Although I've grown up around hunters and hunting most of my life, I was never really interested in hunting or shooting until recently. I'm still not sure if hunting is for me, but I really want to learn to shoot.

I'm wondering how people here learned to shoot. I've heard you shouldn't have a friend or family member teach you and that it is best to hire an instructor. I've also heard that women learn better from other women.

I do have a friend who has been hunting and shooting for years who has offered to teach me to shoot. I'm comfortable with him, and I think he would be a good teacher.

I'd love to hear how everyone else learned and would also appreciate any tips you can give me.

Thanks,
