Dave, I disagree. No better place for a neophyte. To illustrate: one of Clint Smith's fav stories was told to him by Mike Venturino, the gun scribe. Mikey V. said that he had been handling firearms all his life, but never realized how dangerous his friends were with firearms after he took a class at TR.

No better way to hardwire good handling skills than formal instruction. No better places to be instructed.

Each to his own, but gun games can be scary. Trap and skeet especially (it depends on who you shoot with); I don't believe I have been covered more, not even Cowboy, than a skeet range. The "I've been doing this all my life" attitude is rampant and very scary (at least to me) and I can only yell so much especially at all those SAS, SEAL, SF, RLI vets at my club.

CMike, you may have to leave Wayne County to seek knowledge--"I've been doing this all my life". Some instructors travel (check local listings).

BTW, Dave, Handsome Hoosier is not an oxymoron. Just look at David Letterman!
