    Not really, to be honest. Practice, experience, and learn from your mistakes. ;) I just shoot when I can and pick up random knowledge here and there. It helps if you have a friend with more guns than you because they’ll be willing to show them off.

    As for the sound, I almost always go outdoors. Fresh air is better for your lungs and ears than an indoor range.

    Get a suppressor. They can be expensive, but if they’re legal in your state, look into it. They’ll save your ears and make the concussion go away. Your shooting neighbors will appreciate it too. Feel free to PM with any questions you might have.
