    Get out and practice people.

    Let me preface this by saying that i only got back into shooting a few months ago. But..........

    While the shooting and interacting with others at the range was great fun, my aim, stance and trigger technique needed alot of work. After listening to other shooters with great enthusiasm for the sport and working on their tips, i was able to make a marked difference in my skills.

    What a difference practice makes!! Went out saturday and was almost amazed at the difference. Hadn't shot in a few weeks and was really looking forward to going. Took my time and had the best range day ever for me. Gone was the low/left hits. Still hit a few left, but was much more in the target than ever before and i must credit that to the tips from seasoned handgun shooters who were nice enough to give me the tips that helped.

    In summary, listen to the good shooters. Not everything they say will likely fit your own personal style, but odds are most will and it will make your experience at the range so much more fun when you see your own gradual improvement.

    Lastly.....practice, practice and practice some more. It does pay off.

    Good reminder. I think one of the hardest things is to practice more diligently on the areas that aren't are strengths already. As an example I can shoot tight groups pretty well and it can be satisfying to practice that way, however I have to kinda force myself to do more holster work, shoot on the move and engage multiple targets.
