only with .357,
back when I was in AZ.

If I could put all 6 on a B27 target at 75 feet,
I called it ok.

what is considered a good group size at 75 feet with a 4 inch pistol?

I think it was Jerry Miculek who said there are only big targets and little targets.

I put in at least some practice with little targets. It might be steel plates at 50 yards or a tiny sliver of paint at 7 yards but either way, it makes me slow down and concentrate on trigger press and fundamentals.

Of course I can shoot faster at bigger targets.

I think it's all part of having a well rounded handgun skill set.

I also put in some practice, strong hand and weak hand only. For the same reason as distance shooting; trying to build a well rounded skill set.

Plus, working on different stuff keeps it fun.

I like shooting at 50+ yards, with handguns. I have not done so, since, well, maybe the early Nineties. The places I used to shoot handguns, in an unstructured way, have disappeared.

“The Past is another country...” to borrow words from Col. Jeff Cooper.

I envy those who live in western states, with with wide-open public lands that allow shooting.

There is self defense and hunting shooting. 25 yards and 50 years respectively. Optic made a big difference to me.

When going for pure accuracy, off a rest, I enjoy punching groups beyond 25 yds (any shorter distance is sorta like 'meh, why bother?'). It's sort of a 'Zen' thing...when lucky, I can tune out everything else going on in 'the rest of the world' and spend a couple hours trying to make the smallest patch of holes in paper. Unfortunately, those opportunities have been few and far between the past few years.

.357 Sig @ 100 yds = good times.

$.02 worth.

yes / 50ft & 25yds / accuracy - because of (indoor) bullseye, and at 25yds when zeroing sights on any pistol

We have a 50' indoor range. I regularly hang an IDPA target and practice the 5x5 at that distance (~17yds instead of 10yds).

I hang an 8" NRA instructor target at 50' to finish a training session with my defensive pistols. I have the other instructors doing it regularly, too, with their carry guns not just full-sized, and one-handed and weak-handed as well.

I shoot 50yds for bullseye occasionally, and fairly often to double-check my 25yd zero work on other pistols. I also occasionally shoot clay birds off hand and off sandbag at 65yds with my P226, putting them on the backstop berm of our outdoor range. We don't have steel at my club, so this is my alternative. I've done this before, but moreso after MOAC 2017.

My range I have steel set at 7 out to 200 and practice at all the distance in between. I shoot 9 and 45 from Glocks and 1911’s and anything that I have at hand. I don’t shoot at paper. The steel at 100 yards is 4” up to 12” gongs that I regularly hit. The 125–130–150 and 200 gongs are torso size plates they have become the goal to hit more frequently.
I don’t go for speed or tight groups. That is pointless to me with a pistol at those ranges.
