Just a newbie....

Hey everyone! I'm pretty new to the world of guns and I'm still getting the hang of the basics. Excited to soak up knowledge from y'all. If you could go back to when you first started, what's one thing you wish you had known? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Welcome. What I found out was some milsurp KICKS. And I like the unusual guns. But don't try to get them because you end up with a lot of money into guns that you don't shoot regularly.

Welcome to the forum. Trigger control, without a good correct trigger pull of your finger then you can cause a bad shot before it leaves the barrel. After that slowing your breathing down

When I was 7yrs old I was given a Savage break action .410. I spent the next year between my father & grandpa getting SAFETY SAFETY SAFETY drilled into my head. This is not a toy! It is a tool! And then, basic shooting skills.
ALWAYS be mindful of having my muzzle pointed in a safe direction & never sweep someone with the muzzle.
ALWAYS be mindful of not just what I’m shouting at, but what’s behind what I’m shouting at. I am the only one responsible for where my bullet ends up!
AKWAYS retrieved what I shoot, regardless of what it takes.
Never kill anything I don’t intend to eat. Never waste anything.
Always respect everything & everyone in the woods.

Ninering covered your question excellently, I can’t add to that.
What type of firearms are you most interested in?
