Target style and range distance

[bumpbailey]

I am new to shooting and want to know how far I should send the target; 7 yards? 10 yards? (I use standard paper size 8.5X11 sheets) for a .22 and a 9mm.

Also, what type of target is best. I have been using the full-sheet circular target with a red center, but I have seen sheets with 4 triangles on them and ones with rows of dots.

Thanks!

Start with targets hung closely, and when you are getting consistent hits, move the targets further back.

Then, when you have that mastered, shoot with your other hand, one-handed.

25 ft.. start

Use this one if your having trouble..http://www.reloadbench.com/pdf/files/TargetRightHanded.pdf

or just pick one from here and keep shooting, your bound to get better if you keep sending lead down range. http://www.reloadbench.com/pdf.html
