This is kind of an oddball question:
From time to time I meet up with my son to shoot at an outdoor range near Lakeland FL. He generally brings his rifles, and I bring my pistols. I watch him shoot on the rifle range (100 yards I think), then we go over to the pistol range for a while (max 25).
We got to talking, and I somewhat jokingly suggested I bring my Glock 34 and shoot it on the Rifle range.
But afterwards, I thought, well, that would be an interesting thing to do. I have zip for rifle experience, so thought I would come and ask some dumb questions.
Obviously the bullet from a pistol is going much, much slower than a rifle. It's also going to drop considerably after 100 yards, right? Would it be a non-starter to shoot a pistol to 100 yards, i.e. is it just not going to worth the effort due to trajectory, or round to round variation due to wind/gravity?
The stations at the rifle range have bench rests available. So in my case, I'd be resting the muzzle of the G34. Plus I have an optic, a HS 507c. Any thoughts as to the hold I'd have to use to hit a 100 yd target?
How about ammo? I have anything from 115/124 AE FMJ, 115 Gold Dots, 147 HST, and 124+p Gold Dots. I was thinking the 124+p's would be zippy, and being SD ammo, consistently loaded in terms of powder?
Anything else in the "don't know what I don't know" category?
TIA...
