IIRC, back in the 70's, we shot 7, 15, 25 and 50 yards. 7 was the only 'off hand' shooting. The rest were right and left barricade, kneeling and prone.
In the Corrections Branch(1980's to 1996), we used 5, 15 and 25 yards. 5 yards was shot hip high, with the drawing hand only, instinctively of course,
concentrating on the very centre of the 10 ring, visualizing a button. I also taught my guys to shoot the 15 yard target, instinctively, gun no higher
than the shoulders - all DA. With a bit of practice, most kept them kept 80% inside the walls of the 10 ring with the "flyers"
solid 9s. A few of them could 'usually' shoot 9's and better at 25 yards. Just for fun, Big Ron did this instinctively with his 8 3/8" model 29 with 240SWC and 22gr. 2400.
We used 6" Model 10's - fixed sights. 158gr. +P Federal ammo.
Yeah house league PPC only wants to do. 3, 7, 10, 15. And 3Y has left and right hand only shooting. We do kneeling, prone, sitting, left hand supported. But it's getting boring. No offense to older people. But we got one that complains and drives people away. Because we used to do 5, 10, 15, 20Y. He doesn't want to do longer stages because might ruin his high scores. We used to have 10-12 people show up regular. Now lucky to get 3. And I stopped going every week, due to this old guy and the fact nobody helps setting up/tear down.
They haven't did barricades since the day I went in to watch. Next week, they stopped
But I was happy to do an official match. I got a club closer that I can practice the 25, 50M.
So I'm working on making my CZ trigger heavier for next year.
I did try a revolver, I didn't shoot it bad. Just super slow on the reloads. Tried one with moonclips and they were faster. But had issues with sticky cylinders.
