How Quick Is Your Draw?

Yeah there is some sadists in my club that love the long shots hahaha. Max is usually 25m I just choose to push it out a bit

30m is long for pistol shooting?

(not mocking, asking, never done it.)

Yeah 30 metres is pretty long for pistol. The furthest match I've ever shot is 50 yards which is just under 50 metres. Metalic silhouette guys shoot out to 100 metres if i remember correctly.

It's funny to hear some peoples expectations of shooting and accuracy.

I'm heard some guy at the range for the first time say something like "I'm surprised, I thought I'd just hold the crosshair over the bullseye and pull the trigger and hit it!"

30 metres is fair, most good pistols with match grade barrels and others can at 50 metres hit dead centre, as will any good S&W revolver, 686, I know can hit at 80 metres. Some are hand loads, muzzle velocity around 1200f/s.
A good pistol shot can hit at 200 metres, see them at metallic silhouette all the time, and many use good revolvers and semi's.

Couple of major matches in IPSC set a few targets at 45-50metres, or pepper poppers.

In fact many years ago when I began shooting I would take 400 rounds to the range, the first 40-50 rounds where always at 50 metres, then I moved closer etc. We are talking standing, unsupported, not prone, that takes far to long. Prone 100 metres with slight elevation is not that hard for a good pistol, (not Glocks) sorry, but any good STI, Tanfoglio, 226 and quite a few more.

50m

Imagining that with pistol and I wouldn't have a chance
