I've only had luck at extreme range shooting a big bore gun with the heaviest loads possible. Guys that do it with a 12 gauge amaze me, I couldn't do it probably because I think I can't. Kaas and I killed limits of ducks the last day in Quebec this year on a pass shooting venture and I don't believe a single bird was under 50 yards, some were probably as far as 60. That's as far as I feel confident with a 12 bore. I just won't pull the trigger on anything further unless I'm shooting at a flying cripple then figure what the hell it's worth a try. But 60 yards certainly ain't 100, or even 80......
