Re: What should my Target look like at 7 Yards?

Went to the range in Garland one time (after the election) and asked "You got any of those Obama Targets...er um...I meant Osama" guy behind the counter just chuckled.

Next time I go to the range, I'll bring a Camera and post some photos, hopefully I live up to everyone else!

Sadly 1 Bullet per every 2 seconds, darn range rules.
I heard if its slow you can ask them if you can shoot faster.

In reality, as long as you keep them mostly in an 8" pizza pan centered around your aiming point, you're fine for defensive purposes.

But at 7 yards, I can pretty much maintain a grapefruit-to-orange size with my 3" Kimber Ultra easily.
At 15, I can do the 8" pizza pan fine.
Okay I basically can cover all my holes with a closed fist. Is that about right?
I'm using a Browning Hi Power, its an old workhorse not really designed for anything fancy.
I'm also using Monarch Bullets (made in some former USSR country) Do you think any of these contribute to that?
Wheres a good place to learn shooting in Austin? I consider myself average but want to be better.
I never recieved proper training (Military Police ect) I just watched Videos online.

What should my Target look like at 7 Yards?

What should a Target I shoot look like at 7 Yards?
I mean, how Do I know if I'm any darn good?

Should I try shooting at 15 for awhile and then go back to 7?

(7 15 and I think 25-30 are all the ranges we have at the Local Range for pistols)
