  1. About 200 yards
  2. About half a mile
  3. Over 1 1/4 miles ✔

Why: Even a small .22 short bullet can carry well over a mile. That is why you must know what lies beyond your target. A small caliber is not a small danger zone.

Huh, didn't know that: The NSSF reminds shooters that no one can call a shot back once the gun fires.

The dad joke
Why did the bullet stay home? It did not want to go the extra mile.
