Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Whatever distance the IDPA stage is at, or 10yds off hand when testing a new load. I can't hit whatever I'm shooting no matter the distance if I'm shooting around HBAR for some reason.

So my 7-10 yard is where I should be for practicing. I heard most gunfights happen between that range, I am not a total noob lol. Was 12 year medic with the Army, two deployments just never really used my good ol M9, for some strange reason felt better with the M4 ��
The standard description used to describe self defense gun fights is 3 rounds at 3 yards in 3 seconds from the ready position. Obviously, no one knows where you will be and what the circumstances would be if, God forbid you find yourself actually using your firearm.
When the weather is nice, and you have someone to act as a safety, it can be fun to try some unusual shooting positions. Left side, right side from the ground. From your back, feet toward the target, but make sure your feet are spread and toes out
I'll start as low as 5yds on occasion and rarely go past 13yds. 8-11 is sort of where I like to stick.
Obviously not a golfer.
I never shoot. I just talk about shooting and hope all of you will think that I will be the next star of magpul shooting videos
Guys with Beards don't need to go to the range.
Handgun - 7, 10, 15, 20, 25 yards. I'm working my way out.
Rifle I like a 200 yard zero with ARs and 30 caliber rifles.
Depending on the drills, arms length to 7 yards (3' to 21' +/-) and sometimes two targets at different distances. For fun I will shoot at reactive targets out to 50+ yards with any of my handguns.

Seriously, anywhere from 3 to 200 with a handgun (not that I'm a ringer at that distance). For testing handloads, or generally seeing what a gun is capable of doing, 20-25 yards. Less than that and you aren't really learning anything about the load / gun.
