Sure. Conditions have to be just right as you mention.
I started as a trapshooter. Our club had nine traps. Our annual picnic was in late August. Late in the day during the picnic we would have a 'porch shoot' from a spot behind trap #4 even with the clubhouse porch.
With the low sun angle that time of day in late August we could see the shot cloud at long distance trap more often than not. I've seen it a few times at sporting clays, but not very often. It's elusive.
And now that I think about it the nickel plated 6's I know damn well some of those old sandbaggers were using probably didn't hurt....
