Question GConn's Hillbilly Range Report!?!

I Hope you fellers can please tell me how well I did - or did not do ... how much work I need , any tips, advice, opinions, comments, suggestions or "other" (and/or ALL OF THE ABOVE) that you may care to add - I'd appreciate! I simply painted this one-ringed, green bulls-eye "target" real quick on the back/side of this old shack we have here.

F/A: Kel-Tec PF-9 (9MM) - Micro/Mini Pistol

Distance: (measured) 30 feet (10 yards) - shooting "uphill" - (slight incline - not sure how many "degrees" or "% of grade", but this IS in the "hills").

Grip/Stance: One (right) hand (1-handed "seems" to occur naturally for me - though I'm sure I'd do better with a two-handed, more "professional" ["police/military"??] style).

1 mag. fired (a WHOPPING seven/7 WHOLE rounds - total - haha ).

Not sure what other info might be relevant/pertinent ... ?

Folks I apologize that this pics came-out so big...I'm not sure how/why that occurred, but if I need to make them smaller, I can do that.

The silver marks are where I spray-painted the holes to mark them. The top right mark/hole was a first, single shot by itself, and then the rest were done rapid-fire... "a group", I guess you call it.

Please keep in mind - this was from 30 feet (10 yards) distance.

30 feet, one handed rapid fire, six 9mm hits in what would have been body mass. I'd say that got the job done.

That's some good shootin'. You hit every one of those white spots dead center.

(Hope nobody was in that outhouse when you were shooting.)

Those look like my Ozarks hills. My better shooting range goes from one ridge side to another. The shorter range is just downhill.

Good shootin' - just be careful of your backstop.

Thanks! And I am always careful of my backstops...that has always somehow seemed to come natural for me (common sense I reckon?). Whenever I first started shootin' as a kid, backstop was sorta the first thing that would come to mind when I thought about shootin'...that is, AFTER the initial thrill at the mere thought of shootin' had passed!

And these here hills are in west-central VA...not WV, but not far from WV either - whether you drive west or north from here.
