      200 yards would be a pretty normal deer hunting shot, remember that people use scopes. Something actually impressive would be more like a mile. (1760 yards)

      Literally every veteran could make that shot with iron sights. We had to qualify on 200 yard targets. With a scope, you could probably include every hunter in the US as well. 200 yards isn’t a long shot.

      Oh yeah, and every single Girlscout or Bouscout that has their archery badge, or their shooting badge, not marksman that’s a different badge, would be able to make that shot.
