Pat, let me run to the pond, put mine in a test mode and I will measure the distance with my laser rangefinder then report back.

Back in a few.

O.K., I'm back.

Feeder is on a platform, facing east. It is a Texas Hunter Lake Manager 175. Platform is 5' above the water level in the pond now. The feeder faces East. Wind is coming from the ESE at 8 to 15 mph. I am feeding a 50/50 mix of Optimal Bluegill and Optimal Bass food. The furthest pellets were hitting the water at 66 feet from the feeder, a few hit 69 feet, with the majority of them landing between 30 and 55 feet from the feeder.

I figure I got more distance because of the height off of the water, but that was negated with the wind blowing against the feed that was being thrown from the feeder. It was all landing in an area that it typically lands in when the pond is at full pool with no wind.
