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!

As an instructor this one is hard.
But I tend to focus on the basics, sight alignment , sight picture, natural point of Aim, respatory pause, squeeze or press the trigger, and follow through. Beyond that it's what works for you. Try what the instructor is teaching, it may work for you it may not. Be open to something new, as long as it's safe, try it. There is no one size fits all outside of the basics listed above. the truth is the guy who knows EVERYTHING, doesn't. My way or the highway is no way to teach, advise, or learn.
