Trainer? Who said trainer?

You don't need a trainer to watch you. Print out that chart at home, get some snap caps, and practice at point blank range. You'll easily see the movements heading in some direction on that chart.

You can also go a step farther and just use a sharpened No. 2 pencil in the barrel. When you fire, it will toss the pencil at the paper and leave a mark. See what the mark is telling you needs corrected. Must be done at point blank range. This is how I taught myself to shoot the M-9 pistol and those nasty pumkin on a post sights. It worked so well for me that others in my unit picked it up to try.
