[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 336317, member: 1963"] People tend to fire into the air without realizing that the round is going to come back down somewhere. I am not real up on rifles except the older military ones, but modern semi-automatic high caliber handguns can send a round nearly as far as some weaker rifles can, though not with any accuracy. husband did 'running boar' and combat handgunning competitions with both a Sig-Sauer and a Glock handgun and both of them could hit a target accurately at 250-500 feet. Beyond that, trajectory catches up with the round and drops it considerably. Aiming for those distances is sort of an art and husband used a pistol scope in those competitions. [/QUOTE]
