Default RE: steel shot sucks

maybe out of range just a bit ??? or not leadin the bird enuff ?? i know i shoot quite a few birds each season with steel ... and altho i have had birds fly off after being hit (what seems) hard .... im startin to believe i just didnt lead the birds enuff ..... i cant afford to shoot bismuth, tungsten, etc ....as like i said earlier ... i do quite a bit of shootin durin an average season .. im not sure if ya a beginin hunter or not ... but next time ya have a goose in hand ... feel how thick the feathers are on the underside of the bird and ya will get an idea of why ya shot may not penetrate well at longer ranges .... then feel the neck and head .... a big difference !!
