Most of my handgun shooting is done from 15 yards or less at an outdoor range. Most people shoot from 5 to 10 yards there, so I will shoot from those distances mostly. I shoot steels at 15 yards which is a range requirement, and a common sense thing. A couple of guys though they could get away with shooting them at 10 yards, and wound up with some bullet jackets peppering thier legs. It is about like having someone flip a lit cigarette on you.
