That is indeed very odd. In the early 1970's, the Royal Marine weapons instructor, Gillie Howe, had the brilliant idea of shooting the service Browning 9mm at 100, 200 and 300 yards. Having achieved waht he judged to be a reasonable degree of accuracy, he invited a few pals along to have ago.
They had so much fun that they founded the British Long-Range Pistol Shooting Association. The rest, as they say, is history.

We still shoot the long-range single-shot pistol and revolver here in UK, in spite of the difficulties involved. Anyone who wants to see what we currently shoot is invited to examine the website of the Southern Gun Company, or to give me a call on my e-mail and see my Ruger Super Redhawk or my pal John's SGC in .223Remington.

I was shooting my revolver last sunday. in fact. The thirty-shot group at 100m measures just over 2.5 inches, edge to edge, but is is only an otherwise standard revolver remember, albeit one with 12" bull barrel and a 2-7 Burris scope on top.
