If for personal defense start at 7 yds with a B-27 target. It's kinda a head, shoulders, torso type target. If your groups aren't that good move it to 3-5 yds until you are consistently shooting tight groups (don't worry about whee the groups are at this time. After you ar eshooting tight groups, move the target back to 7 yds or so. Onc you are getting tight groups then you work on shot placement which is sight alignment, grip, trigger pull, etc. If you know someone that is an experienced shooter, enlist their help as a coach to watch you as you shoot to see what you are doing correctly and incorrectly.
