Kuddos to Oklahoma. Luv the “graveyard dead”
description. She was obviously a good shot....
That's the nice thing about shotguns, you don't have to be a good shot. Shotguns are designed to easily hit small, flying objects, 30 or more yards away. A large object, coming straight at you, from 10 or 20 feet away, is almost impossible to miss.
Even a small shotgun, loaded with birdshot, can easily be fatal from that range.
