Hello,

I wrote earlier that I'm a nooby to shotguns and this question will prove that.

I'm looking at remediating a shotgun range. I've worked on ranges that shot all calibers before but never a shotgun-only range.

I don't know the guns so I ask:

How far will typical lead shot fly? What type of shot is fired? I understand that steel shot is not used by trap shooters.

Any response is very appreciated.
