I'd never trim one to land in front of me, behind the firing line is a much better place to lay your hat...
they get to wild when tossed behind the firing line. Up front out of the way in a nice pile, I only messed with a hat a few times on some bets with a few bolt gun shooters. They did generally land about on the firing line, give or take... no big deal as long as they were in a pile.
