How in the hell?</div></div>
I'm estimating 2.5 to 3x front sight "widths" above the notch and a very supported position.
When I had a Model 10 .38, I got bored with getting hits on a silhouette at 100 yards. That required only a neck/head hold, regular sight picture.
Not my farthest, but the one that got me started on believing what *I* could do with the right tools:
Old hubcap, 75 paced yards and hung on the caliche wall of the old gravel pit we were in, 4-inch Model 19 with Speer 146-grain JSWCHPs and a full-power load of the old WW295.
One-handed, single action.
Knocked it down on the first shot. Went forward and found the hit was inside a 6-inch "ring" in the hubcap's 1960s Detroit design.
Made quite an impression on my 14-year old mind. Or was I 15? I *was* a punk back then, that much is for sure.
I'll have to think about it for rifle. Or set up a milk jug or 2-liter jug this Saturday...
