at 25 yards. I feel pretty good about it, actually, considering how far I have come. Which is quite far.

I have always struggled with accuracy on the handgun. as I said this has improved dramatically, mostly in the last 3 months. The main key for me has been shooting 2 inch circles. I started this after ToddG gave us all a bunch of pistol-training.com targets after his recent "How to Practice" practice session at the NRA range in Fairfax, VA. Like in the class, every range trip since I actively work on accuracy by starting at 4 yards and shooting 5 rounds into a 2" circle. Assuming they all make it in the circle, I increase distance a half a yard (the increments the target system my range uses) and repeat. If not, I try again at the current distance. I typically cannot reliably pass 5.5-6 yards, and so with that in mind, plus the odd-looking group pictured here, I am certainly have lots of room for improvement.
Glock 17 gen 4. Shooting my 115 grn reloads.
I shot 8 rounds. 6 of them are in the black, all are on paper.
(I previously used this target to rezero an AR, hence the 7 or so .22 caliber holes)
How do you practice pure accuracy?
