Whatever it takes to get yourself comfortable....

I would recommend you invest a few bucks and get yourself a good instructor until you learn proper techniques. It is a lot easier to learn correct technique and become a good shooter than it is to break poor habits while becoming a terrible shooter.

Just my opinion...only because I'm an Instructor and see this situation every once in a while. Usually comes on when someone can't hit the front of a barn door. I spend five or more hours with them when they could have spent two or three out of the starting gate.
