Hmmmm tricky question. Steel shooting is my game. I like the instant feedback from the targets. It's great for target acquisition and accuracy. The feedback from the targets will build your confidence (or destroy it) depending on your perspective. I personally do not like paper targets at all. I hate not knowing if the shot was good or not.

Personally I thought steel shooting would really help my IPSC game. There is no doubt it helps in the area of acquisition and accuracy. However, the one downside is steel doesn't help with that second shot on paper in IPSC. My first shot is usually right on, but I haven't figured a way to shoot a followup shot accurately (and fast). I don't figure the fact that I have to shoot two shots to hit the steel in the first place is helping my cause!

No black and white ansewer to your question. Any skill built fast can be lost allmost as fast.
Build a strong foundation to build skills off of. What most of us want is "Resonable acurracy at good speed." Steel teaches good transitions from target to target. Papper targets Help to push you for speed. Steel is the easiest to get a start in competing. But steel by its self will not make a well rounded shooter. Movment and a wide range of shooting postions help to test and build shooting skills.
But a shooter must have the foundation of accuracy and speed and Steel matches build that more than most any Disaplin
