I'm ok with the shotgun/muzzleloader only but...I've hunted there many years now and have taken several deer but the hunter population has exploded recently...so...I'm finished hunting there. Good Luck with your endeavors....
Greetings,
As suggested above, I also would suggest the Maryland Department of Natural Resources Firearms and Hunter Safety Training course. As far as beginning hunting experience, I would suggest squirrel hunting. It a very forgiving sport as well as an excellent way to learn hunting...
In addition to the good cleaning advice above.....don't waste your money on cheap lead ammo. Spend a little more and shoot jacketed ammo only.....no lead build-up in that small .22 bore.
One suggestion....ONLY after she has a proper sight alignment/picture...should she then proceed to engage the trigger. Emphasize a good shooting platform, good breathing technique, good sight alignment/picture (CONCENTRATE ON THE FRONT SIGHT "ONLY") and then engage the trigger. Hope this Helps....
Instructors....looking for suggestions/comments regarding "Firearms Instructors Liability" providers. Any opinions regarding the NRA Insurance and such would be greatly appreciated.
Stay Safe
Occasionally I would hold up several fingers while standing in the back 180* and thereafter quiz the shooter what he/she observed behind them during their 360* check....it wasn't long before they got the idea....
Emergency Reload= reloading after running dry....rather than a combat reload or tactical reload where you would replace a partially filled mag (retain that mag for possible future use) Hope this helps.
