   I practiced handgun at nearly 100m in the desert - you can see by the   
   sand-splash on a far berm where the shots are landing - and was able   
   correct someone American that yes you could land six out of eight shots   
   on target at 30m if you kept in-practice with your firearms in various   
   scenarios.  (stating the obvious that's about visualising the elevation   
   you need for subsonic rounds at those ranges - which at 100m is quite a   
   lot of degrees - visibly pointed high above the horizon)

   I've won no-money bets that I could put holes in a soda can at 100 yards   
   with a pistol. The sound and jump is proof if you can't see it. At 75 yards   
   I could pick which end to hit. And I'm not nearly the best shot in the club.   
      
   These are sights for long range black powder target shooting at similar to   
   pistol velocities, though with much heavier bullets. Mine is marked for up   
   to 2.5 inches elevation for the medium ranges.
