If you have a center fire pistol instead of a rimfire you can practice without using any bullets. Just make sure the clip and chamber is empty and aim at random things in your house and practice firing and holding the pistol tight during and after pulling the trigger. A lot of people make recoil worse when shooting by counteracting to it instead of holding the gun to your target and moving it back.

Another tip I learned is shoot at moving targets. Whether that is clays or moving the the paper forward and backward as you shoot at it.
