One way to gain confidence with a handgun, is go squirrel hunting with a .22 handgun.
I use a .22 Taurus Tracker, and/or a Ruger .22 Govt Target Model Bull barrel.
When you get good at shooting squirrels in a tree with a handgun, shooting a deer is in the bag.
Practicing at small targets, makes hitting big targets easier.
Don't aim for the deer, aim for a spot on the deer.
Congratulations on a handgun deer.
