Welcome from Arizona!!
I practiced a lot, however one day I ended up with special attention with the instructor that I was to have & well, he made me more comfortable by his words & with helping me stand & hold the gun correctly. I was practicing where I was to have my class & one of the instructors was their after us & so he helped me: I was definately blessed. Therefore when it came time to take the CCW class, I didn't need his attention as much.
