Number one is "Never point a loaded weapon at someone unless you plan on killing them".

I go with a bolt action; Remington 700, Savage's model 16, or the model 10/110 also from Savage.  All rifles from Savage come from the factory ready for optic sights(scopes) and have the bbl floated(from the factory.  Floated bbl's are more acurate.  Don't look at price when looking for ammo.  You get what you pay for.  Premium ammo costs more but it shoots and performs better.  Save the cheap stuff for practice.  When it comes to caliber, here are my picks: .270 Winchester Short Magnum(my round of choice that I have killed 2 Caribou and a Dall Sheep in Alaska with; very fast, very accurate to well over 500 meters{I've done 1MOA goups at 800m durring practice a couple of times, it's hard to find a civillian range that has the ability and space to let you shoot past 200m.... big brother and I just went out into the AZ desert somewhere and shot}, enough ass to kill all game but Kodiak bear and probibly moose), .30-06 Springfield(old but old for a reason... IT WORKS!), .308 Winchester(7.62x51, the round of choice for precision Haji hunting and US med. machine guns), .300 Winchester Magnum(hits hard, shoots straight, requires getting used to the recoil, will kill anything, excellent round overall), .270 Winchester(another good all around cartiridge, it's kinda a small .30-06, been around for a while and that means ammo is readily available), and any variant of 7mm(accurate and powerful, but I don't have much experience with it.  I just know some guys that love it).  Don't go for any 7.62x39.  That round loses alot of ass/accuracy after 300 meters.  Train yourself to be surgical at 500 and you will be golden come hunting season.  It's the Indian not the arrow my friend.

It says NRA4EVER\n\nThey asked it as a quiz question in the episode named "The Simpson's 138th Episode Spectacular"\n\nBUT I just went to search for something to back me up and I found this. I'm not sure how true it is, but have a read anyway! http://www.moviemistakes.com/tv3501/trivia

Shooting skeet and clay pigions is probly the best way to gain accuracy.....also....practice, practice, practice....you can have someone tell you how to shoot all they want, but you will not gain anything until you shoot....its going to take time and lots of shells....you will also find a day and the shooting range a good way to have a good time and also spend time with your family(if they shoot also)\n\n1.  Make sure you are using the same gun everytime....each gun will shoot just a little differant.\n\n2.  Make sure to shoot the same way every time....practice rasing the gun to the same position on your shoulder and holding the gun the same way every time you pull the trigger....this will keep you consistant, which is very important when shooting accurate....\n\n3.  Try to use the same type of shells....different types of shells will have different speeds and loads....affecting the way they shoot.....also remember dove loads will usually be 7 or 8 shot....and they will shoot differant than say a 4-5 shot you would use for pheasant....\n\n4.  Do not get frustrated if you miss....that will only make things worse....enjoy shooting, and practice, you will get better with time..\n\nThey answer before mine also makes a good point....flying birds are a lot different that targets....so once you have the basics at the range you will still need practice at the real thing so do not get discouraged if you hit 9 out of 10 clay targets and then only hit 3 out of 10 birds....you will get better with time...\n\nand don't listen to all those anti-hunters....dove is great on the table and fun to hunt....just eat what you shoot or make sure you know someone who will take the meat if you don't like it.....most of all enjoy the time outdoors and respect the game laws and ethics of hunting....and GOOD LUCK on a great hunting season.

In the area where I live, there are Gun Safety Education classes where a person can learn this kind of thing.  I took the class along with a local Boy Scout troop.  You can contact the NRA (National Rifle Association), who should have certified instructors in your area.\n\nI don't own any guns and I don't really like shooting for fun or anything like that, but I agree with you that it's important to learn.

Yes. Uncle Sam needs you. If you can hit a rabbit from that range, sniping would be a piece of cake.

An Archery range or Bow shop\n\nIf you are a kid ask your parents if you can go to a summer camp this summer.\n\nSee if there is a SCA (Society for Creayive Anachronism - medieval reenactment) group on your area - you have agood chance of someone who is able to at least give you the basics

Hope this answers your question.\n\nPRACTICE OF FIRING THREE RIFLE  \nVOLLEYS OVER THE GRAVE: \n\nThis practice originated in the old custom of halting the fighting to remove the dead from the battlefield. Once each army had cleared its dead, it would fire three volleys to indicate that the dead had been cared for and that they were ready to go back to the fight. The fact that the firing party consists of seven riflemen, firing three volleys does not constitute a 21-gun salute. \n\n21-GUN SALUTE: \n\nAll personal salutes may be traced to the prevailing use in earlier days to ensure that the saluter placed himself in an unarmed position. Salute by gunfire is a most-ancient ceremony. The British for years compelled weaker nations to make the first salute, but in time international practice compelled "Gun for Gun" in the principle of an equality of nations. \n\nIn the earliest days, seven guns was a recognized British National Salute. Those early regulations stated that, although a ship could fire only seven guns, the forts could fire for honors three shots to one shot afloat. In that day powder of sodium nitrate was easier to keep on shore than at sea. In time, when the quality of gun powder improved by the use of potassium nitrate, the sea salute was made equal to the shore salute -- 21 guns as the highest national honor. Although for a period of time, monarchies received more guns than republics, eventually republics claimed equality. \n\nThere was much confusion caused by the varying customs of maritime states, but finally the British government proposed to the United States a regulation that provided for "Salute to be Returned Gun for Gun." The British at that time officially considered the international salute to be 21 guns and the United States adopted the 21-gun and "Gun for Gun Return" August 17, 1875. Previous to that time, our national salute was one gun for each state. The practice was also a result of usage -- John Paul Jones saluted France with 13 guns (one for each state) at Quiberon Bay when the Stars and Stripes received its first salute. This practice was not authorized until 1810. \n\nBy the admission of states to the Union, the salute reached 21 guns by 1818. In 1841, the national salute was reduced to 21 guns. In fact, the 1875 adoption of the British suggestion because a formal announcement that the United States recognized 21 guns as an international salute.

Because the military believes in shoot first, ask questions later.
