Also, I don't know where you're at, but if you ever get a chance to shoot with El Gato on this forum, take it. That man can shoot. I learn just watching him.

fadlan12,

Sounds like your doing well. As you've seen there is a wealth of information here and good people that are willing to help.

Just keep working on the basics.

If your going to start using logic and reason around here I'm leaving.

How dare you, txi!

It's been my impression that, with the exception of rimfires, it's fine to dry fire most modern firearms. Even some rim fires are ok to dry fire, such as the Ruger single six because of the recessed chambers. In any case I dry fire just about all of my guns and have a for a while. I've never had any issues, yet.

As for your shooting. One thing that has helped me is start slowly at the beginning of the shooting session. I usually start by loading one round in the magazine. The lets you concentrate on that shot without any concern for the next shot. After about 20 shots in the manner I start loading 2 rounds, then 3 and so on. This is a slow process but it has helped improved my shooting tremendously.

Some of the CHL instructors here can tell you not to worry about the test. I'm sure they've seen thier share of people take the test who hardly knew which end the bullet come out. Most of us were nervous the first time taking the test. You'll do fine.
