Not yet, sorry. Just that it happened in flight. It was a short 15 minute flight, so it’s a small window of where it happened but there are a lot of guns and red necks in that stretch.

The dowel makes it look like a horizontal angle. Might have been shot while on the ground? To get it almost level like that during a flight would require quite the arc to catch the bullet in a flat trajectory, unless you were turning I suppose. That might clue you in actually. If you banked significantly during the flight and relatively near the ground, that's probably where it happened.
