Actually Willie, shooting ballons filled full of helium is good practice for moving targets. You will need a RC car or truck of some sort though to move them around. Use different colors and sizes to make it more real.
Balloons is too big!! I use them smaller targets [golfballs] You don't have to tell me how to shoot I was shooting for 45 yrs. [AND have been shot at quite a few times as well]

That says it all. I'll also admit I was scared. It also tends to make you do everything you can next time. You can always tell a guy who was. He's "so into" practice and being a perfectionist, he won't settle for less.
My Vietnam buddy here in Florida was in a terrible situation and he showed incredible restraint.
He was driving his truck on a well traveled road when another pickup truck passed him and broke his mirror. My buddy got out of his vehicle only to be spit on by the other driver who had an audience of his fellow contruction workers...My buddy does have a CCW and carries concealed.
This other guy came at him once again with a hammer swinging and my buddy restrained himself even after this guy took three swings at my buddy.....My buddy sued this POS and won a reasonable amount but in my opinion it was not enough.. He did receive a few hundred and a new mirror...I can truly say the construction worker was a very lucky abuser and he didn't know that my buddy carrried until the trial where he began sweating hard after he was told...
Weapons are not a game where one can threaten another person....You draw and fire. That's it...

That hammer was indeed a "deadly weapon". He could have been shot just as easy. One whack to the skull or head and he would have wished he pulled his CCW handgun. I'd say BOTH were very lucky.
50 yards is rifle territory. 25-50 feet isn't out of line though. It amazes me all the guys who only shoot and practice at 7-10 feet. What if...what if...what if you are scr*wed?
at the range, I practice and shoot out to 25 meters, a bit over 75 feet. at work we practice quite a few different distances, qualify for them and use both pistol and rifles at CQB distances and rifle distances.
why would anyone need that inside their house? that sounds more like sniping than self defense. if it came to that, any rifle is better. 1911s didn't kill many people as people seem to think. m1s did as well as others.
why would anyone need what? in their own home.
