Thread: Where to practise

Most people buy a gun when they know what animal/sport they want to shoot and buy the appropriate firearm to do they job they want, not buy a gun first without knowing what to shoot with it.

What have you bought it for, to shoot rabbits, hares, ducks etc, or to take to a range and perfect the art of clay bird shooting. Once you know what to do with it, that should answer your question for you.

Want to go after game, look for a good farm with bunnies on it, and ask the farmer nicely (like a good responsible firearms owner should), if you want to bust some clay birds, join a club. At least at a club some of the more experienced shooters will be more than willing to help you and give you age old tips to help perfect your technique.

You will get enough practice doing both.

Personally, I think as it sounds like you have little to no experience, your best bet is at a range in a controlled environment with others to help you until you become confident and comfortable handing and shooting your gun safely.

The very best of luck to you, remember your 7 golden rules.
