At how many yards?
If you miss at the range with a pistol, you’re a prett bad shot? 75 yard minimum, depending on your pistol of course, you should be able to hit your target, no?
You make it sound like being a good shot with a good handgun is difficult.
Shooting at a range is nothing like shooting on the field, especially under pressure. Add a moving target, and you’ll be lucky to get one hit in a magazine.
Pull a gun out of your holster, point downrange and pop off six quick snap-shots at a torso sized target 25 yards away. You’ll mostly miss.
Target shooting - draw, aim, breathe and squeeze - is nothing like shooting under pressure.
