Going to the range is a very, very good thing!
Spray and pray refers to a semi-auto (rifle or pistol) being shot as fast as you can pull the trigger with very little aiming, target acquisition and safety going on. Controlled accurate fire will beat spray and pray and is a hell of a lot safer.

Thanks for the reply.

Now I know not to utter the phrase as I practice with the shotgun at the range.

I haven’t shot a weapon since I was 18 and in the Coast Guard.

I know I will look like a noob, but would like not to make a spectacle of myself. LOL!
