Congrats. We need pictures.![[smile]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/001.gif "Smile [smile]")
Stance and how to aim should have been covered in your safety course. If not your instructor gets a FAIL. As for techniques, I'm sure someone will chime in soon with places to get more training.

So true. I'm so indoctrinated with MA law I forget that there are free states out there. My apologies.
Not all courses have hands-on.Congrats. We need pictures.

Congrats and welcome.
Are you going to join any of the local clubs/ranges? If so, I'm confident someone from NES would be willing to join you and give you some pointers. It's not as good as a class, but you can never stop learning.

I have a good idea.
Become a member of this forum for a few bucks a year (there is quite a bunch that goes on in the member area)
and see if people are willing to go shooting with you. I'm sure tons would. You could learn from them.
Also, look up Todd Jarrett on youtube and see what he says about holding a pistol properly...and then do that.

advice from other members is great...and hands on time at the range with them is even better.
Look into action shooting. Insanely fun (check our pistol competition forum here)
