Out of hunting season doesn’t mean it’s out of shooting season. Great shooters and women achieve and remain in this position by shooting regularly.
Ah, but ammunition is steep. Yes, but the same applies to coffee and beer. Fortunately, in shooting, unlike drinking coffee and beer, there are great substitutes. The first is dehydrated firing, which sounds cheesy but actually works. I saw this work just yesterday when my son-in-law missed a milk jug at 10 yards with a gun. I asked him to dehydrated fire it and watch where his sight was when the trigger broke.
