I went thru the calculations of pattern density at 130 yards, assuming a VERY full choke. George Digweed is probably the best shotgunner on the planet, but at that distance, there are a lot of holes in the pattern large enough for a clay to get thru. So, after he has corrected for wind, barometric pressure, target movement, coreolis effect, and whatever else he has to do, I believe you still need to be lucky. Notice that he is shooting a springing teal, so that the shot sees the largest dimension on the clay, not just an edge.
