I agree with BigD to an extent but will profess that ANY practice that makes you proficient with your weapon is better than none...
For instance, i am not formally trained unless circa 1970's Soldier of Fortune and Field and Stream magazine articles count...
But being a po' folk redneck with caring parents and grand parents to lead me best they could, I learned to make best use of my ammo for practice and hunting...
No such thing as "bustin' off a few rounds for the heck of it..."... I am rife with fundamental flaws and bad habits that would likely make a truly trained gunman cringe or worse...
But I do make the lead fall on the right target pretty much routinely...
One of my worst known flaws is in use of the trigger hand and finger... Having grown up on borrowed guns much of the time and these being owned by average or taller men when I was a super small boy for my age, my grip placement is far from precise as is where I place my finger on the trigger... Even with the same gun of mine and during same session, my hand and finger are all over the place...
Sometimes I "pull" the trigger, sometimes I "squeeze" it while other times I just "snap it off the sear"...
One bad habit that must be avoided or corrected is the "flinch factor"... It WILL cause missed shots and under duress can get your still beating heart handed to you...
