Welcome aboard. As stated, there's a lot of knowledge with this group. To give you the most help, the first thing you need to do is decide which way you'd like to go in shooting. Rifles, smoothbores, pistols and revolvers each have their own little foibles. Lot will depend on whether you're in this for hunting or target shooting, etc. Good luck and do have fun. As questions come up, please feel free to ask. :thumbsup:
