Not me, but if shooting starlings inside 50 yards with a 22 or pellet rifle ever becomes a thing, I’m going to be a contender….

Probably the guy on here that claims a minute of angle target at any distance, with any wind is easy. Doubtful 
Too close for irons, switching to scope...

I remember as a very young man hitting a soda can at 300 yds with my 22/250 Ruger #1.... I was amazed as was my friends....how thing change with time Growing up, the old man popped a ground hog at 600yds with a Remington 700 .22-250, 6-18x redfield and 52gr Hornady fbhp’s. It was legendary through the family at the time.

I've posted this before, but I'll put it up again. I have went head to head, or rubbed elbows with the best (mostly silhouette shooters) Wigger, Tubb, O'Neil, Sanchez, Lopez, Flint, Mullins, to name a few. Most are very low key. Point being it's different than being an internet key pounding blowhard, that when pressed can't come up with one thing that signifies he's even shot one match.
If there was a field of say 25 shooters, worn out old men (much like myself), old ladies, and kids just out of square pants, that Sticky shot against, he would be lucky to place 15th let alone going against the best here.

Long Range Hunting or Shooting is unethical
Stalk closer.
Even on steel
🤣😂🤣
The people wringing their hands over Trump's rhetoric don't know what time it is in America.

It was legendary through the family at the time. That was a hell of shot with the gear we had back then. I used to frequent a busy range and an old guy was always there with a car trunk full of rifles. He and I kinda hit it off and one day he pulled a bull barrel single shot FN Mauser in 300 win mag with an MPI stock out of the trunk. Put on the bags, pulled a note pad from his pocket, dialed the Weaver K10 target scope and told me to hold dead on the 500 yd gong, I nailed it first try. My introduction to dialing, I was amazed. This was before rangefinders so it was a range stunt at a known yardage. But a light came on for me that day!

I would say the answer would vary with the different disciplines. it's discipline takes its own unique set of skills. Benchrest , F class silhouette, PRC , the granted the same people can usually Excel when they change over to a different discipline great example is David Tubbs. a lot of people or maybe most people know the name through the camp Perry shooting with the man also dominated the silhouette game for many years..

Known size targets at unknown distances with no laser rangefinders (so you have to range with your reticle) Max round count you can carry. Max time to shoot all your rounds. At least two different shooting positions. In person, not "postal" would be interesting.
I'd RO, since I'm not winning anything.

I can make you nervous if I’m shooting at you at 700 yards, as long as you ain’t shooting back.
That ain’t long range, though.

It’s definitely me, if you ask my daughters!
On two roosters the other day, one commented, my reflexes aren’t that fast. Does 30 yds with a heavy red label 12 ga count! Real work was my dog finding the still 1/2 alive bird in deep cattails and water up mid thigh on me, I ain’t short.
I try to get closer for sure, have learned a lot from many way better than me!
And I hope my sarcasm is detected, I ain’t no long range shooter, but do like to shoot.

If you 2 want to narrow it down to Red Ryder BB guns on sparrows, starlings, and the occasional Japanese hornet keeping it under 20 yards I'm in!!

Shooting targets in controlled ranges is far different than hitting stuff when it counts. Big Stick is who I would bet on. I'd take that bet. There's people on here that have won national level precision rifle competitions. If you're putting money on the guy who has dodged any and every invite to actually back up his talk in an environment with spectators, I'll take the he field every day ending in "Y". But it would never happen, since he's demonstrated repeatedly that he won't compete. I know it's not me. Never went distinguished shooting service rifle, and some here have. I did win the "scuba squad" award at an event last year for wettest run in a monsoon type downpour. Hit the 500yd steel first shot, but couldn't see the 400yd target at all, and basically ended up middle of the pack. But there were obstacles and running, which helped a lot. Shooting targets at controlled ranges is far different than hitting [bleep] when [bleep] needs to be hit. Amen... ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/Af3PbAZl.jpg)

P For me & you maybe  But in all seriousness, I think the term long range is considered to be 600 - 1000 yards. They're saying extreme long range when passing a grand. Not sure when that ends, as many are shooting 2 grand & more these days, Is there a handle for that?

Most accomplished LR shooter in history, and it ain't even remotely close.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
