But who the heck would site a rifle in at just 25 yards? It was in Utah, right? There'd be tons of places where you could shoot a rifle to 100 yards at least. Most of those indoor gun ranges that don't have anything over 25 yards don't allow rifles.
Some people. Just like everything else, there's enough out there to have someone do it. I know people who swore by 25 yards because it's 'good enough' for the majority of times when you'd be using a rifle in a confrontation.

Interesting link, thanks for sharing it
Yeah, I was just saying my first thought, whistling in the dark. OP was sort of right on the money, I thought. I was just saying that my first thought was super similar. Probably says more about me than anyone else lol.
It sort of speaks to a good shooter at known distances, which made me think of urban ranges as I'm in an urban area.
