sometimes i consider it but than just move on and save my ammo.. I used to get mad when someone shot me in a chute..
 But now could care less.... then again i just dont bother bailing anymore either...

Nope.  

If they are low close to touch down I'll shoot the man.

If they are nice and high, I let'em hang.  

Then come back in 5 min when they about to touch and shoot them then. ;)

Almost as sweet as shooting someone in free fall is seeing them splat trying to time the low chute opening.

i have always killed chutes... I have never missed any chutes (that i remember)
Rules of Chute killing:

1. NEVER MISS, if you can take the shot do a fly by and go kill another plane, or turn around and get a better shot.

2. IF you miss you make the bailer think of you as a n00b (cus u cant hit the damn chute)

3. If you kill shoots but dont like to be Shot in a chute, DONT do either.

4. If you DO get the chute and he whines on Channel 1 type " chute killers" and move on.

5. Chutes above 5k are in safe mode, Either move on or fly around him till he reachs 1k then kill him.

6. IF you miss, u really do suck.

Okay, those are the "rules", but Chute-shooting ain't engine maintenance.  It's an ART FORM, guys! If you get more artistic effect from spraying the chute at 20k, doing a slow rev, a dive to Vmax and a single shot to the head at 20 AGL, who am I to argue?


So yeah, the sun hitting the camera on a backlit portrait is generally a series of bad ideas, but if the overall artistic effect works, so be it!

Yes, it is art but limits for the art; to make your art good etc etc
Follow those and invent your own way to kill the chutes ;)
