M EASURING the flight of birds is not an 
exact science but most authorities 
agree that a wild goose will average a rate 
of from 110 to 125 feet per second. A 
12-gauge shell loaded with 3 l A drams 
du Pont Powder, V/s ounces No. 2 chilled 
shot, gives an average velocity of 736 feet 
per second at 40 yards.
