Wow, that's amazing. If you take the video and move it frame by frame, you can actually see the bird flying into the frame, and the ball in the air, then the next frame. BAM! Feathers everywhere. I wish the video was long enough to show the players reactions after it happened.

The incident brought back bad memories for me. 2 summers ago I was at the driving range with a buddy and I killed a bird flying over with a knock down 9 iron shot. I felt like crap.

Damn that must have been some 9 iron because I hit a goose with a driver once and it shook it off and looked at me real nasty!

Edit: Plus I can drive the ball 300 yards+

It was a sparrow. I hit him right in the dome. Killed him instantly.

I killed a sparrow with sling shot when I about 8 or 9 years old. I did it on accident.:( I mean, I was aiming for it but I figured there was no way I was going to hit it...it was perched on a fence about 40 feet away.

Well, it exploded... just that bird did on the video. I can't talk about it anymore...I, I, I think I'm going to be sick.;)
