would it be hard 2 start a shoting range?

It would not be easy that is for sure. There are many saftey regulations you have to follow and many precautions to take. If you are planning on an outdoor shooting range I think it is around 500 yds of clear space for the range plus a clear back field for lousy shots. The expense is great also but in the southern and westurn part of the U.S. It has been proven to pay for itself.

There are a lot of factors involved in sucessful archery hunting.  Becoming proficient with your bow is important.  This will only happen if your arrow (spine and length) is matched properly to your bow (draw weight, draw length, and broadhead weight).  Range estimation is critical.  I have found that trying to use a rangefinder is difficult under field conditions when the game is nearby due to the movement required.  If you hunt from a stand, mark 10, 20, and 30 yards from it with orange marker ribbon tied to trees or brush.  Use of sights and the type to use is a personal choice.  Some of the best bowhunters I know don't use any type of sights at all.  Knowledge of the habits of your quarry have a great influence on sucess.  Game animal movements are usually governed by access to food sorces and these change with the seasons, several times a year.  Most movement (except during rut) is between a food source and the nearest bedding area.  Try to set up to ambush animals moving from the bedding to the feeding area (evening) and back to the bedding area (morning).  Stalking and still hunting require a good deal of skill (practice) and an enourmous amount of patience, but can provide some of the most exciting oppurtunities.  Most people who try to stalk or still hunt move way too fast and just move the animals ahead rarely seeing them.  In thick cover, about 400-500 yards an hour is good.   Make certain you always use a razor-sharp broadhead.  Archery kills are made by blood loss, not trauma.  Patience is a virtue after the shot also.  Even if you are certain you made a vital hit, wait at least 30 minutes.  An hour is better, provided rain or snow isn't going to destroy the blood trail.  Speaking of which, you need to be able to follow the trail left by the animal.  Mostly this means blood trailing.  If you hunt in the evening and stick one near dark, you have to have a good light source to trail after dark.  A Coleman lantern is the best choice for this, but a 3 or 4 "D" cell maglite works and will fit in a backpack.  Blood less than a couple hours old is still very shiny in bright light.  Direction of blood spatters indicate direction of animal's movement and size and frequency of drops indicate speed of movement.  Large (8" or more) spots and puddles indicate the animal stopped for a period of time and bled in one spot.  Also watch for pieces of your arrow as all or some of it may work out of the wound.  Sorry for the long winded answer, but as I said, a lot goes into it.  Read any books by Chuck Adams, probably the finest bowhunter ever.  Good luck and good hunting.

I'm not sure if you're referring to the Handicap of a shooter based on their 16's score, or exemptions for a shooter with a physical handicap..?\nIf you are referring to the range handicap of a shooter, that is based on your average score of all the registered singles targets that you shoot.  It is somewhere between 16 and 27 yards.  If you have never shot registered targets before, your handicap will be on the 20 yard line.  As you get better, your handicap will increase and you will move farther back.\nIf you are referring to a physical handicap, such as being confined to a wheelchair, the same rules apply.  Handicapped shooters are encouraged to participate, and reasonable accommodations that do not give them an unfair advantage are available.\nHope this helps!

Well, you take your Mac down to the local rifle range and set it up on a post down range and then shot the hell out of that toy box piece of crap.\nIt doesn't really solve your problem, but man is it FUN!

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

-depends on the shooter!!

I used to have the same problem. Except my master hand is the right. You need to practise shooting with your right at a close range first to control your strength. Do some lay up with you right too.(foot work must be left leg take off though). If you have master your right hand and if you can really do some hang time, it will really be advantages when people wanna block your shots from the left but you switch right. This is extremely hard to block in a lay up or a close range shot.

Well it depends if they are armed or not. \nPersonally I would get out my 12 guage load a round and wouldn't hesitate to shoot if necesscary. I would calmy explain to them I am not afraid to use the weapon.

There are several factors in shooting, such as your height, strength and experience.  I'll assume you are five feet or more and you cannot make anything.  First, start off about 2 feet from the basket at a 45 degree angle Either side, doesn't matter.  Next, start putting up the ball off the top corner of the painted square on the backboard closest to your side.  this will help with lay ups and with your confidence that you can make the basket.  Start with the ball where it is comfortable, either at your shoulder (shooting hand side, of course), or where I do, at the forehead.  Your off hand (non-shooting) should be on the ball for support so you don't drop the ball, but should not help in any way putting the ball up.  Your shooting elbow should be as straight up and down as you can, do NOT let your shooting elbow move outside your body.  Your aim should be as follows:  if you are right handed, your right eye, right arm, and right leg should all be pointing in the direction you want to shoot.  Next, bend your knees, then, in one fluid motion, rise up from the legs and come off the ground while at the same time extending your shooting hand.  At the peak of your jump (it doesn't have to be very high) your shooting arm should be fully extended and at the very end, flick your wrist to get rotation on the ball.  Back up a few feet when comfortable but keep the same angle on the backboard.  Try both sides of the basket.  When you are confident enough, move directly in front of the basket about 8-10 feet away (15 feet is the free throw line).  Keep the same aim with your body--hand, eye, leg.  This time, however, instead of looking at the backboard, this time you will look directly at the front of the rim.  Why the front and not the back?  Simply put, the rim is forgiving in front, but not the back.  if you overshoot when you are aiming at the front, it goes right in.  if you undershoot, it will hit the rim but, because of the rotation on the ball that I hope you have, it will have a tendency to roll in.  Aiming at the back of the rim is a popular way of shooting, but it is less forgiving than the front.  Hopefully this helps.  just remember, your eye, the ball, your shooting hand and shooting side leg should all line up to the spot where you want the ball to go.  keep your elbow straight and try not to let your off hand help the ball up.  And, as always, flick that wrist for ball rotation.  it will only help.  if you would like to see a picture perfect shooting technique, rent the movie "Hoosiers" and watch jimmy chitwood shoot.  its perfect.  good luck.

If you feel safer having a gun around make sure you get some good range time, learning how to aim and steady your hand. First you should find a model you feel comfortable with. The same place that you buy your gun will usually have or know of a place where there is a range you can shoot at. Or some classes, just to learn to shoot better. When you go to practice, carry the gun in your trunk and make sure it is unloaded in case you get pulled over.\nAny gun range/ hunting store should know where to get a CCL (Concealed Carry License) if you want to carry it with you all the time. But you don't need a CCL to keep a gun in your home. (But just to make sure check the laws in your state.) Again anyone who sells guns will know the laws pertaining to them in your state. Just make sure that you take the time and learn how to shoot so if, let's hope never, the time comes to use it you will be confident in your aim even if you are shaking. Learning women's self defense is never a bad idea anyway. Any woman can learn  it. I own a gun but I still know how to take down a grown man by myself.\nI am 25 and I have a .38 automatic and I like it. (Though some people prefer revolvers because if it jams then you just move on to the next round. If an automatic jams you have to release the round.) I like the auntomatic because you can just keep pulling the trigger. It's big enough to get someone's attention but small enough to fit into a purse and doesn't have that bad of a kick once you get used to it. Plus it can make a pretty big hole. If you get hollow points they cause the most damage. For self defense I mean. That is what I have my gun for and I don't hunt or like violence either but sometimes my husband has to be gone and he would not let me stay alone without one. \nWhatever you do don't be embaressed about asking questions and telling the gun dealer exactly what you are wanting the gun for. Keep the safety on unless you are using it and lock it up if you have children. Always treat a gun like it is loaded even if you  know it isn't. Good luck and safe shooting if you decide to get a handgun. I know what it is to live out in the middle of nowhere with only yourself to rely on for defense.

Is it new? \nBolt actions require some breaking in and ideal lubrication to operate smoothly. It's a mechanical device and really doesn't work at its best until all the parts have a little wear on them. My favorite actions are what some would consider a little 'sloppy'.  \n\nPlease pardon me putting in my two cents here, but you should have found out about this problem at least a month ago on the practice range while you were getting yourself ready for the hunt. \n\nWith all the effort and time and money you invested into putting  yourself within range of that old buck, not getting off that second shot cost you a bundle not to mention the missed opportunity. \n\nPreparation makes a good hunt. Check everything and walk thru your plan over and over again, with an eye on SAFETY and SUCCESS. \n\nA good gunsmith can smooth out that action for you and make it feel great. You can find ways to do this yourself. If it's new, put a couple of hundred rounds through it on the range, it will smooth up real nice.

you load up some hot loads and start shooting. Keep adjusting the elevation and windege till you can put them in the black.\nthen remember the load stats so you can do it again.
