Tanker,
You're right, I've seen guys who shoot almost every weekend and still can't hit anything. I don't know why, it's not that difficult: Good sight picture, squeeze the trigger. If you do it right it goes boom when the sights are lined up with the target. If someone goes the range week after week and still can't hit anything, they're doing something wrong.
My wife and I took a concealed pistol class a while back. When we went to the range, I had her shoot my Python; she shot a few bullseyes and then said "no, I want to shoot MY gun." So she switched to her S&W Airweight and continued to shoot nice, tight groups. The instructors were impressed, thinking she was an experienced shooter. No, I told them, we went in the back yard a couple of times and she shot a few dozen rounds total. Meanwhile the shooters around us were spraying bullets all over their targets.
The other night (4th of July), my ex-USMC stepson wanted to shoot his Glock in the back yard. I couldn't say no, being it was the 4th and neighbors wouldn't complain. I sat up a metal spinning target my wife bought me for my birthday. By this time it was getting late and it was just about impossible to see your sight picture. I got out my Hi-Power and shot three rounds: plink, plink, plink. I gave up after than because the new handloads weren't feeding very good. Stepson gets out his Glock and proceeds to go through a magazine without hitting anything. Go figure: Newer gun, better sights, younger eyes and he still couldn't hit anything.
