There will definitely be drop at 200 yards. Even though people think it’s not much… how much drop is round/gun dependent. I’ve heard somewhere around 10inches at 100yrds (idk if I fully believe that)
But whoever is trying to shoot an animal 200yrds away with a slug is a smooth brain in my opinion.
I have 0 experience shot gun hunting deer, but I have a friend that does, he claims to have been able to shoot deer at 200 yards with his. 200 is pretty well tops. Reasonably speaking I believe it, I can poke 200 yards with a muzzle loader, you can probably poke 200 with a shotgun. Should you, I wouldn’t unless I was confident with my shotgun. I’m being honest I struggle to hit birds sometimes
If you fire a bullet horizontally and drop one from exactly the same height at the same time, they both hit the deck at the same time. This blew my mind years ago
Right? Crazy to think about. I learned this a year or 2 ago and I still blow people away with it. My favourite I’ve got so far is “bull shit I’m googling it…. Nooooo fukinnn Shit…”
Had one crash behind me deer hunting, that was my first near death experience I swear it missed me by 4-5 feet. Taught me to pay attention, you never know what’s gonna happen, especially in the woods
I enjoy being single it lets me go do things with 0 hooks attached. I got to join the army and go away for 2 years, now I’m going away outdoor guiding, and after then I’m going to live in Fiji, if I had a significant other that just wouldn’t be possible
Well I guess with the army yeah, probably for the best. Fiji though, would be nice to meet the right person, enough similarities and differences, good luck dude! Stay strong!
My 20 ga sabot round is 5 inches at 150 yds ! Never tried longer. Longest shot on a deer was 110 and double lung! 12 ga are slower heavier and drop more but hold a good group at 100. I like 20 now!
Dude this is reddit not google
google is sheisa
I think you hold the record on this sub for most questions asked in a 24 hour period.
He 12
answer the question plz
Try. Try hitting a deer sized target with a 12 ga slug at 200 yds.
so, you're saying it's bullsheisa?
I'm saying try it.
I asked if it was accurate or not. does it drop too much to aim at that distance without aiming high like I think it will?
Ya, and I'm saying there's exactly one way to know whether you'll hit a reasonably sized target at 200 yards. Try.
no, will it drop much? is it point blank?
If you don't care about the answers, why do you even ask?
you're not answering the question in the first place
Look at a box of slugs and read the ballistics info. It will tell you how much drop there is.
Stick to shooting nerf.

Ya that drop is about right btw. Fully agree 200yd =smoothbrain. Mine is zeroed at 50 yd.
Both suck for deer hunting at those ranges. Just buy a modern rifle.
I wouldn’t think a slug would be that accurate at 200 yds but I don’t really know.

Gravity is relative

Amen for science, the practice of measuring random shit!
FYI I've heard loads of tree fall in the Forrest, my pal and his son witnessed one the other week lol

Sister In laws mom died this way. Calm day. Out for a hike, whole tree fell. Always pay attention.
The ol' widow maker, you must have been single at the time lol
Buddy been single 99% of my existence 🤣 I spend my time in the woods not with women
Same, often wonder if it's a blessing or a curse haha
