thanks folks.
at the end, the young guy was shooting at a metal plate with his 22 rifle - over 100' away. Kept on hitting that thing! One thing I noticed about him on times Id met him in past was that he is tentative, and 'not firm' about a lot of things -even handshakes etc. I said, 'Now when you handle firearms, you really need to have control of it. No limp wrists, no feather touches (of course be careful around the trigger) - we can't have you dropping it, or simply not positively controlling it'. I think that helped with the firearms and in another, perhaps elusive way I think it is helping on his way to manhood. His gentleness in other parts of his life is great - and now he is learning how, and when, to use some of his physical strengths - in a positive way. |

Dave,
The 100% correct answer is: You are ready to teach when you have NRA Instructor Certification.  Someone else mentioned FTF and FTE. Got to: Firearm safety... please read to see a good example of what inexperienced people need to know to keep them from going to the hospital. |

In my mind, NRA cert doesnt really mean much at all beyond teaching the basic of the basic. You need real world experiance to back it up.
