[QUOTE="marksman1941, post: 2925697, member: 68542"] I shoot 3 gun competition and the guys who join from USPSA (pistol only) really struggle with long range rifle. Usually field positions of various sorts with a low power optic on an ar15. Not long range rigs but certainly capable, if hampered a bit by the 1-4 or 1-6 optics favored by the competitors. Those of us who grew up on rifles can fairly reliably smack 18”x24” plates from 150 to 550 yards as long as we’re not rushing it, although those little 55gr fmj's do move a fair bit from wind at 550. The pistol guys, however, struggle mightily with longer range rifle. They don't have the same mechanics for rifle, they tend to rush shots, and when they miss a few times they always speed up as though accuracy by volume is their intent. For up close offhand shooting, the pistoleros can run an ar15 just as quick as any of the rifle guys. But they seem to fall apart when you make them slow down a hair and focus on stuff past 100.
