Victoria’s advise for beginners:

1. You absolutely must know and follow the four gun safety rules.
2. It’s best to learn the basics of how to shoot before purchasing a firearm.  After you have some experience and familiarity, you’ll have a better understanding of what you like and how to find a firearm that fits your hand.
3. It’s generally easier to develop good habits by first starting with .22LR and mastering that before moving on to a higher caliber.
4. It’s generally easier to learn to shoot with a full size gun rather than a compact pistol.  (Those cute pocket pistols are designed to save your life, not be fun to shoot.)
