Boy, sorry I missed that thread, sounds interesting. You're exactly right with that freight train example Fabs -- be too much of a pain for me to figure out the match on that spinning wheel though. As you's stated, I have also heard anywhere from 4 to 8 feet on a string. We always talk about that golden BB that splits a bird in half, and if you walk downrange you'll find lots of clays with a couple holes in them that didn't break. That's why I was thinking you have more 'leeway' on a hit (if it breaks) on the lefts/rights/risers versus a 6 foot pattern that has to be spot on to hit those line drivers.
Another thing that surprised me was we were shooting steel at dusk last year, pretty darn dark, and we could see sparks flying off the birds even though they didn't break. That was weird. Also happens in the daytime, you'll see dust fly off but no chips, so I know there's some bb's getting into them.
KT -- Those Buffleheads sound like they should be related to Coots, talk about a water bird that can't barely fly and 'runs on water'.
Thanks for you thots, Waidmannsheil, Dom.
