BBs? The steel (lead is no longer used) inside a shotgun shell is called 'shot.' As in bird shot. If it were double-ought buck, it would contain 9 32-caliber pellets. Roughly. Bird shot is MUCH smaller.

Duck Season, Wabbit Season!

Is that the Robertsons? It’s a skill, it’s a sport and it’s Biblically okey dokey!

Shooting Donald Duck is a whole lot of fun and a whole lot of work. Earplugs are a must.

I tried clay pigeon shooting once.
Perfect score.
25 shots.
25 misses.
Ducks and clays safe but humans watch out.
Decided golf was slightly less frustrating.
It’s a great picture from OP.
At least the wild ducks have a chance which is more than the farmed ones we eat have.
And that is whole different debate.

What goes up must come down. If you were to shoot a rifle into the air, the bullet would come back to earth at a velocity that would be capable of killing someone, that is why shotguns are used. What they are doing is perfectly legal as long as the hunter has the proper license.

Law requires steel shot, so distance is reduced more. 50 yards is about as far as the shot goes for any knock down efficiency.

When does it end? It can’t be safe for too much longer as the villages are growing and putting houses all around that lake.

Were they shooting toward the Turnpike noise? Let them have fun. They were shooting at ducks before the houses were built.

The hunters were there first...

If they're off property, and not aiming at the rec center, it's nunya... (as in nunya bidness...)

It would be hilarious if it wasn’t so sad. This whole site has pretty much turned into an uninformed, agenda driven mosh pit.
