Most amazing "long-range" shot I ever saw - my little brother hit a man-sized silhouette at 100 yds, with a Kel-Tec .380.

That's good shooting, with that gun.

Another thing I want to try-unlikely I'll ever get the chance-is to shoot as if I was qualifying with an M16, on a military range, with my M1.

1600m w/ M2 but was cheating with a CROWS system. 600m with my M4/Eotech, standing - Military. As a Civ, 800 yards with my SPR-ish rifle w/ 77g handloads. I need to get something larger. Maybe time to dabble in .308's.

Hit a man size target at 1400 yards yesterday three time in a row with a 10 MPH, full value wind.

Of course, the owner of the very expensive rifle I was shooting had just spent an hour dialing it in so I really do much work.

Still, it was pretty satisfying.

Further than most. I shoot out at Black Rock Playa on a regular basis.

Want to see how far a 22 will go?

Wish I knew.

I shot at a cave and a few rocks in Afghanistan with a Barret .50 (for fun). It went far, and took a long time for the sound of the impacts to travel back to me.

I flew mail out to the USS Iowa in 1986 off the coast of Honduras. While we were there we shut down and stayed for a gunnery exercise. Main guns were reaching out like 20 miles if I remember correctly. Thats some long range shooting

Not Military, just some dude:
650 meters - standard AR carbine (M4orgery).
1000 yards - .308 bolt gun
1200 meters - .50 Barrett

Almost all of that was on a coworker's ranch in Texas. Around home the farthest I typically shoot is 300 yards.

300yards. Range is currently building a 400 yard line with plans to open. It all the way to 1000yards. Not that I would be able to hit anything that far, but given the opportunity I wouldn't mind learning.

When I was 19, I did a guy in Laos from a thousand yards out. It was a rifle shot in high wind. Maybe eight or even ten guys in the world could have made that shot. It's the only thing I was ever good at.

300 on pop-ups in the service m-16A2

800 was MUCH easier

Ground hogs at around 300 yards. I've shot longer distances but not really well. A lot of that is the fact I've never had a legitimate 600 yard rifle. That window of accuracy gets mighty small the farther out you place it.

+/- 700 yards, civ, at my Uncle's goat ranch in TX. shot a small mesquite bush at the base while sighting in his rifle.

Pure luck,no skill.

2000m at Ft Drum as a civilian for Barrett using experimental Winchester 50 BMG ammo out of the XM107 for some Pentagon types when the XM107 was first getting accepted.

A couple of months ago I shot a prairie dog at between 325 to 350 yards. I have hit steel at over 600 yards, but my prairie dog hit was much more gratifying.

700 as a kid. We made a steel target that hanged from a frame and the aiming point was actually on the frame. Used a 22 to bang the gong.
