I've found it best to avoid it completely the week before deer season. I once heard a RO teaching one the most basic functions of his firearm. I'm not an expert myself, but you should at least know how to load your weapon and which end the bullets come out of...
And this is why Australia and Canada both have a system of firearms licensure with a written and practical exam which makes sure that you know this basic stuff before you're even allowed to think about buying. When I got my licence in Australia there wasn't a practical handling session like the Canucks have, but AFAIK this has now been rectified. Both countries may do a lot of things "wrong" in the eyes of gun owners, but I think they've got this one right.
