It’s less a “distance” question and more a “time” calculation. If I’m shooting a 1 inch square at 5 yards on a tight par, my whole body will be engaged in recoil because it’s “Important” that the gun tracks flat fast. The flip side is if I’m shooting Dot Torture at 7 yards or 25 yard groups with no part time, my grip pressure is the same as it is at 5 yards on that bill drill, but the rest of my body is FAAAAAR more relaxed, because now it’s not as important that the gun track flat RIGHT AWAY.
