Welcome aboard!

Watch out for flying brass since it is ejecting across your face. Also work on switching eye dominance. Other than that I can’t think of anything else.

Also, I'm practicing with a BB gun, and I can only close my left eye. When I took one of those hunter education courses they said if you'
re left handed you're supposed to close your right eye, but I can't. I'm all wrong.

I'm right handed so I can't help you too much but you should shoot with your dominant eye.

Take and hold your thumb up at arms length and place it over something small hanging on the wall with both eyes open, focusing on your thumb.

Close your left eye.

Is the thing still covered?

If it is your right eye dominant and you might want to try shooting right handed.
