That is probably one of the hardest shots there is since it is rare in the way most of us in US hunt, especially in an upland setting. Its also a hard shot to safely set up at a sporting clay range, so you just don't see it too much. Unless you hunt a lot of those Continental Pheasant hunts. You may see it some in a dove field as well. Its just a tough shot to pull through and lose sight of bird and then pull the trigger. I found it was just better for me to let em pass and get em as they are even or going away if you its a safe shot, but then you could be faced with one of the hardest shots.
I think the absolute hardest shot that even some English shooting experts agree on is a driven pheasant that is tailing and quartering away from you. See an awful lot of powder burned on those misses on those.
