My longest kill was a rabbit at 178 yards with my FX Boss. My longest "try" was 286 yards at a 2" target with Mike Bricker's (Centercut) .25 Panthera. Missed by the WIDTH of a pellet! Still, one minute of squirrel head

About 48 years ago, using a Feinwerkbau 124d with a receiver sight, a crow about 60 yards out in a tree over my father in law's garden.

If that is the shot where you took the boat out I think I remember the video lol .( Impressive to say the least ) I am impressed Sir .About 850 meters at baloon with Vulcan3 .25 and Altaros slugs.
-------------------------------------------
As for me I usually do nothing beyond 75 yards at targets and objects . Hunting and pesting always 50 yards and under for me or they get a pass lol . The larger the critter the closer I want to be to it lol . If I shoot past 75 yards I would use a PB . Just my preference

I’ve hit targets with ease out to 115 yards. Recently tried shooting at 200 yards, definitely out of my league, will try again sometime.

Same here except a Vulcan 3. Broad side of a Buffalo. Group is about 11" vertical. 12 for 12 if I count the tip of the wiener

100 yards with a big 5 break barrel. I hit the hill it was my target. Jokes aside 45 yards max on anything I own for hunting. The guns are capable but I’m not wounding animals

I will occasionally take an airgun to the shooting range and do some 100yd shooting. The long range airgun shooting has just never been a high priority for me. I tend to prefer powder burners for that.
Longest airgun kill shot was a grey squirrel at 75yds with my Cricket in 25. It was completely impromptu while I was bench shooting in my yard. He popped up on a big log at the back of my neighbor's property and hung out there too long. I got up from the bench and rested on top of my Weber grill to take the shot. More to see if I could do it than anything else. Clean kill. I was impressed.
But even the longer range pesting/hunting just doesn't do it for me. I setup a feeder last year at 60yds in my backyard and would sit on my deck and pop greys with my Panthera shooting slugs. The audible "thwack" of those heavy hollow points was always impressive, and anchored them instantly. But that too just didn't hold my interest. I much prefer woods walking or close-in hunting/pesting at 15-25yds or so. Just more enjoyable for me.

115-120 yards on a red squirrel with an Rws Air King springer. It took a few shots to figure out the correct hold-over.

103ish yard hit on Starlings multiple times. I haves done that with an AirForce Condor SS in .25 and after selling it with my Impact M3 in .25. Similar distances but not ranged on multiple ground squirrels all with my Impact. I have hit a number of squirrels in the 70ish yard range with my Edgun Leshiy 2.
