No deriding here, sounds like a nicely placed shot to me.

Have some friends who have consistently been taking geese, Lesser Canadas mostly, some Specks/Snows/Blues, with steel 'T's' as they leave a private lake in the greater Knox City, Texas area that they are inclined to roost on in the winters here. They have had good success using it. I do not have personal experience using the steel 'T' size shot on geese, but these guys have shot a bunch of them and the steel 'T's' are their prefered shot size for the purpose. It is all high elevation pass shooting where the birds are 50~60 yards directly overhead. They do not bother the birds while they are on or around the lake proper, rather waiting for them to leave and then taking them on the way out from a miles's distance ... from the lake, not the range of the shots .. tho at 50~60 yards directly overhead I'm sure it would look like a mile to many.
