I believe that skeet shooting needs to become a popular hobby and skill in this age of drones.

Its illegal to shoot a drone is the US as drones are classified as airplanes. Just fyi. There are also specific guns and ammunition to do just that.

I believe the term is yeet shooting when the target is at 2000 feet.

Pretty sure there are like emp guns used specifically for taking down drones without projectiles that might cause collateral damage. Though you still have to worry about where the drone falls

If the drone falls out of the sky and hits someone, that sounds like the fault of the person choosing to fly it in a densely populated area. Drones have hardware failures all the time.
