Welcome from North Texas! Sorry you've joined our sport at a time when ammunition is overly expensive, if you can even find it. Things will eventually get better. I hope you're able to continue a regular shooting schedule. I encourage you to look into local competition and see if that's something you'd enjoy. It will definitely speed the learning curve.
Welcome from Pittsburgh, PA. NE Ohio & NW PA is a great area. Spent much of my childhood in Crawford County near Canadotha Lake area. Love Lake Erie. Cheap Vacation! Spent some time over in Port Clinton/ Catawba Island back in the '80s. I hope your schools are nicer than the ones I worked for at the Pgh Public Schools (refrigeration & A/C repair).
