I went shooting once. Hated the handguns. Hated them. I just couldn't get used to the noise and would flinch.

However I absolutely loved the rifles, especially the one with a scope. Wouldn't mind some real trainin', though. Bet Rosie would too. You and g'nad between you should work up a course for us n00bs.

What I learned in that class is much better for getting new people into handguns. It turns out that handing someone a big gun and then laughing when it scares the cr@p out of them is NOT the best way to teach. Who knew?

The only real shooting I've ever done was qualifying with an M-16 in the Air Force. I know next to nothing about handguns and such, and haven't yet found someone who's willing to explain stuff from square one without either talking over my head in order to sound superior or else dumbing things down to the point where I learn nothing. Hoping Shootmoot won't involve either of those things! ;-)
