I've got some range stories.

Some folks think pointing and shooting is all there is too it. The key is to understand the mechanics of it, and once they do, they become better shooters almost instantly. Beyond that, they only thing you can recommend is practice and becoming intimately familiar with the gun and the ammo it shoots.

I've seen a guy fire one shot from a brand new Remington Model 700 (chambered in .308), said "Ouch!", and packed up and left. I'm sure he either sold it shortly thereafter, or it's sitting in a closet, forgotten, and never to be used again.
