When I got my nra instructor certification I had to sit in on a basic pistol class. The shooting “qualification” was I believe at 7 feet. Yes feet. It amazed me how folks who just sat through almost 8 hours of classroom time couldn’t shoot a 22 pistol hitting anywhere on the target or even a standard piece of paper at that distance. That’s when I vowed to myself that even if I teach one of those stupid ass classes we are modifying it for hands on time.
