Not exactly "aiming at the sky". Huh?
Yer preaching to the choir.Maybe you thought he was hunting with a WWII Liberator .45 acp single shot pistol? Probably not. As noted, that are NUMEROUS rounds that can be fired from a pistol that would not require any such silly sky aiming and be quite viable for hunting. Thompson Center makes several and there are several aftermarket barrels that would fit the build as well.
In other news...

I'm not sure how or why you picked my post to quote.

No, sir, I have not tried hunting with a pistol-caliber short-barrel handgun out to 200yrds. Some things in life do not require experience to know it's a bad idea. I do own - and enjoy shooting - several carbines in pistol calibers. I sight them in 1" high at 50yd and they do quite well out to 100yd. Beyond that, ballistics drop like a rock.
I will concede, however, since the make and model of firearm was not specified in the news articles, it is entirely possible that said "pistol" could have been a T/C Contender or an AR barreled in rifle caliber, in which case 200yd is easily within range.
Merry Xmas to you, too.It is not a bad idea if you know what you are doing.
Ballistics do not drop like a rock beyond 100 yards.
It doesn't take a rifle caliber to make 200 yards easily within range.
Until you try shooting 200 yards with a Glock/ 1911/ revolver/ etc. you should stop showing off your ignorance of the subject.
Just because you can't shoot doesn't mean nobody else can.
I looked up NY hunting regs. They require center fire cartridge, <6 rounds, <16” barrel, and a legal pistol. No caliber requirements.
PS, I’m not claiming to be an expert, but I’ve never seen a state disallow all pistol hunting. I’m not sure you are accurate.
