Learning to be a good rifleman will probably take a lot more shooting that what you described.
Especially if you want to do it at ranges longer than the usual 100 yds.
One of the ways that some of the serious competitors practice is with a good .22.
The technique and skill required for accurate shooting with a .22 at the commonly available distance of 100 yds, is the equivalent of a .308 at 300 yds.
A good a place to start as any.
Just a thought.
