The perfect accessory for a newbie's gun

[Tylden]

First I'd like to say that I'm a newbie...I've been shooting for just a couple of months now, and would like to share with you the best "accessory" I found for my gun .....range time with a good instructor !!!! I learned very quickly that there was a lot of little things I was doing wrong that added up to my "groups" (or lack thereof) being all over the place, lots of fliers, etc. It just amazes me how such seemingly insignificant subtle little changes and a few at home exercises can make such a big difference !!! Okay, I'm not suddenly nailing 2 inch groups from 50 yards lol...but at least I am IMPROVING now and starting to see actual groups on the paper. Much more fun this way The second "accessory" I bought (and continue to buy) is lots of practice ammo. It feels so good to know I'm on the right track now and don't have too many bad habits to break ! At this point and time, I'm putting off changing sights, having a smith tweek the trigger, change springs, etc etc etc.....the gun IS doing its job....I just have to do mine better. Well, my second lesson tomorrow morning and then more practice, practice, practice. Afterall, shooting is supposed to be fun, not frustrating

I've always said that the money spent on a shooting class from one of the "name" instructors (Louie Awerbuck, Jim Crews, Randy Cain, Scott Reitz, Steve Gonzalez, Tom Givens, Jim Higgenbotham, etc.) and/or shooting schools (Gunsite, Blackwater, Thunder Ranch, etc.) is the best you'll ever spend. It will actually save you money and perhaps, your life, by inculcating good shooting technique and basic firearms skills.

The money you'll save on ammo not wasted by poor shooting habits and technique will pay for a course in short order. You'll never know what you don't know unless you're shown.
