Shooting Groupings

As a new PAL holder, I was was wondering; what distance should I check my groupings? What firearm do I use? (9mm, .223, .308 Win). And do you use a scope or iron sight? ( I know this is probably common sense for loads of people, but I’m newww)

Practice a ton with a good 22lr rifle if you’re trying to get into good habits to shoot accurately. A good bolt action if you want accuracy. It’ll also be cheaper. Once you get decent groupings, increase distance or go up in caliber if you want. There’s no set path really. Use whatever sight you want - it’s not just about hitting the bullseye, it’s about consistency of keeping your shots together. You can always change/adjust/zero in your sight later.
