Elmer Keith often wrote about shooting is Colt at long range. He'd sit down and place his elbows inside his knees and blast away. He'd also place his gun had against the outside of his knee the muzzle over his boot. I read the stories and today I enjoy shooting my pistols at 100 to 200 yds. It's fun. After you establish your grip and figure out how to view the sights you will be astounded how good you become. You'll bounce a beer can at a 100 yds. I'm pretty good at it.
Then practice off hand. It's easier for me to shoot a pistol from my off hand and off eyed rather than a rifle. .22's are cheap. Work on it. You'll have to close your strong eye tightly, but otherwise it's about the same after some practice. Then work on it one handed.
Then when you go to the range with another guy you can say, "See that white rock on the berm?"
"Yeah"
"I'll hit it off hand, one handed".
"That's got to be 150 yards!"
"I'll hit it in two shots".
"Betchya can't". (Now you've got him.)
Since you've been practicing it's not too hard to do. Might take you three shots. After the guy leaves the range you will have become, in his eyes, a deadeye with a pistol.
You see, almost no one shoots pistols are long range, but it can be done.
