Talking about shooting advices

[Alan]

I was at the range the other day, talking with a new shooter. This guy was enthusiastic and driven, but he was also overwhelmed with “advice” from every uncle and neighbor. It reminded me of the useful bits I got when I was starting out… and some of the junk I wish I could un-hear.

So I'm curious....

What’s the best and the worst shooting advice you’ve ever gotten? And if you could offer some wisdom to a new shooter, what would you share? Let’s get some insights from the experts!

I’d recommend to start with the basics and not skipping any steps. Focus on grip, stance, sight alignment, and trigger control. Master each of these before you start thinking about speed or looking impressive. It’s wise to invest in solid training rather than expensive gear. And you can probably ignore about 80% of the unsolicited advice you hear at the range until you’ve built enough experience to distinguish the good advice from the bad.
