Time for a straight answer. The best Web site for practical pistol shooting is without a doubt
Brian Enos' Forums . There is an entire section on skills and another section on classifier scores. Surf on over there and you will get a pretty decent idea of what "good" looks like in USPSA type shooting. Practical shooting has a lot of emphasis on speed.
The problem with asking a question like yours is you will get such a broad spectrum of answers. Guys will remember their tightest groups, not what they can do cold and on demand. They will also remember their fastest times not their par times. Then there are the folks who just peddle BS.
Like I said before, a good pistol shooter is one who has an understanding of the fundamentals and has developed solid technique. Accuracy and speed can then be developed.
Thanks for that link. Like I said in my original post, I was more interested in hearing about what groups and distances a "good" shooter can put up.
I know some people will disagree but for me there are benchmarks of skill. Growing up playing pool it was when I could run 10 racks of nine ball or run 100 points in straight pool. Once you hit those marks, you were coming into a certain skill level. By no means were you good enough to be called the best or even compete for that matter but it garnered a certain label, and most could say with a certain degree of accuracy that you were "good"
Now that I am have become interested in shooting I was looking for some of the same things as it helps me strive for higher plateaus.
Thanks to everyone for the replies though. I read each one and can honestly say I have a slightly different mindset.
