If it's on the internet it must be good

As a new shooter, there is a great temptation to type your question into the search engine of the day and then after carefully reading the various websites, take the advice to heart and practice it, after all if some super secret squirrel organization is doing, it must be the bees knees.
Wrong! There is a reason why the internet has been referred to as the "errornet". Unless you absolutely trust the source, take everything with a pound of salt. There is nothing better than taking a class, especially when it comes to firearms, instead of trusting the first hit of the search engine's results.
