Larry, yes, thanks for clearing that up. I did fail to constrain the findings with equal bore and shot loads. There is a ton of research yet to be done and just hope some of the researchers will make the effort to use the shotgun insights program and analysis so we can finally build a valid database of shotgun pattern performance.

Tom, I agree with you on the distance on a skeet field. I have, over the years, practiced some longer range shooting and sometimes when I'm shooting a tight choke gun entertain the onlookers by breaking targets near the out-of-bounds stake.
