NEW TO THE SPORT

[CASILVA43]

HELLO, MY NAME IS CARLOS. I WORK AT BASS PRO SHOPS IN THE ARCHERY DEPT. I AM AN AVID BOWHUNTER. I AM NEW TO THE SPORT. I BOUGHT A 45-90 PEDERSOLLI SHARPS. I HAVE HAD THE GUN FOR 3 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER SHOT THE GUN. I WAS HOPING TO FIND SOMEONE IN THE DALLAS AREA WHO WOULD BE WILLING TO MEET UP SOME WEEKEND TO SHOW ME HOW THEY WORK. I KNOW PRACTICALLY NOTHING ABOUT GUNS IN GENERAL EXCEPT HOW TO LOAD THEM AND PULL THE TRIGGER. I CAN'T EMPHASIZE HOW IGNORANT I AM TO THE SPORT, BUT MY PASSION IS STRONG. IT WOULD BE A BIG HELP IF SOMEONE WOULD BE WILLING TO MEET ONE WEEKEND. I HAVE ONE BOX OF BULLETS I BOUGHT FROM BUFFALO ARMS. I NEED HELP LEARNING HOW TO SIGHT THE GUN IN AND PROPER CARE FOR THE GUN AFTER SHOOTING. LATER, I WOULD NEED HELP IN LEARNING HOW TO RELOAD. I HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT DIES AND A PRESS. HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. IF YOU ARE EVER IN BASS PRO IN GRAPEVINE, PLEASE STOP BY AND SAY HELLO.

THANK YOU,

CARLOS

Carlos one thing you can do is read about firearms, and shooting before you do it. Maybe you could join a gun club, you'd get lots of help, and safety training there.
The good thing about your rifle is the fact you can shoot readily available factory ammunition.

Have fun, and welcome to a great sport.
Dave.
