So what d'ya reckon then Matt? Doable?hmmm - good idea....
It was nearly to the picnic table... I was erring towards the lake.
(and yes - I work next to the window, so I can stand with my nose pressed up to it)

I just did that G.oog.le measuring thing and worked it out to the sheep with one black ear.
Went out into the field and the whole flock had gone! Useless!!! :crazy:

Well - I'm not a good enough shot to really analyse this - but looking out at that picnic table and imagining a standard crosser, edge on... I would worry about consistently hitting it with my set up (28g / half choke - I'd probably use a 6.5) - it is a long way away.

God i looooooove learning new things....thank you.
I am off to try and try it on a piece of land 'up north now'.....don't suppose it can work out how many houses you can get on it can it? (Standard size).
Using that tool - and assuming it is accurate - and then looking out of my window.
I would say the longest clay I have ever hit (and would consider it something consistently repeatable) - is about 65/70yds. You can all judge me on my skill level, but I think that's what we see on the courses we regularly shoot.
In a coaching session with Ed at Grimsthorpe (*sigh*) - I think I topped out hitting them consistently at about 70/75 yards (belly on crow - variety of 28gr shells through half choke - distance paced and not measured)

If you measure the area, standard figure used in planning circles is 35 houses per hectare, but thats for a bog standard housing development. Obviously a lot less if you're going upmarket.
I would say that anybody hitting such a target with any sort of consistency would be regarded as a cracking shot ! 21g of size 6 shot will have opened out to quite a diameter at 90 yds leaving a lot of room for a clay to pass through. Will shot string come into play on this type of target ??? 
..... Oopps that's a cabbage for me then !

Mind you if you can hit that with consistancy, you should be able to nail, Richards extreme going away birds

I should think at that distance, that the Coriolis Effect would come into play!!Will shot string come into play on this type of target ???
