I have thought this more than once

But he said it

I've said many times, that people would actually save money, by taking classes, and learning how to correctly shoot, but I've heard over and over again "But the guys at the gun shop said, If you buy this one you can't miss"......, and going to the range and standing in some stiff legged modified weaver, with your index finger curled around the trigger guard, (because that is how the actor held it on Thursday night prime time), and slapping the trigger a couple of hundred times isn't training, it may feel good , but it isn't training. Leaning back, and holding your gat in the cup and saucer mode, might in your mind be a cool looking way to shoot isn't training, not sure I'd even call it shooting. "I know how to shoot", is now countered with, "yeah, ok but do you know how to hit?, see teaching someone to shoot is easy, you can teach a monkey to shoot, matter of fact they can figure it out themselves.
But learning to hit, repeatedly, no it is not like the lottery, where you score once in awhile, is getting your mind into it, 99.9 percent of the time there is nothing wrong with your gun, and your ammo is not out of date, or isn't a bad batch, it is you.
