    ipv, welcome.

    Keep browsing the site, and follow the conversations. Try following @Been Upto 's progress. He's ahead of you, but has asked questions that should be helpful for you to read.

    You'll need to have a gunsafe installed where you live before the arms officer will process your application for a firearms license. He /she will need to inspect it as part of your interview for a license.

    If you're starting from scratch, I suggest that becoming a safe shooting companion and a competent shot is a good place to start. Most everybody here will have started hunting by shooting rabbits, hares, and possums.

    So: You'll need a place to shoot targets, and after that, a place to shoot rabbits etc.

    Start with a .22 and several thousand rounds of hollow point ammo.
    40mm and Been Upto like this.
