I'm bored and wanted to stir the pot. Many years ago I was introduced to long range pistol shooting by non other than Elmer Keith. Shooting on a steel plate at 600 yards with .44 Magnum. Consistant hits. I followed that with shooting on targets with my 1911 at shorter ranges of 100-200-300 yards and can still do it with alarming regularity at 200 yards.
We often chided the long gun shooters as animals who had to grovel in the dirt while atempting to place hits in the center of their targets using every device known to man while we gentlemen, stood upright and one handed placed the shots in the center of the target with elan and serenity, shot after shot. Of course, competition pistol shooting seldom goes past 50 yards and especially for national match shooting and unless you are doing silhouette shooting.
Ahhh, the gauntlet is thrown down.......
