Just watched Iraqvet8888 video on long range pen for a .45ACP.
Now, I'm not sure why Erik didn't simply hold front sight over the back when shooting 100 and 200 yards with the pistol and thus keep the target above his sights.

He chose not to and this is why, I am sure, he had trouble hitting the 200yard board. He was attempting to hold over the board instead of holding on it and simply dropping his rear sight. Once practiced, it makes is a much easier method for longer range handgun and open fixed sight rifle shooting.

Elmer explained this 'style' back in the 60's, continuing into the 70's and indeed, this is how we shoot long range with open sighted handguns and our muzzleloaders. It works a treat. Try it.

He did just fine and could certainly keep a guy ducking at 200 with a handgun and 440 with the little .45ACP carbine(I like that one), once they got the wind and elevation figured out.
I found with my own .45 1911, just the height of the Wilson front sight blade over the rear, gave me a good 200yard zero with hardball ammo.

Hopefully this is not taken as a "negative" report. Eric did just fine and a lot better than many handgun shooters can show. My hat's off to him and wish him the best in his ongoing business.

His testing is out of common with most of it and valuable info for us. Like his vid, if you did, and subscribe as I have done.
