Pistol at 100 & 150yds: Fun!

Yoshi · Sep 16, 2013

So, I had the opportunity to try my hand at long range pistol shooting: 9mm at 100yds and .45 at 150yds. If anything, just for sh!+'s and giggles.

The drop was surprisingly low, but the fun part was that I could visually track the boolit the whole way. Hadn't seen that before and I was quite thrilled about shooting that far and being able to watch it all the way to the target.

Good fun! Next time I'll take my video camera and see if it will pick it up.

BTW - I am decent at 50yds, but I couldn't hit shite at that distance. Maybe hit it 2-3 times... Danced all around it with the exception of a few flyers. Just another skill I need to develope and looking forward to it.

Nope. But, I'll make sure to pick his mind about this next time I am training with him. :party29:

I will have to train with him one of these days....

This fella is pretty slick. Shoots the dinky barrel better than a lot of folks shoot rifles. (I kind of want to be like him when I grow up...)

Fundamentals are the same. Once you find your holdover reference it gets easy.

Use a 10mm, not those ancient WWI rounds, next time.

I know, right? I have one. Just didn't bring it this time.

I have a pistol and caliber that is made for that range: S&W 460M.

Picture under my name.

Yoshi, your a little late, but welcome to long distance handgun sniping.

With some practice, you'll be picking off soda cans at 100+ yards consistently.

BTW, 357SIG has almost no drop out to 150 yards.

I never really thought about that application, but I am excited about honing that skill.

Try doing it with 455 Webley sometime, you have to aim about 20 ft above the target. Its like underhand throwing.

It's definitely fun to shoot handguns on a rifle range. The look on other peoples faces, Priceless.

Freakin' SCARCQB got me hooked on it.

for some real fun try 100 yds with a black powder revolver --the 58 Remington works better for this than the 60 colt..

I find it hard to see soda cans at 100 yards.

As per my last exam, 20/13 uncorrected vision.

(My left eye was blurry from holding it closed.)
