Common Mistakes at the Shooting Range

Even seasoned shooters make mistakes at the range. At LA Guns and Range, we help you spot and fix common issues to ensure safe, effective practice sessions.

1. Poor Stance

Leaning back or improper foot placement affects balance and recoil control. Always maintain a stable, forward-leaning stance for better shooting fundamentals.

2. Anticipating Recoil

Flinching in anticipation of recoil throws off your shot. Focus on smooth, deliberate trigger control and trust your stance to manage recoil naturally.

3. Neglecting Safety Rules

Always keep muzzle awareness and trigger discipline top of mind. Safety lapses endanger everyone on the range.

4. Lack of Focus on Fundamentals

Skipping the basics in favor of flashy drills can create bad habits. Master the fundamentals first for lasting success.
