Mr. Stoeger, i would like to thank you and express my appreciation on the videos you consistently upload to help shooters on how to improve. Even though the drills in your books and videos cause me to yell and cuss out loud to myself at the range, where i get weird looks from others, lol.

Wife's question: What's the difficulty rating for 21-24 yards?

It'd be safe to assume Hard for most people, but take the difficulty guidelines in the video as just a starting point: The best confirmation level will reveal itself based on your skill level and your gun. A stock Glock is going to present a different array of difficulties per distance than one with a red dot, or compared to an Open gun. If you're B Class, it won't be the same once you're M Class, etc. An example of this from Practical Shooting Training is the distance you can expect to "hold the A Zone" based on your shooting level. What's important is to test yourself and find the lowest confirmation level that gives you good enough hits at each distance and circumstance. "Good enough" usually means As and close Cs, but using partials or poppers instead of open targets can often change what confirmation level is best for you at a given distance. Ditto for when you have to lean, shoot from a low port, shoot one-handed, etc. Test yourself until you're confident in what confirmation to use no matter the situation.
