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.
I’d recommend tech sights to go with the 10/22. Gets you familiarized with AR/M16 iron sights with a longer sight radius over stock.
Agreed with in person training. If you feel like you need to look up supplemental training, look up bad shooting habits and do your best not to fall too deep into them. Lots of shooters bring friends or family to shoot for the first time without realizing they have them, then pass it along to the new shooter. Anticipating the shot was a problem for me for years. It took a lot of practice to overcome.
With the right attitude you can get guidance from almost anyone at the range. From my experience, the better shooters tend to check politics at the door.
