I will be the first to admit when I don't know about something, and fellas I don't know very much about guns 
. But I am interested to learn, and hope to one day have a good knowledge on the subject.
In all my other hobbies I've gotten into, it always seems that looking back if I could change things around I woulda done "this instead of that" or so on. Part of it is learning that everyone must go through, sure, but some of it can be learned from experience by others and their recommendations. I always try to pass what I have learned about something on to others, and I'm asking for that now.
So if you had to start with a blank slate of a mind when it came to training, proper positioning, gun holding technique I mean EVERYTHING what would you do? I'm going to try to start making it to Monday nights and can learn some there, but I need to be careful who I take advice from I'm sure
as I want to avoid learning wrong from the get go .
I've always given advice, training, help and wisdom for free. I feel a certain responsibility to a "sport" to pass it on to others, and just as I appreciated the experienced taking me under their wing when I was coming up, I do the same to those that ask me. I know however not everyone is like this, and I don't know if shooting is something you can be trained in and not have to pay. I understand some people make a living off of this sport, and if that's the only way for me to learn good habits from the beginning then ok, but I'd rather it be a mentor type deal.
So if anyone has any ideas on books, videos, if you know of someone who you'd recommend paying to learn, or if one of you wants to have a protege
... I'm all ears.
I don't want to learn anything now that is wrong, and have to re-learn it again later when I can start on a clean slate and be good from the get -go.
