...Would you recommend pursuing target training before the CPL then? I want to make sure that I am at least a decent marksmen before I start carrying...
Most classes designed to satisfy a state permit requirement provide very little or no actual instruction in the fundamentals. They usually cover just what the State requires as far as basic safe handling and law. So if you're really interested in becoming proficient you will want additional training -- either before or after the CPL class.

Most decent self defense oriented, basic level classes include a health dose of marksmanship fundamentals.
