Hi PF

That's a good question, one well worth taking time to answer.

I'm not going to tell you what I've got, hoping to get, or anything like that. Reason being.....it doesn't matter. What I have doesn't effect you, so let's focus on you and your needs.

Simple first question, have you ever shot before? If yes, did you like it? If no, how would you feel spending a chunk of money to find out you hate shooting?

Simple second question, would you recommend an expensive first car to someone whose never driven before? If they screw it up, it'll cost them.

Third question, would you let a first time mechanic work on your expensive car? Would you want to learn to take apart and fix your super expensive car?

Fourth question, what type of budget are you looking at?

Fifth question, what type of POU (Purpose Of Use) are you looking at?

Sixth question, do you have people around you that can get you started? Like borrowing a mates gun to see if you like it and if you can shoot an animal (if that's what you're planning on doing)?
