long range shooting

Ok so I went to the desert in socal last weekend to shoot my guns with a good buddy of mine from oklahoma. Well we stretched out the rifles to about 800 yards managed some 6" groups. Then I wanted my buddy to shoot my new pistol a glock 22c .40 S&W. Well I know he is a good shot, and being as we were in the desert we decided to do some long range pistol shooting with my glock semi. I range 50 yards and shoot 10 rounds at a pop can, hit it probably 5 times. My buddy proceeds to get my gun, range 100 yards and hits the pop can 8 out of 10 times!!!! I go and shoot 10 rounds at 100 yards and managed to hit a can once. I was figuring about 6 inches of drop at 100 yards with my pistol, anyone know what the drop would be on a .40 S&W? My buddy shoots like 1 hole groups at 25 yds with little semis. His philosophy? He grips the **** out of the gun?

How can he even see a pop can at a 100 yards? He must be the Superman of shooters.:rolleyes:

Next time he comes to Vegas, I'll pick him up at the airport for a free ride to the hotel to drop off his luggage before we hit the range off the Strip.

If he shoot's that good at 50 yards at my indoor rifle range with my handguns, the ammo is on me, but if he doesn't, the ammo is on him, and I have some really good shooting guns.

We can video it, and I'll even sign at affidavit of proof.
 
Maintaining a consistent grip is a very fairly big deal to me. I gave away a brand new XD 45 because my grip shifted every shot. No amount of hard gripping mattered. Suppose I could have got a rubber grip sleeve but I was disgusted and it happened to coincide with my youngest kid's 18th birthday.

That said there is a lot more to that kind of shooting than grip control.
 
At 100 yds, a really tight-shooting Glock might produce a 10" group. Hitting a pop can even half the time requires a lot of luck.
