People often chide us for not having a backstop, or they see cars off in the distance and think we are being reckless. Maybe they just can't judge distances through the lens of a camera, they don't understand physics, or assume shotguns can shoot further than a .50 bmg sniper rifle. I don't know. But people have asked me how far a shotgun slug can travel and when I tell them, they are often surprised and don't believe me. In this video you can see with your own lying eyes how far they will travel.
STILL, always know what is beyond your target, shoot safely, but don't use Hollywood or video game physics to learn your gun safely from.
HOW far will a 12 ga. Foster Slug Go? (spoiler: less than you think) ─ TAOFLEDERMAUS
