Tough to hit on the wing,I've missed a few on the ground.
I think ruffed grouse would be the hardest thing to hit airborne.They're hard enough to get with a shotgun!

No quail by me, but I have shot at woodcock.  I missed a lot so decided to try a snaro.  Put one on a flu-flu and went out only to find that the woodcock can outfly an arrow with a 300gr snaro and flu-flus.  ;)

I have taken two bobwhites in the air.  One was at the end of filming an ESPN tv show called Ultimate Outdoorsman.  All weekend I had been using a shotgun (a weapon I hunt with on RARE occasion).  On the last day I broke out the recurve.  I missed the first three and hit the fourth square in the back knocking it from the sky.

I didn't think of using snaro points. That may help, although the season is just about over.

You have to be quick on the draw to get them on the wing. They are quick in flight and hit the ground again running. I gotta admire you guys that have taken them on the wing.

Where I hunt them with a shotgun I may have more luck because they have more cover and stay set longer, but that area is covered with rocks and I can't afford the arrows!

Compared to flying quail, flying pheasants are a sitting target. When it came to shooting grouse the closest i could get was when I shot at the tree the grouse was bound to fly around.
