Cheney had a 28-gauge Perazzi shotgun, so we can infer:

a. He is wealthy ($30,000 and up), no surprises there
b. He is a very good shot (a small-bore shotgun)
c. Everyone makes a mistake now and then, some larger than others

I have a Winchester Pigeon Grade 28-gauge over/under, and so far lots of 
pheasant but no human casualties that I know of.  We had pheasant and 
turkey this Thanksgiving.  The pheasant is where you bring out your best 
red wines.  The wild turkey is better than raised, but I have never been 
able to bag one - they are always at least one step ahead :).
