Ultrastu Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Does that mean your not allowed more or less than 1 ,1/8 of an oz and that the shot cant be bigger than .241 mm Surely they mean 2.41 mm ? Or smaller .? I guess ideally they provide the carts .just one type Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCat Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 You were popping 90 yard pheasants not so long ago so should be easy for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder who will win this highly desirable certificate for luckiest shot on the day. Do people really not understand how shot gun patterns work ?

It's the extra 40 yards beyond that where it becomes more trickier Ginge! 😏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) When digweed did it, it was using a black gold five shot iirc. Not sure if his was recognised by Guinness records. Turn up with a four bore loaded as heavy as can be. Edited July 17, 2019 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grrclark Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 100% doable, but probably 80% luck that out of a completely blown pattern enough pellets hit the target to break it. For context of the distance if you imagine standing on peg 7 at skeet, it would be the same as shooting at a high house target on the 3rd skeet range down. Or standing at one end of Twickenham’s pitch and shooting a clay at the other end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCat Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 The stray pellet cup. 70 yards past even the most generous range of a shotgun firing shot. You may as well mount a static one on a piece of cardboard and let those that want the title to pull the trigger of a mounted gun, it's entirely luck at that range.

Perazzishot Posted July 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Ginger if you think 60 yards is the range of a shotgun, I would challenge you to bare your **** at 100yds and have it shot if you are that certain! The result would require a trip to A&E without a doubt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 It wouldnt mate . 60 yds yes .but no 6 at 100 yds carries very little energy . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or standing at one end of Twickenham’s pitch and shooting a clay at the other end. It's almost inconceivable that at that range more than one pellet would find the mark (by luck rather than judgement) and even if two did, it's inconceivable that they would have arrived at the exact same moment AND hit the same area in order for them to benefit from the extra oomph of kinetic energy. This is beyond silly, find a suitable barn on one of your farms (don't worry about damaging it so no need to ask the owner as such), cover one side with paper or cardboard, walk back 130 yards and fire a 32g load of 7's 😑 then come and tell us the resulting "pattern" is anywhere near distinct enough to assume a hit is anything other than random strikes, not saying the "winner" won't have to hold straight, just that such records can conceivably be won by our collective grans.

I was hunting a dove field a few years back and there was hunters about 100-150 yards on the other side. We got peppered a few times. It stings a little but it bounces off skin.

Smokersmith Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 We had some fun at a recent flush event, where there was a long crosser (full face) ... estimated to be 120 yards at it's closest. 4 guns, 2 shots each ... and the best any team did was 2 ex. 4 in the sequence. No-one was claiming the kills to be down to good shooting!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t disagree Hamster, the target will be shot and broken, assuming it is full face and spinning, but other than approximating having the shot in the right patch of sky there the skill ends and the luck begins. 11cm is a very small object at 130yds amidst some very big holes in the pattern.

The result would require a trip to A&E without a doubt! I've been shot at about 100 yards from a shotgun and it stun very lightly on my t shirt. It was no 6 shot and 30 g. I got hit once on my upper arm. It didn't leave a mark. I was walking the hedge to pick a long bird that dropped and my mate shot a low one. No one's fault really and it hurt a teeny tiny but more than falling shot on a clay range. Being shot with a gat gun when a child hurt considerably more. The hedge either side of me rustled for about 15 yards either side so one can only guess at the immense spread through his half choke. Moving up to 3s or 4s and beyond then yes that would smart however the pattern would be so laughable at that range you may as well close your eyes as you shoot. If I were shooting game then yes 60 yards is the max range, preferably 40. I don't need to exercise my ego when I shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Getting hit by falling shot whilst out beating is commonplace. It doesn't hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 The shot size allowed is 2.41mm English 6.5 Regardless of whether shot hurts or not at 100 or 150 yards. The clay has been broken at 130 yards as the record stands. Wonder if it can be beat or even equalled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
