So what proof do you have that this actually happened as you posted it? It may have been exaggerated greatly over the last 500 years.
I practice to 60 meters regularly, and occasionally to 70 meters, but I have no intention of taking a shot longer than 40 meters on a game animal, and even then, the conditions would have to be ideal. If I had been sitting in the cold for a couple of hours, I might not feel comfortable shooting past 30 meters.
