Simple. My Grandfather. Patient to a point and a stickler on safety.

Get a copy of the 10 rules of gun safety and follow it to the letter. I'm on the old a crusty side and I read it quite frequently.

It never hurts to review important info like that.

As far as shooting per se, breath control, proper sight alignment and trigger squeeze. Firearm familiarity is important to. Know your firearm, eat, sleep and dine with it. It's your best friend, know it well. Unless you are extremely gifted don't try shootimg a bunch of firearms. Shoot just one and practice to do it very well. Shoot from different field positions. You are not always going to be able to shoot prone. Practice offhand, sitting and kneeling. I'm a bit of an oddball, I like kneeling.

Find what you like best and as Paul Horning says, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.

Ok folks now jump in here and CMA.
