  • Plinkers are so much fun. Great to practice with, no recoil, and not very loud. I suggest people have a .22 and a shotgun (for defense and to get a feeling for how to deal with recoil and sound without flinching). 20g can be affordable, too. 12g gets a little costly and can be a little too rough for those not prepared for them.


  • Point open end towards the thing you’re shooting, press stock into armpit. Insert loaded magazine, pull back bolt, turn off safety, squeeze trigger. If automatic, squeeze trigger again, repeat. You can also find indoor ranges that will have classes usually. Most will have limits on calibers allowed though. Outdoor ranges usually have no limits (or do but aren’t monitored).












  • I have multiple guns. Never paid for a class, don’t need a license. Only cost was in the guns and ammo. Now, I WAS taught at an early age how to handle guns safely, and am damn near brainwashed to handle them thusly (I never leave a bullet in chamber and I still clear my weapons every time I even touch them.) That said, I do need to stop being a lazy ass and finish building my ak47 instead of leaving it half assembled. Still needs a couple of American parts and I will not risk being dinged with an illegally built firearm.
