CDRGlock Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I'm newer to longer distance shooting, and I just started using a Ruger Mark II Target Competition with an Ultradot Matchdot. It just came in the mail last weekend. I just sighted it at 50 yards a few days ago. I can hit a 1" steel rod target at 25 yards, a 4" plate at 50 yards, an 8" plate at 75 yards and 10" plate at 100 yards. My friend who has 15 years on me with his same configuration hits a padlock at 75 yards, a 1" steel rod target at 50 yards and a plate at 150 yards. --- For combat, I have hit the 8" plate at 75 yards and 50 yards first time trying the gun out with my Coonan 1911. My Ed Brown Special Forces can also do the same. I've only been able to hit out to 50 yards with my Mars Armament T.H.U.G. My Pythons and Smith and Wesson Model 627s only go to 50 yards shooting double action, right now. It's much more challenging trying a 75 yard plate in double action plate with a 357 Magnum, but I'm working on that, also. I take out anywhere from 4-6 guns on an outing once or twice a week. A year ago, I was only able to stay in the black at 7 yards (Shoot N See add on targets). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rooster mcbee Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 There is an 18 inch steel circle set at 200 yards at my home club. Not hard to hit at all with my .38 super. I just hold at the top of the plate and wait for the ting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a matt Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Sprite can at 100 yds. Beretta 92 and dumb luck, for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DyNo! Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 A few of us hit the range the other day to zero and dope our rifles for the FNH 3-gun match. For shiggles, we busted out the 9mm minor guns to ring steel at long range. A couple of us made hits out to 300 yards - you've got to put a hell of a lot of holdover to get out that far. You probably won't get a first round hit but you'll surely scare the hell out of somebody. I tried shooting out to 400 yards but aiming at 45 degrees in the air is pushing the limitations of the cartridge - got pretty damn close but no luck. The bay goes out to 700 yards but I'm pretty sure hitting the berm means aiming into the air (dangerous). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Front Man Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) 86 yards at a rabid skunk with an old .45 comp gun. Had to have the sights so high I couldn't see the target when I broke the final shot. Fun! Who said open guns weren't Practical?

mike l m Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 One week ago at a training class in Liberty Hill,Tx. Shooting a "c" zone size USPSA target strong hand 1 round and then 2 rounds weak hand at 100 yards. With a Glock 19. Have 10 witnesses thank god.

Luv2rideWV Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) Longest shot: 200 yards with a scoped TC Contender in 30-30 Winchester using a scope and sand bags; was shooting at small swinging steel targets. Otherwise - used to shoot NRA small bore silhouette, and the rams are 100 meter targets; best I could do free handed with open sights is 4 or 5 out of 10. Gun used was a Ruger Mk II with about a 10" bull barrel. Playing at longer ranges with the USPSA gun is a good way to blow off steam after a practice session.

usmc0326 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 At my local range there is a steel plate at 200 yards on the main range. I usually run the plate rack to practice. My buddy was stoked he was hitting the plates at 200 with his 308 savage, I upped the anty with shooting the same plate with my glock 34 with 135 pf ammo. Took a couple shots and adjustments, but previously the max I had tried a pistol shot was 100 yards. We will try 300/ 400 the next time I am at my alternate range.

Calmwater Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Hit a 8 inch balloon at 100 yards with my 438 snub using my +p carry ammo. Took me 4 shots and cost my buddy 20 bucks...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltdmstr Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Bowling pin at 110+. Did it twice, then offered to bet a guy who didn't think I could do it the second time. He declined. Shot with a friend's SV open gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I was taking a carbine class with a buddy and we were shooting uspsa metric targets at about 65 yards and had been transitioning to our handguns but Seeklander said not to worry about it at this distance. I was using my duty Glock with about a 7 lbs trigger and called a head shot to my buddy. One alpa, in the head, not to be reproduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a matt Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) Twice a week when I practice I shoot 6" plates @ 40 yards right went I start and the last shots before I leave. Never had the opportunity to shoot 100+ yd steel, but it sounds like fun! Edited February 5, 2013 by a matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
