Why in the world would he be doing self defense drills at 75 feet? It
doesn't make sense.


That is just target shooting at that point. I know hunters who train
at those kind of distances and even out to 50 or 75 yards. It will be
a large bore pistol tho.
The military typically shoots at 25 yards (I assume meters these days)


All of my .45 shooting (familiarization, not qualification) was done at about 7
yards. I can't imagine trying to hit a target at 25 yards with those old military
..45's. Well, maybe if the target was a tank.
