And here is a 500 yard shot with a 22lr pistol...with iron sights.

This one I'm pretty sure they just showed the one he actually made the shot.

I just wish I could see a target at a 1000 yards much less hit it with as handgun.

Yes, it's all geometry skills. They calculated "offline" everything that they needed to do to hit that target. It's similar to how the stunt drivers/motorcycle riders have to calculate everything for their world record jumps. They know the exact speed they have to leave the jumps at in order to make the jump. Similarly, he knows the muzzle velocity, the bullet drop rate and all that. It's just simple physics.

He even says in the video (towards the end) that he setup his red dot to take all that into account, so he just had to put the dot on the target.

Still a good shot, but the majority of the work was setting up the gun. Give that same gun to a competent shooter (the one he shot, all properly setup for 1000 yards) and I bet they could hit it too. These kinds of "trick" shots don't impress me much...but his fast (and accurate) shooting is a totally different story for me. Those I'm definitely impressed with.

ETA: And he does a great job of selling too...I'll admit that I looked up that gun after seeing this video (too rich for my blood though).
