If you've been shooting for 20+ years, what tips would you give new shooters? Let’s hear the wisdom from the veterans of the range.

 

[Jesse]

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

 

[Howard]

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.

My Father. RIP

Focus on the front sight.

 

[Farr]

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.
