And I think someone needs a laser range finder and a lesson on how to use it. You would be lucky to land a single pellet in a lethal spot with 5's at that range much less hit him with enough pellets for a "Sledgehammer" effect. Either you are overestimating the range of these kills or are just plain full of it. Only you know which.
You guys are comical these where verified with a range finder the third gentlemen was just abt to lean over the the shooter and tell him don't shoot they are to far when whaaammmm! The bird face planted with little more than a twitch we all just looked at each other like what just happened. And to Dan I have shot my gun at targets to 60 yards admittedly the density is obviously not what 7s nor probably 100 pellets in a 10 inch circle but out to 60 yards I am fully confident I still achieve adequate density and 65-70 would although not be 100% would more often then not kill that bird. Again I did not not have I ever shot that far I was the third party and yes it did happen dispite your accusations that it did not.
