Re: Getting Started

Some range owners or workers are extremely helpful and informative. Some are jerks.

Phone calls give you the advantage of anonymity if they happen to be jerks.

I asked at the local range about shotgun instruction, and I couldn't have been more pleased with the results.

You can probably pick up a .22 rifle and do well with it if you follow the four rules. You can't learn shotgun without one-on-one instruction.

There are many members of this forum in Austin and Dallas. You should get some answers eventually. It seems like a slow day.

Re: Getting Started

I'm a native of Chicago also, and I followed pretty much the same course as you 13 years ago.

Pinkycatcher's advice was good. I'd also mention that many CHL instructors are NRA certified instructors in handgun, rifle, and shotgun. You might ask the CHL instructor that you took your course from.
