Lmao at the UMMM. But that really is a cool pic of the hound bringing back that bird. I've seen them fly off after I shot them and feathers flew. I chalked it up to shooting them in the azz and I'm sure they flew off and died

Hate to say it but it's not the steel. It's the poor shooting. Get em closer or shoot em up front. 30 yards should be graveyard dead whether you are shooting steel or lead. They have done studies on the effects of steel shot by the way. They don't cripple no more than lead did. I am not going to dig up the study as I am sure ya'll can search it out. If I remember correctly lead actually crippled more. Lead has a much longer shot string than steel does. So steel has a denser pattern than lead does.
