I have been practicing every day at 18 - 20 yards, sitting, kneeling, standing.

My huntin buddy and I go to our outdoor range twice a week and (because there are few people who use the range regular) we try shots through various discovered lanes at the next target. It helps with ranging targets and demonstrates what we are ready for.

After our 28 target practice round we shoot 50, 45, and 40 yards from different positions until we are either tired or thirsty (beer). We try to exclusively shoot the longer distances after every round as this greatly improves our lesser distance shots and grouping.

I have gone out alone and have shot 2 to 3 hundred shots at the longer distances and have found that a twenty yard target becomes a much easier target to shoot at and from the various angles and positions I am capable of creating.

The longer shots help me to quicken (as in set in muscle memory) my sight picture, draw and hold/anchor, release and follow through. Any bad habits that I have are readily discovered and I am capable of correcting them.
