Definatey get used to the gun before you hunt animals.And make sure you your confident with it in every hunting situation or don't use it.Just because it's sighted in for your dad doesn't mean your gonna hit the target.It's sighted in for his stature.This entales everthing you do when you bring the gun up to eye level.the stock gets cradled into your shoulder before the sight is at eye level.He can handle the weight and recoil. Maybe you can't.If you don't shoot it how do you know your not pulling just because it's not fitted to your body. Never use another persons gun on animals without checking it out for yourself first for these reasons.Your Dad should know better. Good question to ask.
