as this was the first time i've shot this rifle, and the first shot with the new scope, it was aimed center mass of the target - note the high round top center. adjusted right and down, aiming at right hand target - 2nd shot at 12 on target. adjusted again and there you have it, 2 bullets, same hole. yay for new scopes and wifey letting me get it.

also shot the .40 cal and my co-worker's .45 pistol. the below was at 10 yards, 10 rounds .40 and 8 rounds .45

don't know where 3 rounds went, but hit it 15 times (top of bullseye is 2 hits same hole).

Have you thought about just getting a short smooth bore, and calling it good?

10 yards is actually quite far for most pistol engagements.

10 yards is actually quite far for most pistol engagements.

FBI and many others say anything within 21ft. (7 yards) is too close and should be shot! So, it makes sense to practice at closer distances and makes 10 yards a "long" shot with a pistol.

A shot at 10 yards isn't really that far... but if you have time... grab your shotgun!

I thought it was 25. No wonder I cant hit shite. Will try 10 next time.

It was 25 meters when I qualified.

ETA: But, the State Qualification Course is 7 meters .

At 25 yards you'd be better off running than shooting with a pistol.

Sure, you can hit at 25, but it's a pretty difficult shot, even on a target that's not moving.

Typical handgun courses are 7 yards, 10 yards, 15 yards and 25 yards. (Meters are sometimes substituted on "offical" courses.)

Typical handgun engagements are more like 6 feet. (And usually include several misses!)
