Hey Rex, Welcome to the wonderful world of pistol shooting !! When I first started into pistol competition shooting I practiced holding and aiming the pistol as often as I could, holding the pistol as long and as steady as I could, until I could keep the sights on the target. Practicing shooting pellets is up to you, and is also an important part, controlling the trigger. As for HOW you select which target becomes the one you post on an Internet match ? Well, since you will be firing 3 pellets at each of 5 targets on one sheets, I know that you will most likely do worse after each target, so using the best target, usually means that you use the first target. In a regulation match, you set up your equipment, mount your target, wait for the command to fire, and do your best that one time ! So here we keep it FUN, so do your best, and have FUN !!! So set up your target, and enjoy !! WELCOME TO THE TARGET ZONE ! >>>>>Bill
