This one was a longish shot

And at the shot he didn’t drop and flop. We weren’t sure what happened and I was afraid of a miss. We went to go look and found the bird stone dead about 30 yards from where he was standing when my son pulled the trigger

So I’m pretty sure my son being a little off on the shot combined with the distance means the breast absorbed more pellets than normal
