[QUOTE="gerhard1, post: 2952396, member: 5391"] That is very good. For people who are not all that experienced with guns, the longer distances merely serves to discourage them. I started shooting in the early-to-mid 1970's at the Seattle Police range and they would only permit civilians to use the target range at 25 and fifty yards. Needless to say, I did not do well at that distance, but for a long time they would not let me use the police-only part of the range. When I finally prevailed upon them to let me use the combat range, I did a lot better. Why? There are a couple of reasons for this. One was the generally shorter distances involved and also 'combat' shooting is more fun. Much of my shooting is done drawing from concealment and at very close range (3-5 yards) and a lot of it is done while moving laterally as well. It helps of course to own my own range where I set the rules. So there you have my answer. [/QUOTE]
