What distance do you target shoot at? - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

*** PISTOLS ONLY -- NO RIFLES ***

*** NO OPTICS -- SIGHTS ONLY ***

*** STANDING SLOW FIRE -- NO BENCH REST ***

PLEASE REPLY WITH:
1) Gun used (and barrel length)
2) Caliber
3) Distance
4) Average group size

I am looking for slow fire tight groups, not self-defense exercises.

I would like to compare mine to what would be considered average or better than average.

This is not a "man size" competition. Please don't lie. You gain nothing but upset the numbers.

1) Springfield 1911-A1 Loaded Target
2) 45ACP
3) 21 feet
4) 1.5" best (2" average)

Is this good or bad?

What would be a good 25 YARD group size?

wbyrd · 07-08-2008, 10:22 AM

1) XD40
2) .40S&W
3) 21 feet
4) Usually average 4" 50 round groups

For those that are posting 21 YARDS, what is your group size?

LUVMYSIGP225 · 07-08-2008, 10:50 AM

21 Feet. 9mm or .45ACP.

This is my target from this weekend. The "flyers" are my 8 year old son, shooting the same gun(and I am proud of him for hitting the target at all with a heavy 9mm Stainless gun)

I shoot 21' for Defensive pistol Drills. 4" .40S&W, Groups are 3-4" I don't believe their is to much need for long range pistol craft. That is why I have rifles.
