So what would you guys recommend as a good, inexpensive starter gun? Not sure what type of gun would be the best (shot gun, rifle etc). So open to anything.

for a 1st gun I would say a .22 LR, they are fun to shoot, cheap to buy, and easy to handle. keep in mind if you ever plan to hunt small game using an auto-loader may not be legal. but they are probably the most fun for target shooting.
I bought my first gun when I was 18, a marlin model 60 .22 LR autoloader, from wall mart. over the years I've put a few thousand rounds through it and never had an issue, also gave me a better idea how to properly handle, clean and store a firearm.
otherwise I would suggest a 20 guage pump shotgun. smaller than a 12 guage but all that really means is less noise & recoil. I use my Mossberg 500c for almost all the hunting I do, plus shooting clay pigeons.
