Teaching is a skill. There is an entire industry and profession dedicated to being a good communicator through teaching. This also applies to a firearms instructor. I have encountered many beginner shooters who were reluctant to go to the range a second time because of their first experience. Unfortunately, I think we have lost many individuals that otherwise would be part of the shooting community because of bad instructors. When we lose a new shooter, we not only lose an addition to our community, but also a pro-2nd Amendment supporter.

When someone takes a new shooter to the range, he or she must know how to properly do so. There are 5 things you must understand to properly take a beginner shooting. You must know how to instruct, you must know how to choose a range, you must know how to dress, you must know what firearm to use, and you must know the beginner range techniques.

Good instructors create good students. Learn the proper way of instruction and your students will leave with the skills they need to improve their marksmanship. Enjoy!
