I have seen tons of guy shooting hunting handguns at the range, at 25 to 50 yards.
Not many can turn in three shot groups at 50 yards of three inches or less.
Not saying it can't be done, but it will be a rare bird that can do so on demand.
Personally, I keep the ranges for hand gun hunting deer and hogs to around 25 yards. Even at that 'close' range, when the old adrenaline is pumping, and the animal is moving, it is damn hard to hit the target.
Maybe so,..but in IHMSA, the shooting begins at 50 meters (about 52 yards),..and going 10 for 10 on the chickens at that distance was pretty much considered the minimum performance for anybody who was serious about the sport.
Even at the little range where I shot, it was routine to see people nail them dead center day in and day out.
I think most people grossly underestimate the accuracy potential of handguns,..and most don't practice enough to take full advantage of it.
