Yes, go for it.
You'll find that there are other factors that will influence your ability to shoot well (e.g. shooting on the move, behind cover, TIME, strong/weak hand - one hand shooting that is and so much more).
If you look at the action pistol competitions, such as,
IDPA (International Defensive Pistol Association) or
USPSA (aka
IPSC.... United States Practical Shooting Assocation a branch of the International Practical Shooting Confederation) you'll find there is more to learn than just merely being able to hit a stationary target at X distance.
Also, on the flip side for Bullseye shooting there are other skills you'll need.
So, really get out there and have fun. The first year should be chalked up for just fun and getting used to all the rules and learning from the masters on the field.
Just make sure you read a bit on the sport that best fits your interest. They all have their own rules and how things are done.
