When I pattern my buckshot loads it's only at 25 yards, so to date I've not fired on one with buckshot at over 30 yards . When I go out I also carry a range finder . But most of my stand sites I know well enough to know when the deer are inside or close to the 25 yard area . I suspect they'll do ok further out but I set that as my limit and so far I've stuck to it . But then if they ease on out a ways and I can find a reason to kill them anyway I'll go on and do it with the rifle .
I suppose you could say I bowhunt with a shotgun .
I am planning to go out Monday and shoot patterns with buckshot and #1 Bismuth in my new to me EH #3 .
