I am a new shooter, though I have been able to properly fire a weapon for about three years. I own a shotgun and another pistol (XD40). I would like to learn how to shoot properly (I may already know what I need to know...) before I start going to the range every two weeks w/my Dad.

I know there are combat classes, basic classes, etc. I know what a slide is, how it locks, where the mag release is, the rules of gun safety, where the off hand belongs, etc. Should I take a class or private lesson? If yes, specifically where should I start?

I am near Ft. Worth, Texas in Tarrant County.
