I’d like to get into shooting. Probably mostly going to a range maybe once or twice a week.
I’d like to mostly shoot a rifle, but I’d like some recommendations on - getting a firm footing on the basics (safety, storage, loading, cleaning, etc.) - whether that is via online resources, books, augmented with in-person training, etc.
Also when it comes to a decent rifle for eventual purchase - I’m up for recommendations.
Take classes at your local range. In-person is the best, because you need muscle memory, and you’ll have people to correct you right away. And you’ll make friends.
Any cheap AR is a good starter. It’s cheap, ammo is cheap, and it’s easy to change parts. Parts can be as cheap or expensive as you want.
