[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 259423, member: 12"] I think a couple points that other people have made are really applicable. 1. Start early with a BBgun, pellet rifle and 22LR. You really learn wind and drop if you want to hit anything. 2. Same thing with a mid level rifle. I started there with a Mauser 98 in 6mm Rem and burned the barrel out with a Lee Hand loader and dippers, and resulting in tons of coyotes ($50 pair of ear bounty), deer and crows. Many at long distance which at that time was about 400-500 yards. it was all Kentucky elevation at that time too. After that, it really is continued practice. today we are fortunate and I think one of the best new practice opportunities is F class. You get to shoot out to 1000 and 50-60 shots a day. A 308 or even a 6mmBR are easy to shoot and relatively cheap. Plus just about every state has at least 1-2 ranges holding informal or formal NRA sanctioned matches. BH [/QUOTE]
