I'm completely aware that this will be a re-invention of the wheel for some....but I thought I'd share with other new shooters like me.
When doing dry fire practice, I use a post-it on the wall for aiming. The issue is that the range is so close that it looks too "sharp" or in-focus, even when maintaing primary focus on the front post. I've found that by making the bull an asterisk instead of a full circle, it helps blur the edge like an SR looks at 200.
Edit:
For what it is worth, my math shows the following close range target sizes
7yd=.46in dia
8yd=.52in dia
9yd=.59in dia
10yd=.65in dia
I use a 3/4" target paster at about 12' on a Venetian mini blind louver.
What heights do you use for standing, sitting, and prone?
I've heard and years ago used a penny taped to the wall at a certain distance (forget which) as close to a standard bullseye. Probably about 25-30 feet.
I use about 62" for standing, 22, sitting, 16 prone.
A penny would be really good for 30 ft. A dime is almost perfect, but a little shiney. I like the sticky note because it almost looks like a target board.
