Sounds like a decent setup you have there. Firing the rifle with snap caps (I assume that is what you have) is EXCELLENT practice. Make a small target you can put across the room to aim at and practice aligning the sites while pulling the trigger. This actually will improve your accuracy and is better than nothing! Bench rest shooters, target shooters, even the USMC practices in this manner know as "snapping in". Keep it up, sounds like you are going down the right road, best of luck this hunting season.
