Charlie,
Most every thing I shoot is within about 40 yards. The longest shot I ever made was on a goose with a Winchester riot gun with an 18" barrel. It was the first year of steel shot and I had nothing of my own that I could shoot it through except the behind the bedroom door gun. The Canada was a single and I knew I would only be educating one bird so I swung ahead about a school bus and a half and let the "T" shot fly. I was putting the gun down when the bird fell out of the sky. 70 yards to the pick up point. That, like shootng a running groundhog in the ear at 150 yards with a .270, was just blind luck.
