How do I “narrowly avoid” a shot?

Question

There are Treasure Hunt panels with the condition "Narrowly avoid a total of 5 (or 25, or 50) shots in Air Battles."

According to my records, I've narrowly avoided two shots so far, out of what must be at least ten hours of air battles. Getting another three by accident sounds reasonable, but not 23 or 47.

What kind of maneuvering counts as narrowly avoiding a shot?

Answer

You must be gliding to "narrowly avoid" a shot. If you graze while shooting, or after shooting before you go into a glide, it doesn't count.

It also seems entirely unrelated to rolls (flicking the pad in one direction then the other). It's only about how close the shot comes to you. Although, if you're bad at grazing, doing rolls might help you get them faster.

(Now I've got 7, off to get 43 more...)
