I remember two instances of long range pistol shooting I've seen. The first was when a member of our military pistol team gave us a demonstration of hitting a 200-yd target paper, standing freehand, with his 1911A1 target pistol.
The other was when I was shooting at the old Oroville rifle range one afternoon in the 1950's. Fred Huntington drove up and unpacked an old 1902 Colt auto and a Browning High-Power. At my first shot, a jackrabbit jumped up at about 50-yds. Fred grabbed one gun and emptied it at the jack, picked up the other gun and continued the fun. He didn't hit the Jack, but the dust puffs stayed mighty close! The jack was about 200-yds and still picking up speed when the second gun ran dry. Fred grinned, packed up the guns, and went home.
