If you really "want to learn how to do it properly and be good where ever I go and with whatever I shoot", then I would humbly suggest an Appleseed event near you. Your AR-15 style pistol won't work, but almost any rifle will.
I would suggest a Ruger 10/22 with Tech sights or scope, or a Marlin 795 with tech sights or scope. Centerfire rifles are also welcome, just a little more expensive to shoot.
If you come to one in Martin, GA (a bit of a haul for you), I've even got a 10/22 I'll loan you for the shoot.
Appleseed events are great, whether you're just starting out, or a grizzled veteran who wants to overcome training scars and crutches (you aren't going to have a shooting bench with you in the field). You can't get half the training for double the cost anywhere else.
Feel free to PM with any questions!
