The one with the scope, right? I did like that one! lol.She did like my M&P 15x AR, she hit steel at Battery Oaks.
My current range only goes to 25 yards.Also consider what your range allows you to shoot. If you have 100 yard max a 6.5 creedmor may not make sense. With shorter distances the rimfire makes even more sense. No sense buying a 800 yard gun if your range is 50 yards and you’ll hunt at 100 yards and closer.

I do. I was, at the time, just looking at rifles as something to try because I hadn't shot any. Now I'm looking at them as something that could get me some food!! lol.Millie do you recall us talking about how you would eventually get an AR?
I'll find Dad's eventually....it's around here somewhere. lol.Millie, I would have to agree with the Fool and BP. A good .22 will keep expenses low and offer you the chance to get a bunch of trigger time. You get quality time shooting and lots of it. As you are already seeing with your handgun training, you get better with time!

Excellent! Thanks.@Millie, I've got plenty of rifles you're welcome to try. Let me know and I'll bring some next range trip.
Ok, you just tell me when you're ready for me, with my butt left in Wagram! LOL.The Next time you are here we will get you behind 12 and 20 gauges with appropriate hunting ammo You can shoot single barrels, double barrels pumps and semis til your heart is content.
Then we'll do the same with rifles of hunting calibers. Single shot, Bolt, and Semis. Come prepared to shoot and leave All "Yeah Buts" in Wagram.
See you in a few days!!Come prepared to shoot and leave All "Yeah Buts" in Wagram.

I'll give it a go!Let me know and I’ll bring my 6.8 SPC AR that you saw at the range. Very accurate and almost no recoil. Excellent deer medicine!!
243 is the most under-rated hunting rifle out there. Old ladies and Youth find out just how good it is. The reason I have one is that you can set it up with a 100 yard zero and shoot it as far as you are able, within reason, without worrying about bullet drop.I have that .243 ready the next time I see you
This is most certainly true. It's the secret to maintainin' me own Rifleman Man Card.I recommend you locate your family heirloom .22 rifle and put in regular range time.
The skills you develop with this rifle will serve you well when you hunt with another rifle.

Shooting is the fun part. Assuming you take one down (deer) then the real work begins. I'm not a hunter, tried a few times and never saw a thing. Hung out in tree stands and ground blinds 5 or 6 times where I knew they traveled at the right time of day (dawn/dusk) but I think I didn't get there early enough (probably should be in place 2 hours before) some of those times.Excellent advice, to go watch other women shoot!
And I'm not fond of heights, so wasn't exactly thrilled at the thought of sitting high in a tree! I still want to go out and see what it's like, though.
Ok, you just tell me when you're ready for me, with my butt left in Wagram! LOL.
Should be an interesting day!
