Sharpshooters has classes to improve shooting skills. Cost is $125 for a two-hour one-on-one class
with the instructor. Bring the firearms and two boxes of ammo. Might do it just for the hell of it.

Save your money. Take a golf lesson. Much harder than shooting.

I've wasted enough money on golf lessons. I need to spend a lot more time practicing if I really
want to improve. I don't see myself doing that.


I've noticed at the range that there are some people very proficient in
shooting who are always willing to watch your stance, shooting style and
offer suggestions. When I had the S&W Bodyguard and was constantly
shooting low, one guy (turns out he's on the club competition pistol
shooting team) pointed out what I was doing wrong. He helped a lot but
I still didn't like that pistol. I suppose if it was the only handgun
you had and shot, you'd become very familiar with it but when you shoot
other handguns as well, it becomes a pain in the ass to concentrate on
the idiosyncrasies of one gun.


My SIL has a Bodyguard. I didn't like it either. I took her to the range to learn how to shoot it,
but it wasn't the gun I'd buy.

I like the Sig P938 much better.


How do they compare size wise? The one good thing about the Bodyguard
is that it was a good pocket size pistol. Problem was that if I ever
had to use it in a hurry for self-defense I'd probably hit the sucker in
the foot.
