I guess it just seems a trick shot to me. All fancy shots really amaze me.
For example, when I was a teenager I worked one week for the local fair when it came to town. All the local boys did it at sometime or other. Anyway the side show i worked for was the one where you shot the star out of the middle of a square card with a machine BB gun. Well, this one guy knew the "trick " of shooting only short burst to take it out in pieces whereas firing in a continuous burst would only blow the card back and you just couldn't take out the whole star.
Well, the boss came up after the fellow had won about 3 stuffed animals and he ran him off and chewed me out about letting anyone win that much.
An ass to work for but I stuck it out and got my 40 bucks. Lol...Hey, I was only 16.
I degress: I looked at that as trick shooting, even if, like you, it really wasn't.
