None of the above matters (I don't think) on this particular play, but can matter on different plays. Your (apparent) misunderstanding of the two definitions (and, iirc, other definitions) could cause you to rule incorrectly.
So, my gentle suggestion would be to read the book more (and read for greater understanding) and post less (it's NOT my suggestion that you stop posting altogether).

I see the difference between act of shooting and airborne shooter. I read the book plenty. Dozens of hours every week including the off season. I only have 220 posts in 1 year. That isn't very many. What is the point of this forum if we can't ask our questions and talk through scenarios.
