What your furthest pistol shot?

Shot a ruffed grouse right through the eye at just over 30 yards with a heavy barrel Ruger MKII 22LR pistol.
It was standing in a patch of dogwood switches motionless waiting for me to walk by.
The gun had a 2 3/4X pistol scope mounted on it.
I really surprised myself that day.
I prefer hunting grouse with a 22 because I had the unpleasant experience of splitting a molar on lead shot while eating a meal of duck and don't want to repeat it.

* before the CFO or RCMP forum monitors start sweeping the net for my IP address for the no knock visit I should mention that I was in Aristook County, Maine, US of A when I made that shot.
 
I dunno about far, but if you are taking lucky shots too, when I was a kid, a friend and I use to go plinking down the street in the sand pit with CO2 pellet guns. Another kid we didn't like much came by and was all impressed we could shoot out bottle caps at 10 yards or so. So being a cocky little sh1t as I was, I brag that I can even hit a quarter, thrown in the air, a la Lucky Luke. And wadayaknow, the little prick takes a quarter out his pocket and says "lets see it then!" . Well, I know I have no chance in hell of hitting it but I could not back down now! So I agree and he throws the thing 20 feet in the air. PING . What... the... now you can imagine my friend is looking at me mouth hanging open as I'm standing there, trying to pretend nothing interesting happened. I think I was 12 or 13 years old. Best god damn summer of my life.

Haha!! Woohoo!!!

This needs to be a scene in a movie! Something like the movie "Stand By Me"
