10 cm is about 3.5 inches if I remember right.
10 meters is barely 30 feet
I did not go through a qualify round, but was informed that I do by the owner that runs the particular range for local cops. I am a member there. He reports that our cops are doing less than an hour a week at the range.... some one hour a YEAR... egads.

WTH is up with that?
These guys are the ones we are asking to protect us, my wife, children and grandchildren??? They are buried with politically correct paperwork and so on.

Granted, I did a lot closer to an hour a day for months on end. I did not start with 3-4 inch groups... It took me 600 rounds at least...

Yes, I LOVE to shoot.

I have a problem with the left hand skills though..

Heh, I was a combat engineer, but I still had to “qualify” on rifle for my badge to get into airborne at fr. benning.

I was such a bad shot (I’m from Chicago, I had never fired a rifle in my life), my e6 worked with me for weeks to qualify because I was a licensed heavy equipment operator.

I swear he was ready to shoot ME. I didn’t know the value, and in ‘65 I swore I din’t need a rifle. by ‘67 I had one over my shoulder at all times (our perimeters were not so point”) I was scared for my life and I had wished I knew better how to shoot!

I took a gun class again in the 80’s, but still I was horrible shot. I wish I was the Dirty Harry type, lol, I just can’t shoot the broad side of a barn.
