One of the biggest mistakes all shooters make is going to fast. They work hard to shoot faster when in reality they should be working hard to shoot smoother. By shooting faster they end up wasting a lot of range time, ammo, and actually program bad habits.
If you focused the little bit of practice that you get this year into a smooth session that saw your fundamentals increase, you may be surprised to see your shooting skills improve with less time and money. Smooth=Fast in shooting. When you become a smooth shooter, you will be a faster shooter. By the way, shooting smooth will also make you accurate. Focus on the fundamentals at your next range session by going smooth and see better results.
