In reply to Mike Sedgwick. That is great strategy. Safety, operation and marksmanship are skill sets that transcend skill level. You can never know too much about these subjects.

It takes good instruction to be a good instructor. Practice what you instruct and instruct the way you practice. You cannot instruct properly if you’re not practicing properly!

You are so right. I teach basic skills. That’s it. Now I was a police officers many years ago. But, I no longer practice those skills to keep them “duty sharp.” Most of my students are Scouts with an adult leader thrown in from time to time. Therefore my focus is safety , respect and responsibility. My thought is give them a good solid base so that down the road should they choose, advanced training will come easier.
