wing-shot
Bird hit flying
Wing-shot describes a bird hit while flying, or the act of shooting birds on the wing rather than while perched or grounded: The retriever brought back three wing-shot ducks.
As a verb, to wing-shoot is to fire at flying birds—a skill requiring considerable practice to lead the target properly.
