I, too, am a newbie but as to what kind of targets, paper targets of your choice.
I personally like those that splatter a bit to show where you hit.

And some ranges wont let you shoot target with pictures of people on them (Osama bin Laden, for instance)
so I would stick to "standard" grid or bullseye patterns. If you take silhouette targets have some other
style as backup just in case although I haven't heard of problems with those.

Ammo- for pistols, bring the cheapest brand that you can feed reliably through your weapon.
I occasionally shoot hollow points just to prove the reliability through my gun, but that is an unnessary
expense.

Other good range items include masking tape or stick-on dots that help cover old bullet holes so
you can get more mileage out of a target. Staple guns help place targets - again depending on the
range.

And lastly, check their website or call them and ask about their rules. They have newcomers all
the time and I am sure they would rather tell you the do's and dont's for their range rather than
have to have a range officer correct you there at the range. Plus, it is an inexpensive way to make
sure you have all the fun you can without feeling like as big a newbie.

Good luck and have fun!
