A five foot hopper could easily go through before a shooter lands.

True.

Personally I wouldn't consider that anywhere near a mid-long range shot.

Me neither, but the OP wasn't that specific. I see that your response was to a post that was that specific.

I don't know the precise distance but I'm guessing that, if it is possible at 5, that is about as far as it would be possible. But I think 5 is probably stretching it for most players unless the shot is really flat.
