I'm 28 - took a little break between my undergrad and grad school. I definitely know I'm not going to be a great shot and look forward to lots and lots of practice. I'm shocked at how nice and supportive everyone has been so far, both in online communities and in person.
You are in an environment full of people who understand that everything they know they learned at some point and then refined that learning to where they are today. You may not be great immediately, but I have confidence that over time you will become as proficient as you wish to be. After all, you have passed the first and largest hurdle of understanding the nature and purpose of gun ownership even if you are getting there on the installment plan. You have demonstrated adequate understanding of the fact that your mind is your most important asset superseding any tool you may have in your hand. From that point, it is just a matter of refinement.
