No, we're making it two dimensional.

Absolutely. A two dimensional pattern on a plate is an exact representation of what will strike, or miss, a straightaway bird or a dead straight incomer, or a turkey's head/neck. And it comes pretty darn close on a quartering bird, seeing as how the bird can only move a very small amount during the time it takes the entire shot string to pass it.

May God bless America and those who defend her.
