Keep learning as you go.
Shooting is a skill that takes time. Often it takes over 500 rounds to become proficient with your first handgun. Specializing in self defense, hunting, or competition can take thousands of rounds in some cases. Instruction helps speed up your progress and ensure safe and sane practices.
Investing in yourself
Firearms are a responsibility. Taking a lesson helps you to better understand the risks and benefits of ownership. It will save you time and frustration as you figure out how to shoot and will keep you safe while learning.
