One shot, at a live animal.

Actually hit and killed your prey?

Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

The longest shot I've ever killed an animal at was about 175 yards.

I took a whitetail and still have his skull on my wall.

1 shot with a .308.

Nothing to brag about with a rifle.  However...
32 yards (paces). 20 gauge, 3/4 oz #7.  Took a red squirrel who was silly enough to peek over a limb and make sure that he'd lost me.  He hadn't.  Monroe, Louisiana.

Shot a prairie dog from about 500 in eastern Montana.  His friend was standing right next to him, but bailed into the hole when I got his pal.  I guess I was more patient than prairie dog #2, because the crosshairs were still dialed in on his hole when he came back up to assess the scene...  Got him, too.

Not me personally, but my good friend and cousin took his deer this year with a one-shot kill at 787 yards, confirmed by rangefinder.  His antelope succumbed to a single shot from 812!  :o
