I wish I’d known sooner that dry fire practice helps more than trying to get to the range all the time.

First thing I was ever taught when I got my first .22at around 8.

-Every gun is always loaded, never point it at anything you dont intend to shoot.
--Secondly, Always know where the bullet will stop before you send it.

Focus on the front sight.

Learn to shoot standing up before you get comfy on a bench. If you're good standing, you can shoot well no matter where you are.
