Or a scope for that matter.

It's also called artillary.
Send enough in you're sure to hit something.

Hitting targets far, far away with rifles that aren't meant to be able to shoot that far is more fun than you can have without taking your pants off!
I'm still smacking our clubs 600 yard buffalo gong with my .50-70 that requires 25 meters of hold over at that distance and I still giggle like a kid.
