    Pistol shooting practice is typically done at no more than 25 yards, while hunting rifles can more comfortably do a longer range. Sure, you can hit with a pistol at similar ranges (especially with a larger caliber as you propose) but rifles are better for controlling the recoil and typically more accurate. If the goal is to actually hit, and in particular kill painlessly, a rifle is the better tool.

      I think the farthest shot I have had was maybe 35 yards.

      You basically find a good trail and put up a blind or stand near it.

      We have to cut our own firing lanes so short distances are much preferred. Lol
