Default RE: steel vs. hevi shot

Ok. My Figurizations of the Calculations after long hours of observation and determination to figure out the situation. I have concluded that if you put the bead on the duck, and its not just a half a mile out there, the duck will fall. I love it when i hunt with guys who bring these "high power" shells that people buy because they think it will make them kill ducks. (along with the $250 calls and the waders with the packaging folds still on them,while blowing their calls at 5:00 a.m. at the quickshop lol, i just had 2 say that)
and unload their guns on a single greenhead floatin into the hole. and miss every time, and somehow i seem 2 limit shootin just a regular steel load and a full choke. the truth is any halfway decent shot could kill just as many ducks with a 410 shootin #6's as anyone else could shootin these Tungsten 3.5" thru a 10 guage. You've just gotta be able to hold off the trigger just a little bit longer in order for the ducks to commit. I know a guy that i hunt with who shoots a Rem 870 20 guage, with 3" steel and kills ducks just as good as anyone else. Nothing makes me madder than 2 watch some rookie start blastin away at the first duck that comes within treetop height while theres 500 about to commit. Ok, I'm done.
