Lately at the range (a pay range not a club) I hear people talking about how well they shoot. I see their target and see them shooting from 20-30 feet and they are all over the place. Now I don't consider myself a great shot, I'm OK, and I've put in a lot of practice over the decades, I'll even admit my groups have grown a bit as I get older. But what the $#% are these people shooting at. And where are they getting that keeping 15 round on the paper is "good". It's a little scary.
Mind you, I never say anything. Not my place.
OK I did say something to the SO once when an "expert" was showing his friend how to shoot and had him wrap his offhand thumb around the back of the pistol. MY comment to the SO was "You might want to have you first aid kit hand"
But back on topic. What would you call a good group for handgun at 20-30'. Basic carry stuff, no fancy optics. The kind of fire rate you might have in a self-defence situation.
I won't even start on the guys who can't keep an AR in the black at 30'
