What distance do you practice at the range?
Specifically say a 2" S&W Revolver, whats the best distance to practice at?
Or is it different for everyone? |

If on my own and so able to use any range and discipline, then carry piece or similar is mostly done at 5 to 7 yards. Sometimes with movement drills in as close as 3 yards. All pretty ''close-in'' stuff.
I do also practice carry type handgun practice out to 25 yards so I know where they are impacting.

Try some longer distances Say 15 yrds. Although, with a snubby I might keep 7 or 10 yrds for most of my practice.

I practice 7 to 15 yards most of the time.
I also practice both use left and right handed. |

With a pistol? Zero to 100 yards. 90% of my practice is inside of 10 yards.

Thanks for all the great feedback!
Glad to hear im in the ballpark. I took my snubby out for the first time today and kept the target at 20 feet. A gun this small definitely takes practice to get used to! |

I really don't spend much time trying to punch bullseyes. I carry a 3" Kimber ~ not designed for competition shooting ~ and my main focus is to hit COM within 3 to 15 yards.
