No worries brother! Just was using a bigger number to be safe in regards to having a tight shot pattern with good knockdown power...This is my first season waterfowl hunting and I am hooked, but I pride myself in being an ethical hunter and always trying to do the right thing. As of now in the season I have yet to take a shot at anything close to that distance...usually just birds cupping into our spread and passing birds literally right in front of us. Just trying to learn the ropes and learn as much as I can because I do really enjoy it!
