Look on YouTube for George Digweed breaking clays at 115 yards. Not every time, but enough to show it wasn't luck. I believe he was shooting his Perazzi 12 gauge, 34" barrels

Drew Hause said it all in a previous post here.

What we are out there doing is attempting to harvest game birds and we should all be doing it as well as our tools allow us to do it, not sitting around the fire conjuring up dreams that cannot be fulfilled given the tools and science we work with.

I would like to be able to play the piano. But I will never be called a piano player. So, I concentrate on doing what I do with the tools and ability I have at hand.

I'll see if I can find the account of an early 1900s chicken shoot where shotgun shooters try to dispatch a chicken at a fairly reasonable range. It was amazing how difficult it seemed to be to kill a standing chicken dead from just a bit more than standard shotgun ranges.
