I have been shooting a lot at 6yds with proportionately sized targets (i.e. they have the same apparent size at 6yds as a 10m target does at 10m). I've been very happy with my results (shot 527 at the weekend, and I've only been shooting for a month).

HOWEVER.....it occurred to me that shooting at 6yds is easier than 10m, even with proportionately sized targets. This is because you don't use smaller pellets at 6yds, so the pellets holes are bigger (in proportion to the target) at 6yds than at 10m. So at 6yds a pellet that hits exactly half way between 8 and 9 ring is scored as a 9 because it breaks the 9 ring, but at 10m it doesn't quite break the 9 so is scored as an 8.

So, is there a rule of thumb for how much harder it is to shoot at 10m? What should I expect on my first session on a proper range?
