I intend to pick up my first handgun soon, and I'm wondering if I can learn to shoot well on my own, or if I need an instructor.
I shoot on private land, so an instructor would be an extra expense for me.
I learned to shoot rifles from my dad, when I was a kid. I gradually refined my technique, through practice and also through watching top level shooters. (not in person, more of a "watch the olympic rifle team on TV" kind of thing).
So, without anyone to teach, but with a bit of internet research, the army pistol marksmanship manual, and practice, can I learn to properly shoot a handgun on my own?
