Extreme Distance Austrian Pistol Shooter Joseph Schulhof & writers @ the time(1890s) credit Vereinsbüchsenmacher Franz Denk along with Büchsenmachers Dörfler, Kretschmer, Postler &
Wurzinger in breaking the old stigma that Sporting Pistols are only for 25-30 paces. With a Mauser Pistol Joseph Schulhof was adept to distances out to 600 paces and was quite accurate @ 400 paces. That's the reason that Vereinsbüchsenmacher Franz Denk time & time again advertises as a Specialist for Pistols @ 200 paces to 300 paces. Again, I am not sure of just how many mechanics Vereinsbüchsenmacher Franz Denk had under his umbrella, but has the go-to for Extreme Distance Sporting Weapons. As always, every word in an advert has a specific reason and must be scrutinized.
This realization brings on another task of tracking down Büchsenmachers Dörfler, Kretschmer, Postler &
Wurzinger.
