Turkeys certainly are the exception, there's no arguement there. But when it comes to grouse, woodcock, waterfowl, pheasant and yes, even railbirds - "Shooting Flying" is the true sporting method of taking game. We are not shooting fowl in order that we and our families don't starve, but for sport - and if we need to kill something so badly that we must resort to "Shooting Sitting" (ground-swatting, in your own words) we are a sad lot. The exception, of course, is the wounded game that scurries for the tall grass or brush pile for concealment.
There, I've opened up the very wound I said I wouldn't.
In all good intent, Dean
