Dunno if long range handgun is an art form but it is a different mindset. One of the things that helped me when I first got started was realizing that bullets are stupid, they have no idea if they exited a rifle or a handgun. They only know bullet weight, rifling twist and how much energy was applied to their backside. The rest is up to you, grip, sight picture, grip, trigger control, grip. Did I mention how critical a completely consistent grip is?
For the ballistics the bullet doesn't know or care what launched it and it doesn't matter. Enough bullet weight and velocity with a good load and shooting technique and the bullet will go where you pointed it whether that's at 20 yards or 200 yards. Having taught many to shoot long range the toughest thing to overcome is their mindset that . . . This is a handgun (or worse, a revolver) and this is impossible because handguns can't do that. Put that silliness to rest and that revolver will amaze you for what it can do. Just as soon as you get your mind right and stop insulting the poor revolver.
