>Harv, I strongly recommend at least one day of lessons before beginning. Check with a local club and see if they have someone that can get you started off safely. Some clubs have members who will do this for free or they may refer you to someone who may charge for their time. After that the books and videos are helpful. I like the video by Del Stubbs for beginners. If you join a club they will probably have this video in their library.
