We have a small house. I don't have an much room for setting up a "range" ala S Anderson. So would it be silly to use DIY scaled down targets (IE IDPA style) to replicate distance for dry fire training?
Boy I hope this question makes sense!

Me too (small house.)
I created a mini B8 target that I use for dry practice at 9'. I calculated the target size so the sight picture is the same as I see at the range on a standard B8 at 25 yards. I find it works pretty well for dry practice.

The longest hallway in our home is 11 yards. I put a 1/3rd scale target on the far wall. If I have my math right, that permits dry-firing at an effective 33 yards. I've attached some suitable targets that you could print out, just to get you started.
Hey thanks all for the help! Appreciate the targets! Good to hear it's a viable method.
Good deal.
Fwiw here is the B8 I use:

There was a thread on here not so long ago on that had some good printable target links. I don't have time to search for it currently, but I linked the folders below on there too. I've compiled these on google drive from various sources for easy download.

(They also have IDPA)

Ben's are legit cardboard tsrgets that are shrunk down. Insta's are just thick paper, and a little smaller I think.
