Would it be a waste of ammo to...

It's not that far, really. The round will hit and hit accurately at that distance, if you do your part.

Ya that. 100 yards with a handgun? No problem if you're up to it. Offhand I'm not but give me a rest and my 4" .357 will consistantly bust clays out there. Not even that hard.
 
Probably a waste of ammo, but that's not a reason to not do it. If you're having a good time ... then it's never a waste of ammo. If I had a 100m (yards) I'd have a go at it.
 
I shoot 100 yards quite often pie plate size groups off hand are the norm. I want to get a 10" gong to play with the snubbies.

Would it be a waste of ammo to...
... pitch up at the 100m range with a 4" Redhawk with open sights?

The question is would I miss them all. Would it be an exercise in futility?

I had the opportunity to shoot at a Pepper Popper at 100 yards once when I was at Gunsite. I missed my first shot but hit 6 of the next 7 with a 1911 .45 ACP in the prone position. I observed 5 other shooters in my class do about the same with their .45 ACP handguns too.

Generally, the guns are capable but it is the shooter that is the determining factor whether the shot is a hit or amiss. Should be the same with you.

Precisely what I'm worried about!! ;)

If I make up a bunch of cartridges, I'll give it a go, next time I'm there. Out of curiosity if nothing else, and at least others have done it, so it is not beyond the realms of possibility...
