Yess, I am not ready for hunting at all. I want to get better at shooting.
Here is my plan to prepare for hunting hopefully by November.
Please everyone let me know if agree with my plan. I'm just starting out so I need help.
1. First get my AR iron sights and rear site zero sighted for 50 yards. There is instructors at American Shooting range in Houston that charge $15 for this.
After this should I get a scope on the rfile?

Do not pay someone else to zero your rifle. Learn to do it yourself.

Will the instructor required me to shoot with scope or iron sights? If so, I better get a scope on this AR.

You do need an instructor. If I were teaching you to shoot, you would start with a .22lr at 25 yards. If you plan to hunt using a scope, get a scope and learn to shoot with it. Many will disagree with me here, but if you aren't going to use iron sights, then don't worry about mastering them. Some of my hunting rifles don't even have iron sights on them.

Waste of money in my opinion... If shooting from a blind, just steady the gun on the frame of the blind. If shooting from the ground, learn shooting from field positions (sitting, kneeling, and prone), with use of a sling and shooting sticks to help stabilize.

Next to impossible to practice from the bench the same as shooting from a blind. Focus on basics, (sight alignment, sight picture, breath control, trigger control) while bench shooting.

I wouldn't worry about equipment at this point. Learn to shoot first. You are a long way from being ready to go hunt.
