I am an adult onset hunter and have been mainly bird and bowhunting for +20 years. Start with shotgun for quail or pheasant. It's harder to start with a static rifle shot and learn to swing the gun, easier to go from swing to static. Get your hunters ed now since after covid some states are doing it online and temp not requiring the field day onsite. We're having a "Bitcoiners learn to hunt" weekend this fall.
