I assume more Dawson Creek area? My sister lives in Grande Prairie and I am supposed to make my way up there sometime to go shooting with her and her friend, maybe we can work something out to get you trying pistols too.
Good choice, I actually want to get a takedown version myself. I have the Winchester Wildcat and it is a lot of fun too.
You could find that you can go through a hundred rounds of 22lr in about 30 mins LOL
Personally I use a bore snake for my guns instead of the rods. I find it easier.
