Rock Chuck Campfire Kahuna Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 69,487 Likes: 18 Filer, ID	Originally Posted by djb I'm 49. Not old old but realize I probably have more seasons behind me than remaining. That said I 've learned a lot about what works for ME, both first hand and through other's advice. If I could advise young ME on a couple things they would include: - Concentrate on 1 perfect rifle for what you want to do rather than wanting a bunch of different rifles - Bite the bullet early and get a rimfire and centerfire suppressor (game changer) - 223 and 308 win will cover 99% of what a shooter/hunter needs to do - Skip the gimmicks and camo is not needed. Earth tones, wool, and layering systems provide flexibility in different conditions. - Pick solid optics. Reliability trumps X's, brand names, and bells and whistles. I have more but these are the one's that really stick out for me. Your local and interests may vary so let's hear your advise to yourself. Hopefully we can shorten the learning curve for the youngsters. This is all about stuff. Forget the stuff and concentrate on HOW TO USE that stuff. #1 is patience. Lots of it. Plan on getting skunked time after time. Any decent big game rifle is plenty but practice until it's 2d nature. Practice in the field to learn how to find a good rest and get close to game. Forget the long range stuff. That's target shooting, not hunting. Hunting is getting close enough for a clean shot. Quit worrying about caliber, types of bullets, etc. If you can shoot the gun, about anything on the shelf will kill a deer. “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” ― George Orwell It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.
