ABSTRACT:
A shotgun shell flight path indicator is described which in general includes a shell casing having propellant disposed within the interior of the casing proximate and a non-combustible indicator positioned within the casing. The indicator generally has a sufficient mass and size for unaided observation following discharge from a shotgun barrel. The indicator may include ballast integral to the base and pedals extending outwardly from the base to assist in aerodynamic drafting behind expelled shot to visually represent the flight trajectory of the expelled shot of a shotgun shell.
