Talking about shooting advices

[Alan]

I was at the range the other day, talking with a new shooter. This guy was enthusiastic and driven, but he was also overwhelmed with “advice” from every uncle and neighbor. It reminded me of the useful bits I got when I was starting out… and some of the junk I wish I could un-hear.

So I'm curious....

What’s the best and the worst shooting advice you’ve ever gotten? And if you could offer some wisdom to a new shooter, what would you share? Let’s get some insights from the experts!

My feeling is that it's up to the person to sort out the wheat from the chaff when it comes to advice. I know starting out it is hard to figure which is which but add some common sense to it...it helps. My best advice came from some Israeli soldiers I had chance to spend a bit of time with. Been 40+ years, and it has stuck with me and has been the best.
