If a bird is flying by, you can instinctively reach out and touch the beak with your left hand.
Same principle when playing with the light, fast, shotguns.

It's taught as a two handed exercise.
Left hand reaches forward, right hand brings the stock to cheek, head upright, shoulder rolls into the butt.

When the Grey's clear the hedge, it works fabuluously.



So it's a jab, not a swing.

Referring the pix of the overhead shot, it would seem it would require some amount of swing after mounting to achieve that pose.
