    Wow! That got me thinking as to how I got started and how I would train a newbie?
    Contacting this Group was your first good move and I see you have gotten a lot of really great advice.
    I'm going to add Small Bore Indoor Shooting Club. It teaches good safety and Firearms etiquette. Breathing, trigger pull, accuracy etc.
    Small game hunting a definite must.
    NZDA, Firearms safety, long range shooting in multiple positions. Also sometimes running boar. Hunting knowledge and trips.
    My father used to say, "You can learn about anything from a good book!" I see @Rn-85 has already mentioned Roger Lentle, so here's a photo of a couple of good books.
    As with all things these days, YouTube is your friend for gun cleaning and maintenance, there are heaps of excellent knife sharpening videos, and whole animal butchering.
    I'll end with a quote from Lex Severenson, "You'll learn no ills from the hills!"
