Hi Everyone...,
I have been enjoying fishing for couple of years and now wants to get into hunting as well, i am absolutely a rookie and has never fired a gun in my life, will be great if i could get advice on how should i get started with it, presently i work in fort Mcmurray, AB.

I have done some research online but i am not sure as to where should i start, any suggestions, help will be highly appreciated.

Thank you all and have a great week.

Not sure if the guy still does it here or not but there was a guy that use to come here several times a year in a motorhome and gives the firearms safety course. He use to park in Canadian Tires parking lot and do the course right there. Once you get the course then send in for your PAL so you can buy and carry guns and ammo.
Fort Mac has a great shooting range also just south of town that would be well worth checking out. I would recommend buying a cheap 22 at first cause they are cheap to buy and shoot. Maybe even a 12 gauge or 20 gauge to shoot some skeet. Once you do this you will be hooked and want a high powered rifle then.

Start by joining the local Fish&Game club, and come out to our range, and meet some members. We can arrange for you to fire some guns, and help get you started shooting and hunting.
