[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 2292667, member: 96226"] Find a school that will let you bring your intended hunting rifle. Part of the reason to get some training is not just to learn to use your weapon system but to learn your weapon system's limitations. My classes have had plenty of people show up with pencil barrel hunting rifles. They do just fine. BC uses their own rifles/ammo IIRC. Fine for learning the rudiments but doesn't teach you how your rifle behaves. That's not a knock on BC, just a point to be aware of. For straight up beginners BC would probably be a decent option since they don't have to tolerate differences in student gear. When students all have different gear it can make for a lot of interruptions and edge case explanations, doesn't help the class focus. [/QUOTE]
