birdshots effective range
hi. is the maximal effective range for birdshots still 75m (or 72)? and if so, is it correct value for all calibers (10, 12, 16, 20 GA)?

Re: birdshots effective range
Cant say for sure, but in my last hunt one of the ducks i harvested had a 90+ mts shot, the other was 62mts, and the weapon was the primal 12pump, so maybe i got a long that made not real harm in the duck but got registered anyway.

Re: birdshots effective range
Take it to a range and test it. Bird shot doesn’t register hit markers anymore but you if I’m not wrong you still get the score pop up. Blast one at 76m if nothing no pops up range is still 75m

Re: birdshots effective range
Just to clarify, i think i may have confused the feet distance with the meter distance in the score, when my dog bring me the ducks i usually look at the score and click the resume asap, but i saw a 99.7 or so in the distance from a second shot, and i took mental note because i was surprised, i would have to check my hunt to find the duck, but i think it was a feet/meter confusion since there are some with 99 feet distance shots, my apologize if i caused some confusion.
