You’re going about it...Deb, we all start somewhere. You’re going about it smart by getting good training in the basics. Too many people try to jump (or have someone push them) into the deep end of the pool before they are prepared and bad things happen as a result. Work at your pace with what you are comfortable with. There are a ton of great people in the shooting community willing to help. Like most communities though, we have our share of knuckleheads. Learn to recognize and steer clear of them. Develop a trustee group of shooting buddies (GunDiva) posted about that not too long ago) and go have fun. Get involved in local matches if you can. There are matches to meet just about every possible skill level and shooting discipline. Trust me. Nothing highlights shortcomings in gear or training like shooting a competition. I’ve seen high dollar guns go down because of a $2 spring breaking. I’ve seen good shooters have an off stage, run through all their ammo and shout out for a borrowed mag to complete the stage. But you learn from it and it’s an enjoyable time with like minded people.

I find that I shoot my 9mm better after shooting a hundred rounds of 22. So the skills do translate.<br /><br />Whatever you shoot, be sure you are intentional with your range time. Have a goal of something to work on, rather than just throwing lead.<br /><br />Go get 'em!!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548931916043733664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799839071071205839.post-41122165506589794992020-07-20T07:25:23.676-07:002020-07-20T07:25:23.676-07:00Thanks Daddy Hawk... rethinking the whole .22 for ...Thanks Daddy Hawk... rethinking the whole .22 for concealed carry now.

If it’s the gun that you are confident in and can put accurate shots where they will do the most good, I’m not volunteering to be the back stop. Just saying.
