I def agree the more pellets that strike the target, is directly proportional to distance traveled. When using a shotgun like a close range rifle in Timber and waiting for them to stop to shoot, I found it's effective range to be much further than you guys out West who were "shotgunning" them broadside as they do "fly byes" on the caller. Just Apples to Oranges. FWIW I now only use a SG whenever I hunt at my parents where I began years ago or to satisfy an annual urge for fun. I'm just too lazy to haul 2 guns afield. I now use Tripod mostly and shoot them well before 100yds..usually the first time they stop naturally between 200 and 350.
