I have a friend in the Albany, Oregon area who is a complete novice to all forms of firearms and is seeking instruction and advice. If any of you know of NRA instructors, pro gun ranges, good gun shops, etc... in that area I will pass the information on to him. He is interested in both self-defense and hunting, but I am encouraging him to learn home self-defense first. Hunting-wise, it would probably be an occassional deer or smaller game. Thanks.
I'm in Redmond. Not much help unless he's coming over the mountains for a bit of rabbit/critter hunting. After the Spring warm-up, there is plenty of small game to enjoy hunting.

I live in dallas or. about 30 or so miles from him i hunt black tail deer, roosevelt elk, ect. I would be more than happy to help out. iv'e hunted around here fo 50 yrs. or so, never bought a factory round. albany has a good shooting range,albany gun club runs it. Sportsmans wearehouse can give him a lot of info. It's in Salem, on Lancaster dr. about 5 min. off I-5. Or he can e-mail me at vandkburnham@msn.com. home phone 503-623-3602 i would be happy to help him get started.
Thanks, Guys. He's a pretty busy guy but I'll let him know. I found the Albany Gun Club on the web and downloaded their newsletter. It looks like a large and active club. My suggestion is that he purchase a good .22 target pistol to begin with.
