Some people might already practice this, but those of you who I'll see at the range stomping around like it's a competition or getting upset about your groups not being 1 inch at 25 yards. Stop, please. Just have fun at the range, and as a former grunt in the marine corps (infantry) I can tell you that when it comes to self defense... Worry about the silhouette target not the bullseyes. Most home handgun engagements are within 15 feet. Practice what's most comfortable. Not competition style shooting even though that's the way to hold your tightest group. Go over scenarios in your head... I.e. peeking around a corner shooting. Just do what feels right and focus on correct sight alignment and sight picture. It doesn't take much to stop someone who's endangering your family. I told my fiancée when she was on the range with me for the first time to "hold the gun how you want, just make sure you have a high grip and you're seeing through the sights correctly; and after 50 rounds she was holding a nice pattern on the targets chest. All it takes is practice within 15 or 25 feet with self defense. Anything else is for competition which im envious of those guys... Such incredible fundamentals... Anyway keep shooting and focus on comfort not form... If you're not hitting where you're aiming it's either incorrect sight picture, trigger control, or not breathing he whole time. Or all three. Have fun and be safe
