Thread: Your longest successful shot with a scattergun

when shooting rabbits full time with lead #3s falcon sp36 it wasnt unusual to take a sitting bunny at 80 yards...think the hard tarras ground helped by bouncing bottom of pattern back up...we would often fire and watch where bunny ran,head that way to see bushes shaking as it kicked it last.
years ago...close to 30.... I had been sitting in maimai in haypaddock trying to get decent tally of parries all day,had 5-6 from memory but this pair just sat up in ridge squaking and warning off any that came in so I had enough of that...stalked up as close as could get...lets just say well over a hundred yards,aimed a good 15 yards above them and fired,hoping to get them to circle over where I was...they both flew off in other direction but I kept watch in case they came back....nope but after about 6-700 yards had been flown the white head dropped like a stone...WTF ???? so I went over to wee gully where it had fallen and dog found it jammed into swampy ground...plucked it right out and single pellet hole into throat pellet down in lungs....cant say if it was the long range one or shot from earlier in day...

the definate longest was a wallaby at over 200 yards way down below us with round of #7 buck...the dogs were good distance behind it but caught it down on track below...we got it and skinned it,again single pellet into chest.
