A club gun could work for you though and allow you to skip buying a lower level gun of your own to get started so you can gain some experience and save money for a better model if you decide to go that way.

Apart from the psychological boost from shooting 10s, don't worry about the sights on club guns. Aim correctly at the target (sub 6, very sub 6, whatever works for you) and work on getting groups, then smaller groups. It doesn't matter where they are on the card as long as you're grouping.
Then when you decide to go for your own gun, it's just a matter of bringing your group across to the 10 ring, with the sight adjustments.
