That depends on the definition you assign to "shoot". If it is how far the projectile travels before coming to rest on the ground or some other surface then the answer is at least several hundred yards. If we are talking about effective killing range then we need to know what type of shell we are shooting and what we are killing. 3 inch magnum game loads will kill dove out to maybe 20 yards in my experience. Maybe more maybe less depending on the gun and the shooter. Although I've never fired slugs from a .410 I doubt they would really do the job on a deer at 100 yards. I've not run the ballistics on them and I don't really see a need to. A .410 is basically an up close gun, even more so than other shotguns. They can do some unentended damage at range though so be safe.
