I have posted two articles on my blog about bringing new shooters to the range. These articles are intended to provide guidance for anyone who is taking people to the range for the first time.
The articles are here:
Bringing New Shooters to the Range
Making a Lesson Plan for New Shooters
As background, I am a range safety officer at a range which allows members to bring guests. Over the years, I have seen many issues arise when members bring guests who have never shot before. At the same time, those first time shooters represent the future of shooting sports, so I am eager to make their first experience a good one. These articles provide a framework to help experienced shooters plan the first day range day for beginning shooters.
I have posted these articles on my blog, but my real interest is in writing this type of longer articles rather than blog posts. My aim is to equal the content level found in printed publications. I hope I have achieved that here.
I will be interested in any feedback and criticism on these articles. My goal is for these articles to reach an audience that finds them useful. Before writing these articles, I searched for existing similar content, and I have not found other material with the same approach and depth that I have provided.
I am hesitant to make this post which is promoting my blog content, but I have put an effort into writing articles which will benefit the shooting community, and the material is only useful if it finds an audience.
I want to thank you in advance for your consideration and comments.
