Max distance at our indoor range is electronically adjustable from 5 yards to 25 yards, and increments can be set in feet, meters, yards....so best for me is the FBI full silhouette with red X center at 50 feet. Beyond that with these old eyes I am all over the paper with my 25-2 in .45 acp. (still in the black, but I'm grazing elbows on the bad guy, or unintended head shots).

Best fun indoors is my youngest daughter, a North Carolina LEO with her Glock 21, Gen 4 in .45 acp in one lane, me with the 25-2 in the adjacent lane (3 full moon clips) and targets out at 50 feet. It is no longer embarrassing to be out-gunned by a 28 year old female as I realize her life depends on her speed and accuracy...so while I can keep a "respectable" 6" to 8" group of 12 rounds....when we each push that "home" button, there ain't much left of her X zone with 39 shots (2 mag reloads). Of course mine is standing off-hand and she is "holster qualified" so already in proper stance and balance and the RSO likes to try to rattle her with "present" followed by "threat" or sometimes no follow command and she eats it up too.

Outdoors? for me, can't beat 200 yards with the old 1943 03-A3, or the M1 Garand, for the younger kids, plinking at 10 to 15 yards with M34 .22, spinners at 15 yards with the 15-3 .38, then at dusk the 637-2 in 38+P at any distance, just to watch the fireball fan out from every shot!

Bottom Line? Don't really much care about the distance, the gun, indoors or out......worst day shooting is way better than best day at work.
