My husband and I have been discussing getting our first firearm, and have decided to invest in a shotgun. He’s a former Marine, but I have never used a gun. Should I take a class first then buy, or buy and learn how to use the gun we buy? This is a major step, as I have refused to have a gun in the house for 35 years of marriage.
If you have never used a gun take a class. You’ll be much happier with your shooting and learn how to correct problems instead of just through trial and error.
Nice thing about shotguns is that you don’t really aim, you just point in the general area of your target :). But still even if the “class” is learning to trap shoot then you’re better off then nothing as hitting a small flying disk of clay is a lot harder then a stationary large target.
Did you get the answer(s) you were looking for here?
