Quick background:
I'm 21, interested in learning to shoot. I have experience in gun safety, have done a bit of trap shooting under the tutelage of a teacher, as well as shooting a few different kinds of guns through the years.
I want to try out shooting, as it's always interested me, but have never had the opportunity. I'm interested in range/target shooting, no hunting. Trap shooting was fun, but I think I'd prefer to shoot small caliber pistols/rifles. Obviously I don't know much about it, and I'm certain my interests will change as I learn.
I'm looking on advice from anyone local to the Boise/Caldwell, ID areas on places to learn/shoot, and general advice on what kind of weapons I need to look at (or if I need to own my own to start). Basically I'm looking for the model-T of guns - inexpensive, reliable, and inexpensive to operate. It doesn't have to be fancy, and I think chambered in .22 is the way to go for economy's sake. I'm not sure whether handgun or rifle is what I want, suggestions welcome. I know better than to run down to the local WallyWorld and buy the "coolest" gun there, but beyond that, I need help!
Any info on liscencing/safety certificates etc that I need as well, or other things I've completely not thought about are appreciated too! Thanks!
