50 yards with iron sites and no support. One thing I do with a 5 LB + gun and 7.5" barrel, I hold the gun upright with elbows at 90 degrees. Then I slowly start bringing the gun down and when I get to locked elbows and on target, I squeeze the trigger. Holding the gun straight out and steady without support is difficult. I can do it but the target will look like a shot gun was used.50 yards or 50 feet!? Scoped or irons? I'm a good shot, but there's no way in hell I can do that at 150 feet with iron sights and no support. I can maybe do that at 50 feet on a good day.
No tried bow hunting once and if I was first nation the blood line would have stopped with me.Do you own a compound bow? A compound bow will develop arm, back, and shoulder muscles you never knew you had.

NOT COCKED!!! You It is a single action finger off trigger and hammer back when on target squeeze trigger. So what?So you start with a loaded and cocked 500 S&W magnum BFR aimed straight up? what range was this?
Do you finish with the barrel pointing straight up too?50 yards with iron sites and no support. One thing I do with a 5 LB + gun and 7.5" barrel, I hold the gun upright with elbows at 90 degrees.

Front deltoid raises would be better for holding a gun out in front of you.Do you own a compound bow? A compound bow will develop arm, back, and shoulder muscles you never knew you had.
YupDo you finish with the barrel pointing straight up too?
No, but it is all about the squeeze.Are you a competition bullseye shooter?
I'm a good enough shot - that's 6 shots with a 44 Mag at 25 feet. I'm not sure how much that group would spread at 150 though.No, but it is all about the squeeze.
Full house loads, I'd be at about 9:30 pointed at the guys head behind me. I don't shoot a 500S&W for a reason...Do you finish with the barrel pointing straight up too?
I shot many a round of .44 Mag (I carried one hunting so I practiced). That group is fine for slow sighting. Try it next time double action fast as you can. I had some spectators asking why I put myself through the punishment. I told them I wanted to get all five shots off before that bear fell on me.I'm a good enough shot - that's 6 shots with a 44 Mag at 25 feet.
