I'm similar Winnie, was brought up shooting all types of guns but haven't shot anything in the last 5-10 years.
I've started off with a 22 and a 410 shotty and love the 22 mate.
I've fired hundreds now on the property and the bunnies love it!
Such an efficient way to get into shooting mate otherwise I would've taken an extra home loan out if I bought something bigger for now properly getting a gun license and learning again.
