Good answers so far.
I was purposfully leaving my question very open because I intend the answers to be a good guide for those who are new to this, as well as help me.
So for example, I get to train very little. Due to cost of the mortage and a new baby on the way, I can very rarely afford to shoot like I would like to. I also no longer belong to a range, partially due to cost, but also because of the fact that it was too static. There was no draw and shoot, no movement, no shooting from different positions ect.
So if I want to train, I need to drive 45 minutes to 1 hour to the national forest, bring homemade target stands, and shoot out there.
While that allows me a lot of freedom in how I shoot, it isn't conducive to me shooting every week, not that I could afford the ammo anyways. My shooting budget has shrunk considerably over the last year, to where I have to squirrel away a few bucks here and there to cover ammo costs.
So it goes without saying that attending a profesional training school is not going to happen anytime soon.
So what can I work on, by myself (since I don't have many friends who are into shooting) that would improve my skills?
So this is really a two part question, what are the skill sets that the general shooting public should strive for, and what are the things that I personally can do, on a budget that will help me achieve those skill sets.
Thanks again.
