In most skeet/clay shooting ranges, there is no backstop and the shooters are aiming into the air. With the tiny pellet sizes, they lose energy quickly and drop to the ground at terminal velocity, which is much slower than the speed they were fired. That's why I specifically named bird shot rather than buckshot which has larger heavier pellets. It would still maybe be fine but bird shot definitely would.

skeet/clay shooting ranges

"RANGE" Its it the name dumbass. A shooting range is specifically designed/located/oriented to accomodate for bullet dropoff.

But sure falsely equate that with shooting a shotgun off in the middle of town.

You are a fucking idiot. I wouldn't normally jump to this but what you're suggesting could kill someone.

I will be blocking you now.
