A,C, Gould said, in 1894, that the .22 Short was accurate to 50 yards. He briefly mentions the Remington, spends more ink on the Stevens. Maybe because they named a gun after him?
The Standard American Target for 50 yards had an 8" bull, same as the present NRA 50 yard slowfire. I don't know if the scoring rings were exactly the same. but scaling off the screen, they look close.
The 30 yard target was half size, a 4" bull, the 20 yard target quarter size, a 2" bull.
The US Revolver Association shot matches at 50 feet and 20 yards. Single shots allowed in spite of the name. I don't know what targets they used.
