Even at that distance He/She/It is pulling left. Ugh.
The muzzle blast alone should take care of that target....
I have seen people tying to qualify there for what ever agency or security firm and completely miss the target at 7 yards with a SHOTGUN. I packed up an left.
I've seen that at On Target as well - it's pretty scary when you think about the fact that these people are now "qualified" to carry and use (if necessary) and they have no hope of hitting what they are shooting at, and will likely hit a whole lot of other things in the process.
Overall though, that's the way it seems for most of the places I go - about 20% of the people I see shooting can actually "shoot" where they are getting raggedy 1 hole groups. Most folks are all over the paper at 25 feet, and some have issues keeping it on the paper at 25 feet.

Unfortunately, it seems like a lot of these issues/people are what comes with shooting at a public range. I've been to several in the state and have seen the same stupid shit at each one. None of them are immune to it, just depends on how they deal with it. My favorite experience by far was the "security guards" I saw qualifying at On Target once. One guy was using the front pocket of a Home Depot apron as his mag pouch.

I'm going to their new member orientation on Sunday
I hope it works out for you. I haven't been in too long, but weekdays in the morning on rifle range I'm usually alone. Can go from 25 to 300 yards.
On pistol you can choose individual pits. No one but you.

There goes the neighborhood
How jammed is it normally on the weekends?
I had been mostly sneaking up during the week but the times I've been there on the weekends weren't bad. When the weather gets nice I'm sure it'll be loaded up and try to avoid the weekends before deer season! LOL!

A long time ago.
But it, along with a couple of things turned me off from AGC. Then I got out of shooting for a while.
Maybe things have changed, but SLCFSA is closer and very nice. And a LOT cheaper. So no reason to revisit AGC.

Why do you have to be a top competitor for this?
Beginning shooters can also benefit from video or live coaching.
I do agree that the draw can be done at home. But recoil control and double taps are hard to do.

A friend of a friend was into firearms, but had zero skills.
We were all out shooting, and he completely missed a full sized silhouette paper target from 5 yards. He jerked every round low.
Then the one time I shot at On Target, doing my NRA instructor range work, a buddy was breaking in a new Paraordnance. So after I was done my instructor work, I wandered down. He had two USPSA targets up at about 7 years and he was doing two target double taps. I loaded some mags for him, and he let me shoot them. So we started switching back and forth. RO came over to keep a close eye of us. I was looking down the range, and watched a lady with a revolver put the first round down range, the second round high, the third round in the ceiling. And walked the other rounds back over her head, with the last round a few inches above the glass. But WE were the ones that required the RO to watch us closely.
And lastly, I did not see this, but used to shoot bullseye at an indoor range in Laurel. One of the guys how shot the league, also taught at the range. One evening, he told us of a student that day, that was not hitting the target. He kept asking her if she was concentrating on the front sight. And she said she was. So he got closer, looked over her shoulder, and she was holding the pistol pointed straight up. She was looking at the front sight from the top. He looked up, and sure enough, the ceiling above was shot up.
