I only hunted birds or water fowl. No shots were more than 30 yards.
Even 30 might be an exaggeration.
Birds are tricky to judge.
I've shot doves out to 50, back in the lead allowed F&W days.
Mowed area was to 40.
Dropping them out in the standing flowers was cool............and doable opening day. Could go by feathers to find where dropped.
But then the DNR planted grass between.......and it was tough.
2nd day, w feathers laying on top of waist high grass..........it was a PITA. Doable, lots of effort.......and itchy.
Thus ended the long dove shots.
Then they said no lead.........so 40 w steel was a long one (steel sucks- try for 30 and in to make it tolerable).
Have shot geese to 50 yards, Bismuth #2's.
Could not connect at 60. Tried a couple of times, saw clouds go behind. Brain does not compute lead that far.
50 is my limit. Period.
A 10 ga w BB Bismuth...........could fold em past 60 I reckon. I'd like to have an SP10 to try it.
But that's a lot of money for something my brain probably can't do.
Big honker at 60.........drop like wet wash rag..........oh yeah. Wish I could.
