You really have to stand in the right place and do the math, but if you
double-adjust for windage and fire upwards at just the correct angle, the
shot will "cleen-n-peen" the element tops on the way back down. Don't forget
to wear a hat.

If you use a small enough shot, you can also polish the elements at the same
time. Be sure to fire in the direction of True North.
