Usually when I go pistol shooting I shoot at about 20-40 feet. Mostly practice shooting my compact carry pistols hitting a man sized target at 7 yards. Not much excitement there. My step daughter went with me today because she wants to learn how to shoot and go for her concealed permit.
While we were shooting up close for her to get familiar she pointed at what looked like a pie plate at about 50 yards and another target at what I would estimate to be 100 yards or just slightly closer. She kind of made a joke about it and asked me to try to hit it.
It was kind of muddy so I could clearly the ground splash up where I was hitting. I was shooting my Ruger GP 100 with a 6 inch barrel. I don't think I actually hit the targets but I was hitting pretty dang close.
I've never attempted to shoot this far with a pistol until today. I also tried it again with my Kimber just for an experiment and was pretty close.
So just out of curiosity how far out is everyone shooting with a pistol? The Ruger is new I have only had it out 3 times and did buy it with intentions of shooting out a little further than I normally do.
