Just one thing I can say about that, Capstick1, OUCH! I have had the back of my right hand chewed on by a Hi-Power hammer, so I got a pair of shooting gloves made by Uncle Mike's.
I was at the local indoor range one Sunday, and a guy and his g/f were in the next lane shooting a S&W M27, going just as fast as they could through a cylinder of ammo, and not hitting much. I noticed she was doing a falmingo stance, one foot flat on the floor, the other leg bent at the knee, and like she was trying to balance on one foot. At any rate, I watched for a bit, then the guy wants to know what I'm shooting (CZ75B and a FM/FN Hi-Power). I asked if they would like to try some of my hardware. With a few words of instruction, they were hitting nice tight groups with my pistols, and their collective form had improved.
The guy asked me if I'd like totry their rental, OF COURSE!! I sidled up to the counter in their lane, picked the thing up, cocked it, took a breath, put the index finger on the trigger and squeezed oh, so gently. At the end of the cylinder, all six rounds were touching. I had to explain that it's not about speed, but getting into a 'zone' where it's only you, the sights and the target. Practice your basics, and concentrate on the 'zone'.
They left, and with the look on their faces, I know they will be back.
