That's learning anything: there's an increase in skill, followed by a short dip in skill, followed by a plateau then finally a quick spike. Then all over again. For target shooting the hardest thing that most people have to deal with is the noise (especially the noise from the other shooters around you). That flinching you were talking about is completely natural and really shouldn't ever completely go away (it's a basic survival instinct). > looking forward to 12 hours of classroom & 3+ range. > may wind up selling it, afterwards and go back to psyionic warfare. My father used to teach gun safety - mostly rifle safety for hunters. I grew up with guns as a major element of my life. I don't actually own any now (well - I still have my first BB gun, but that's different) but those lessons (especially after being drilled into you for years) never leave.
