I just went shooting for the first time!
*UPDATE*
Just got back from shooting, it was tons of fun. I short an assortment of rifles and a pistol. I think I prefer rifles to pistols but I'm not sure. It was scary at first but when I relaxed it was okay. I think I'm going to look into gun ownership now. I didn't go shooting at a range. I went with my brother and his coworkers. His coworkers are pretty knowledgeable gun people. We also shot on his coworkers land in the middle of nowhere.

6 RepliesTo be honest unless you are getting a gun for home defense or self defense there isn't much point to getting one.

5 RepliesAbsolute biggest thing, as mentioned is safety. I'm sure the person taking you will mention proper firearms etiquette, whether you are indoors or at an outdoor range. Biggest things are: Always keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction which would be down range when at the line. Or, pointed downward when approaching the shooting line. Even while not in use/unloaded it's good practice to keep your firearms pointed down range. If you have a failure to fire/eject, drop the mag and rack the slide/pull charging handle. If the round ejects/cycles properly it's safe to insert the mag and continue. If you are unable to free the round from the chamber, ask for assistance from an experienced shooter. Wear good ear protection. It's also common courtesy to make sure anyone else in the immediate area also has ear protection on before shooting. This one pertains more to outdoor shooting. If you want to go out and change your targets. Be sure everybody shooting is aware you intend to change targets. Typically folks will finish off their mags and then wait for you to proceed. It's also advised to not handle firearms, or load mags while folks are downrange. Be safe and have fun!

Congrats. A good fireArm lasts more than a lifetime as I have my great grandfather's. invest in safety mindset. Good eye and ear protection. When you learn and enjoy firearms safely I think it is your responsibility down the road to teach and give this gift to another noob

Welcome to the club. Hopefully you can help educate others in the future on why guns aren't as bad as they're made out to be. Rifles are a lot more fun than pistols but a good sidearm is a valuable piece of equipment. If I could make a suggestion: Springfield XD and Glock are two excellent "first gun" pistols and they'll last a lifetime.

Fun as hell isn't it? Don't rush into a bad purchase, research everything you think you may be interested in before taking that leap. I never thought I'd own a Croatian firearm but I did my homework and ended up with a Springfield XD. Keep shooting, know your firearm, and know how to store and maintain it responsibly my friend.
