Depending on the model of shotgun, the choke, type of shot used, and even the powder a shotgun can have WILDLY different effective ranges; in the range of a couple hundred feet. (although given he was half-assing the entire fight to begin with, effective range probably doesn't matter all that much in this case.)

And, based on this screenshot taken a split second beforeo ne of Qrow's shot lands; he has a pretty tight choke and therefore extremely minimal spread on his.
