MuffintopMarksman Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I really enjoy getting out past 100 yards or so and shooting steel (C-Zone most of the time because it’s what I’ve got) with whatever pistol I’m focusing on at the time. Same basic test can be made with a dot drill but there’s something about overcoming the mental block most folks have that handguns can’t be used at further distances. Sight alignment and trigger control must be spot on of course and recoil management definitively has to be on point to make it more than a one shot drill. As I’ve gotten more comfortable with it, I’ve periodically tried Bill Drills (longer time window of course) or lower par times for my first shot. Fun stuff if you’re getting bored with close paper targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runnin2live Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Sounds like fun stuff. I am limited to 40 yards max at our range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its certainly challenging but also pretty rewarding (when it’s done right ). Have you tried something like an 8” late at that distance? I’m sure it would offer a similar challenge.

Runnin2live Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Ya that’s a good idea. I am working on a mobile plate rack of sorts. I got a few pepper poppers now that are a bit thin at 40. But I just need to slow down and focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpm8300 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 100 yards with any USPSA set up pistol is going to be a challenge - once you get back USPSA distances the ammo and gun become factors. I have a CZ Shadow 2 Orange that shoots about 1.5" groups across all my loads, at 20 yards. I haven't printed it but at 100 yards, hitting an 8" round will be inconsistent due to gun/ammo limitations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pmatte1 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) .45 on plates at 100yds with iron sights is a good challenge but forces you to be textbook with trigger pull and sight picture. Lot of fun either way though if you’ve got the steel. Edited January 8, 2023 by Pmatte1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Npoulson Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Before i got super into competitive shooting me and a buddy would go out to his club and do this they had a steel at 200 we would see who could hit it in the least amount of shots it is super satisfying to shoot a pistol and a few seconds later hear that ding luckily for us it is dusty so you could call where they went most of the time easier to walk it in. I got pretty good at doing it in a few shots then discovered competition and dont really do it as much. Also some jerks kept stealing the targets on that range they had steel at 100-150-200-300 for everyone to use and now its gone because they got tired of replacing stolen items. This also lead to cameras everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maur Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Its great practice that I need to do more. I rarely shoot past 25 yards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
