Well it's a perspective thing. I was almost on the ground, and the tree in real life is leaning forward. I had to find the exact right position for me on the ground and the exact right position of my friend. He held his head back and hid behind the tree trunk. Seriously. It was just one shot that worked. It was too hard for him to maintain that posture and it was impossible for me to dig a hole and stay stable hehehe. It was a lucky shot, an experiment on the fly. It worked. Plain luck.


That said my friend is so very very skinny. He is 140 pounds and very tall. I am 198 pounds. I would never ever fit behind that tree.
