“Same goes for an accurate handgun and beer cans at 100 yards.”
I can hit a 2 liter bottle at 120 yards with my Kimber 1911. Of course I can drink a cup of coffee by the time the bullet gets there. LOL

My first really accurate pistol was a Colt Woodsman. I traded in an H&R 49er at Jimmy’s Pawn in Ft. Walton Bch. The owner who everyone called “Jick” was easy to deal with.
I would line up empty 12 gauge shotgun shells at maybe 70 yards. Using my car for a rest, I could hit them about as often as not. I could not do better with a rifle.
I made the mistake of challenging Daddy to a shootout, me with the Colt and him with his Marlin model 99. I was always the best shot in my group of friends but Daddy was something else.
He always embarrassed me. Now that I think about it, he was maybe the best off hand shot I ever knew. He was a combat veteran of WWII and of course had the “expert” with a rifle medal. I bet he could have scored “super expert” if there was such a thing.
