RemyBolt 420 Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 My top tip, take your time and absorb knowledge like a sponge. One of the most obvious things, practice, practice, practice and more practice. But practice all elements of hunting, whether shooting, concealment, fieldcraft, and everything else. Try and get friendly with some guys from the shooting club. They'll be able to help you out a lot. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteRabbit 112 Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Welcome to the forum bud, Remy is a wise guy and he has a good tip to take in. Personally, I'd find myself an open rifle range where you're exposed to the elements and stick to going all year round, on a regular basis. With the seasons changing, different winds speeds/directions, temperatures, etc. It will all impact on your shooting and you'll become a better marksman than someone firing indoors. If they have static targets at different distances, try to zero in at different ranges and learn how far away that is as best as you can- for when it comes to being out in the field. As for permissions, there's quite a few topics (there's one on 'general talk') for you to take some experienced hints and tips from all members and all sporting backgrounds. There's plenty to read upon and join in with on the forum, so, we hope you enjoy you're stay. White Quote Link to post Share on other sites
