I’d like to get into shooting. Probably mostly going to a range maybe once or twice a week.
I’d like to mostly shoot a rifle, but I’d like some recommendations on - getting a firm footing on the basics (safety, storage, loading, cleaning, etc.) - whether that is via online resources, books, augmented with in-person training, etc.
Also when it comes to a decent rifle for eventual purchase - I’m up for recommendations.
Tacticool girlfriend does some great beginner videos, might find them helpful :D
Take classes at your local range. In-person is the best, because you need muscle memory, and you’ll have people to correct you right away. And you’ll make friends.
Any cheap AR is a good starter. It’s cheap, ammo is cheap, and it’s easy to change parts. Parts can be as cheap or expensive as you want.
started with a rossi ranch hand and then had a mini 14 for a while. would not recommend either of those as a beginner. 10/22 is a great suggestion from the others. if you want something with a bit more bang then maybe a 9mm ruger PC?
Anyone have any recommendations for a specific Ruger 22 model? I was checking out what Big R carries and there are quite a few options…
Google, memorize, and commit to muscle memory the 4 rules of gun safety!
I’d also recommend starting with a cheap .22. preferably bolt action so you learn to aim first.
