Skeeter the answer to the question ias almost impossible to figure. Seriously. Mighta been going 12 at the muzzle. Small shot slows faster..large shot not as fast. The true answer is about 4 ft at a 90 degree angle...maybe a bit more. into the wind with the wind. All makes a diff. But the rub comes when people tell ya this much is 3 1/2 ft. What you see and what I see are different...very different. I have taught many people about shotgun shooting... This is gonna sound a bit different. But it works. Don't ever look at the gun.never. Put the gun up and look at the bird. If you see the front bead.you will miss. Just look at the bird..that little ballistic computer tween your ears will figure the lead. Takes a bit of getting used to. As I told ALL the women I taught to shoot...Look at the bird and all of a sudden it will seem like magic..but you will start hitting. if done correctly at a better than 90% rate. More like 98% Seriously I kept telling those women shooters(I taught a LOT of 'em) Look at the bird..don't try to make a relationship tween the bird and the gun..just look at the bird only...and all of a sudden..it will seem like magic. Heck you can put your chin on top of the comb..but look at the bird..concentrate and it will either die or break.Almost every one of 'em started hitting..and they'd kind of look at me..and say..good grief..it is like magic. I used to shoot lots of crows myself..lots of fun.. Now ...with that said..it was really hard to get the average man to do that. The average American male was BORN knowing how to shoot. LOL
