Range targets -- paper, tin cans, cactus, whatever we decide to shoot at.

Principally deer I imagine, but I'd like as much flexibility as possible for North American hunting. My hunting to date (other than for rattlesnakes) has been at grocery stores and restaurants.
Now fishing, that I have some experience with.

I would imagine I would start learning at shorter distances like maybe 50-100 yards, shooting at 8 1/2 by 11 sheets of paper with bullseye targets on them, then work my way out as far as I can go. But I will do whatever my instructor tells me to do -- he is a SOTIC grad and I know nothing. I just want to learn for fun, not so much for real requirements I have.

Not yet, but that sounds like something I would want to be able to do after I learn to hit stationary targets.
