http://mysite.verizon.net/vze12flqr/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/clay_target_breaks.mov If you look his shot pattern is high above the bird but the outer edge of the pattern catch the target. Im looking for more film. The gent who did this said he was going to try and do more film looking at what the shot pattern really looks like from muzzle to target.

What the shot pattern looks like???

It's a cone shaped field of pellets, which starts off as a column, and migrates into a slight cone as the pellets bump into each other, slowing some down, which moves from the muzzle outward, getting larger as it goes further away.
