At what range do you kill the majority of your ducks?

I cant believe no one has posted yet.... We kill Clays at the Range and Ducks at the Marsh....

My jerk string is set with last decoy at 30 yds. I TRY to shoot at that or closer but it doesnt always work out that way.

40+

I agree 40 to 60! But that also why we shoot heavy loads and tight chokes! You can kill ducks just as far with steel as you can lead if you know how!

I've seen one shot off the water at 105 before with Nitro Steel Hevi Loads.

Yes!

We practice at the shooting range so we can make responsible, ethical shots in the marsh.

If more hunters knew their limitations and chose their shots according, then there might be less skybusting.

I like to hip shoot'em so I need them purdy close.

Ethical=dead right? So I can make ethical shots to 80 yards then

You are assuming that skybusters are actually hunters. In fact, they are just dummies who have a shotgun, lots of shells, and no clue as to what they're doing.

Bad depth perception and cross dominant is a bad combination- most shots less than 20....alot less.

[chopper30]

I always forget my range finder

I wish I could hit them that far out. You've probably been at it a lot longer than me. Maybe I've knocked down some at 40 yards, but even thats a stretch for me. I need to hit the range more.

Any of you guys ever though about practicing at the range with the same stuff you shoot at ducks? You know it's a hell of a difference in the performance of lead target stuff and duck loads! Might be why you cant reach out and touch something!
