Recently someone posted a request for info on the 10/22 stating that
they were learning to shoot, etc.  I e-mailed my response directly to
him but now I'm curious about what others think about one point I
brought up.

When I learned to shoot, it was with a bolt-action single shot .22
(the same way Dad learned, the same way...  ;-) The reason I was told
was that you really pay attention to what you're doing when you've
only got one shot (especially when hunting!) as opposed to just
blasting away with a full clip (as I tend to do with my 9mm 8^).

Were others ever taught this philosophy?  Anyone have an opinion on
whether learning this way may be more/less beneficial?  Please post
responses as I rarely read my own e-mail.
