How did you measure that 90 yards? Even Nash Buckingham in his Hey-Days with either the first, or the later "Bo Whoopie" A.H. Fox/Burt Becker shotguns and his 3" special Western shells stopped at about 70 yards, according to what I have read. You might hit a goose at that extreme range, but a clean kill. The old timers I did my apprenticeship with on waterfowl liked 'em in close, so's they could see the color of their eyeballs. I've shot and killed clean many geese at 20 yards, steel shot, full choked M12's- than I ever have at 50-- RWTF
