the reason we can have an opinion is because we have all seen/heard about birds being wounded and most of those were a direct result of them being to far. congrats on your 3 shots but that does not mean that numbers 4,5,6,7,8,9,10 wont all get away wounded. it comes down to this. if a couple pellets land in the brain/spine then you will own that bird but if they do not hit that tiny little area then you have wounded a bird. which is why we are so adamant about numbers in the 10 circle aka pattern density and if you have at least 100 in the 10 there is no way that there wont be at least a few land in that tiny kill zone.

I did not write this to start it back up but simply to help you see our side. I wont write again guys sorry.
