--- Quote from: WSU on October 30, 2018, 08:45:46 AM ---There's nothing wrong with killing ducks at 40 yards. Some folks make it sound like a sin. Modern shells (I shoot 3" shells) will consistently kill ducks stone cold dead at 40+ yards. I certainly like shooting them at 10 feet and shooting them 2 feet off the water is certainly the goal, but I also kill plenty at 40+ yards. I'm not sure why some have to act holier than thou towards people that don't refuse shots past 30 yards. --- End quote --- Nothing wrong with it, if you can do it. Most people (these being the couple times a month hunters) will not shoot clay pigeons with shells costing a buck each for practice, therefore, most people will not be able to effectively kill birds past 30-35 yards. To imply that all it takes is bigger and more expensive pellets does no service to the ducks. :twocents: |

I shoot at 40 also. I just don't agree with the need for 3 1/2 inch shells like he states. I do try to get them closer before I start, but that's just me. |
| RJW:
But I don't hold with this do what I do and use what I use or you're not a "considerate hunter" crap. Comments like that tend to change the whole complexion of a conversation with me. :twocents: |

I shoot what's on sale. I don't like spending more than $8/box of 25. |

3" #2's Kent fast steel work great. |
