Thankfully AZPOST requires a 25 yd. shoot for the qualification. It's 25, 15, 7 & 3 yds. during the qual. My agency however does training with handguns at 50 yds yearly. That is a good thing because it teaches officers that they CAN hit the target at 1/2 of a football field with a pistol.

One year we shot the AZPOST qual from 50 yds. It was 50, 40, 30'ish & 25. To the shock of many they actually "qualified" with a score of 220 or better despite the long distances.

I routinely shoot from 25 yds. with my snubbies and full size autos just because I can. Everything under that becomes quite easy.

Likewise the rifle program qual starts at 100 yds. But, we do 200+ yard training too. God bless our range staff!
