Training is very important not only to get good at something but to build confidence in your abilities, it is too bad that a lot of training baselines are set to the lowest common denominator.
I have a handgun carry permit rather rare in Canada, in order to show practical proficiency one must fire the intended carry weapon at 5, 10, and 15 yds standing and kneeling and reloads at a 18" diameter target and score 80% hits. I am not sure but I would hope our law enforcement has more stringent requirements. My hobby is bullseye target shooting at 25 and 50yds I am not happy with myself if 80% of my shots are not 8 ring or better.
