re: Target Shooting?

I agree with all the foregoing - especially the dry firing advice. Finding range ammo (FMJ) has become an expensive proposition for those who didn't stock up while ammo was plentiful.

The only thing I would add is that I often see people at the range (like I did today) who are practicing with techniques that are probably doing more harm than good.

To the OP: Remember, "Practice doesn't make perfect."
"Practice makes permanent." Under stress most of us will revert to whatever we have developed as habits.

If you can still find a copy (on Amazon or eBay) of Andy Stanford's book entitled "Surgical Speed Shooting," grab it. Andy used to teach a two-day class with the same title (my wife & I took it years ago). The book isn't a substitute for training under one of those gurus, but it does cover every facet of how to shoot a handgun, with lots of step-by-step photos. (I recommend it in all of my classes - but it has gotten hard to find lately).

P.S. I just looked on Amazon and on eBay. This book (which used to sell for about $10) is now $35-65 for "good condition" used copies. It's still a bargain, even at those prices. Andy trained with the "big dogs" back in the day (Jeff Cooper at Gunsite, Ron Avery, Brian Enos, et al). He's no longer teaching, but knew his stuff and wrote in a very clear, easy to follow style.
