There's been quite a discussion lately about the distance you should shoot while on the range practicing. Here's one of the answers that I've found most helpful as I researched this topic.
“.
. . A group that can be covered by a quarter at 11 feet will spread
out, but still be under 2″ at 21 feet and just over 6″ at 25 yards. In
other words, the exact distance
doesn’t matter all that much at the distances where people are most
likely to need to use a firearm in self defense. A bad group will be
a bad group at 5, 11, or 21 feet and a ragged one-hole group will be a
ragged one-hole group at 5, 11, or 21 feet. This principal is why,
again, depending on the study, 85% of rounds fired by officers within 21 feet completely miss their target – the distance just doesn’t matter as much as solid shooting fundamentals.”
I hope this helps you as you continually maintain and hone your shooting skills.
