Thread: city kids and shooting

@ Ben
It’s actually fairly common. When I was first teaching my partner how to shoot, she did the same thing.
Watching other first time shooters since, I notice the same thing.

I think once we have been shooting for a long time, it’s easy to forget what it was like holding a rifle the first time. Especially as for some of us the first experience was of a rifle that was too big, so we grew into our technique over time.

When I was teaching my partner, I didn’t have the answers to some questions regarding hold and position until I took hold of the rifle and observed myself.

What I realised is that teaching a newbie is a bit of an art where it’s easy to forget to teach the parts we do without thinking.
