I went to join my local rifle club, told them i have my own .177 air rifle and hunt, they where ok with that but kept asking if i was interested in live firing rifles, told them not really and they started being a bit off handed, then tried their 10metre rifle range with their diopter site target rifle, fired the allowed 7 shots and they where surprised i was a better shot than their best target shooter, told them if i couldnt shoot a target at 10metres and hit it perfectly every time i wouldnt hunt, I was asked what distances i shoot out to and when i told them i shot out to 50metres they thought i was joking and then said i must pay £6 every time i came for 6months (bearing in mind you have to go atleast twice a week to prove you are serious about the commitment), if you are liked and they want you in the club only then they will let you pay £120 for the year!
If I couldn't hit regulary at 300 yards (about 278 meters) I wouldn't hunt!
Target shooters (National Match) have an even harder standard: 300 yards (as stated, about 278 meters) is "short" range, 600 yards (about 556 meters) is "medium" range, and 100 yards (about 923 meters) is "long" range. All shot with open sights for competition.
