The trick is to balance speed and precision.

True. The precision benchmarks I listed are a mixture of time constraints. For example, there are no time constraints (ie, speed is not an issue) for Ransom rest shooting or for NRA Marksman qualification. On the other hand, slow speed works against you in IDPA. My 34-moa average performance and 20-moa goal are based on slow-fire.
Because I would be under pressures of time criticality and fear, and the target would almost certainly be moving in a real-world scenario, I want to hold myself to more strenuous precision goals at the range where pressures are absent.

Personally, I think that getting three or four shots into an area the size of the top of a standard full length tissue box in one second at three to five yards is very good indeed.

Your Kleenex boxtop is about 15% smaller in area than the IDPA -0 thoracic "bullseye." Not too different (although your target of choice is much more narrow), so your goal should get the job done. At 5 yd the 8-in diameter -0 is a 153-moa target.
