Just a brief background on myself. I'm a 30 year old with limited exposure to firearms and/or shooting. I've only gone to a shooting range a few times with my father and brother in-law, one being retired law enforcement and the other currently working in law enforcement. After going with them a few times shooting I've decided to invest my own time and effort into shooting as a hobby/sport.
I'm hoping to get out and shoot more and more but man can life get busy! Practice is always best, I know that.
As for what I'm looking to get out of shooting first off is knowledge. I don't just wanna shoot I wanna learn about the firearms, ammo and all other aspects. But improving my overall skill is the first thing I'm looking to do. With my limited experience with firearms I know that every time I'm at the range will help. Baby steps I guess, gotta learn how to crawl before I can walk or run.
I can see myself enjoying shooting as a recreational hobby, golf and fishing aren't my thing that's for sure. Will I try to do it in a competitive setting, when I feel I'm comfortable enough I'd like to try, can't hurt.
With all that said, maybe too much. What would be a gun place to start in terms of a handgun?
