I once observed an obvious first time girlfriend, in the shooting bay next to me, developing a bad flinch shooting a 40 S&W. So when the guy went to upstairs to get another box of ammo, I invited her to shoot my .22 Buckmark. By the time he returned she had already commented that she enjoyed shooting it over the 40. Obviously the guy was less than thrilled with my "participation" but what the hell he wasn't my boyfriend...and sadly she didn't become my girlfriend either...lol Bottomline I hate seeing guys do this to their "girlfriends" and often wonder how many of these women never shot again due to these first time experiences. Along those lines, some KZbinr Alaska homesteader was teaching his girlfriend how to shoot a boltaction .30-06...scoped. The fool started her in the prone position and sure enough the first shot tagged her right in the eye. Give the girl credit, and him somewhat, she was game enough to try again this time in the kneeling position.

As a former range instructor, I can say that women are much easier to teach than men. They almost always do better as beginners than males. The big reason (as far as I can tell) is that the women actually listen to me, and then try their best to follow my instructions. Men, on the other hand, tend to assume that "it's just a gun, it's not that complicated," and they largely ignore me. Sorry boys, but it's true. We don't listen and follow instructions (in general) as well as our female counterparts. Let's all try to open our ears and shit our mouths a bit more.

Took a date last week, had never fired a gun. Holy shit! With a little safety training, and my decidedly unprofessional tips, she was pretty damned good with my .22 revolver. But here's the thing, she didn't think she was doing well! After the second cylinder she was surprising me and I told her so again and again. A new shooter thinks it's Hollywood BS . Kept telling her a gun isn't a point-and-click interface, it's hard and takes practice. Back to your point, we took turns shooting, that's the rule for guests at my range. The second she didn't reload and said she was done I emptied my magazine and started packing. It's their day, not yours. Be hyper aware of how comfortable your guest is feeling and bail when they're starting to show boredom or distress.

What convinced my girlfriend that she could learn to shoot (she had some confidence/anxiety issues) was that I flat out told her, "we're not doing anything you don't want to do, and we're learning at a pace you set." And then I never pressured her to do anything or learn anything, I just waited until she told me she wanted a lesson or to know something and answered from there.

I sat on a log and one of my buddies was standing up a few feet in front of me. I said something to my friend and he turned to talked to me and swung the muzzle of this 12ga right to my eye level. Not to alarm him and risk him accidentally firing a round into my head, I calmly said, “Easy, Turbo. Point that thing away.” He turned the muzzle back out to the trees. THEN his dad jumped his ass and gave him a good chewing out about gun safety. Not gonna lie. I had a brief moment of panic there. Looking down the muzzle of a loaded firearm ain’t no fun at all. 10:07 I LOL’d! You can say that again!

I told her she would probably want to change from the dress 👗 and heels to jeans and sneakers. She said "this is what I wear". As a compromise she said "I will wear jeans OR sneakers but not both". I suggested that she wear sneakers. It wasn't ideal, but there were no mishaps involving cleavage burns.

I taught a lady to shoot. She is married to a good friend and my elder by about 10 years. First time at the range for familarization at 1p to 15 feet she was shooting 3 inch groups. The end of my fist would cover all the bullets every time. Second time at the range a month or so later it was a repeat. So I let her shoot at a longer range like 30 feet. She did not hit the target one time. I shot the pistol to ensure there was not a mechanical problem. Worked fine. Tried 15 feet again. Hit everytime size of my fist. Back to 30 feet not a single round on target. We went back to 15 and I let her shoot from that range and used that time to reinforce basic fundamentals of safety and weapons functioning. I went back to my truck and got a tape measure and measured the range to the target. When we returned to their house. I showed her that all of the rooms in her house were either the same or slightly less than the range to the target. I told if they were on the front porch or closer that is your target. Aim just about the height of the doorknob and center of the door. Wait for them to come to you. If they are running away let them go. If you are in the bedroom and they steal your TV let them go. The TV is not worth her life.

Ok, one important thing I think of is being cognizant of what the "goal" is to your trip. You have to know if your goal is to have fun shooting, or to have a "learning experience." By this I mean that if you are teaching or just shooting with a novice it is easy to turn them off by trying to morph them into John Wick day one. As long as everyone is safe, letting someone "just shoot" for the first time can help them become more comfortable with the situation as a hole ( I am assuming that you will be able to go shooting again in the future to teach proper technique). If someone thinks they are going to LEARN to shoot a gun they will be more open to your suggestions; However, if they think they are going to shoot as a fun activity or to see if they like it then receiving to much instruction can dampen the experience. Just remembering that they don't have to be as good as you when you leave can be an important aspect to your outcome. Your first trip should be about the BASICS, and not an advanced tactical shooting coarse. I could be wrong, but in my (limited) experience getting people to enjoy safely shooting guns first can make it much easier to get them to come back for a more advanced lesson later. Of course if they ask you up front to teach an advanced technique then go ahead, but taking it slow can make a difference in your over all shooting experience. Also! In this specific case there is a good chance your significant other is going shooting to do something with you, and not because they really want to get into shooting. Seeing it as a mutual activity you are doing together, rather than a training session, can determine if your love interest has a good time or not. Conversely, (at the time of me writing this) America is getting a little crazy, so your wife or girlfriend might actually want to learn to defend her self; in this case treating your time like a shooting class might be what is needed. Also ammo is scarce, so "just shooting for fun" might not be a practical option. Anyway, I am open to critique, so have at it. Thanks for reading! P.S. Don't be the D-bag who hands your bikini clad girlfriend a 500 magnum right off the bat and then records it for the lols. Because no.

Can confirm. A former friend had me over to shoot as a complete first-timer and he had me trying to fire while walking/moving around and making rapid hits on target. I felt very unsafe the whole time because I was just barely familiar enough with the guns we were using load/unload and fire them, let alone the Rambo tacticool moves he was trying to get me to do. I am getting back into firearms again and I suspect I will have some unlearning to do.

I'd wish for that at my local. Here in outback Australia my club has a tin shed which is optimistically labelled 'MEN' - inspiring that there may be some reasonable facilities inside, perhaps even a urinal, perhaps even that there are facilities for 'WOMEN'. There are neither. Inside it is dark, unlit and has a low uninsulated tin roof. It is dusty, and dirty, and there are cobwebs all over the shop. If you've seen Silent Hill thats about the standard. There is a partition in front and to the left of the door sticking out of the back wall, just enough so that it almost-but-not-quite covers the toilet. And I use that word - 'toilet' - very, very loosely. The actual commode is a 5 gallon paint tin which looks to be set over a hole, or if not a hole then what used to be a waste pipe which has in fact crumbled and degraded and been filled with ...waste... so as to become a stinking hole in the floor under a 5 gallon tin without a bottom. Lovely. Add to all this the wonderful surrounds, and then realise that there is no electric lighting, no sky or window lighting, and the only available hygeine items consist of 20-year-old newspapers strewn on the floor. I used it once in a time of severe need (ahem) and vowed never again. Honestly, I would have been better off in the bushes. If you have porta potties, for the love of all that is holy douse them in a pan of boiling soapy water and scrub them out with a cheap bristle broom or toilet scrubber. Throw some new chemicals in them, even an air freshener, and soon you'll have a half-decent commode to use if you (or your partner) really have to.

BRAVO brilliant video. Long story short. Once as a CPSA coach, had the misfortune of coaching a "newb" who despite the long session, safety briefs and demonstrations when finally connecting with that crossing clay, in her excitement at not only hitting the clay but showing the men she wasn't completely useless, on smoking the clay, yelped and spun round neatly swinging through everyone else standing in line. Up to that point her safety had demonstrated to be exemplary!!! Lesson. Don't let your guard down.

What a fantastic video! Forethought, kindness, compassion, communication... sound relationship advice. Yeah, sure, gun range advice, whatever. I've only had my first firearm a few months and took my wife to the range to try it out. It didn't go so well only because I don't know how to tell her what she wasn't doing right. She's willing to try again and take a class, so some progress. Advice about the "cold indoor range" was spot on. At least I got that part right. Unrelated, Mr. Harrell, have you ever thought about doing voiceover work? I've watched a few of your videos and you've got a clear, unique and very interesting way of speaking. Keep up the good work!

I saw a few occasions on the pistol range where a young couple comes on a shooting date. Nither of them tried it before, but the guy thinks he knows how to shoot and does not listen to the instructor. The girl is doing exactly what she is told and gets a 9 with the first shot from 10 meters. And the guy cant even hit the paper..

Lol lord, I tell buddies this all the time lol. They're like "oh she's never shot much so I want to teach her a few things". Now you should be fairly skilled at your craft before teaching others, and none of these buddies are teachers. So it usually doesn't turn out very well and their s/o tends to have a sore spot about it for a week or two lol. Unless you can be patient, not lose your cool, and keep her from losing her cool I would recommend never trying to teach your woman ANY new skill. That's my life advice for the day lmao

Australian here. My wife took me to the indoor gun range at las Vegas. It was really gun i shot for the first glock 17, uzi, mp5, m4 and 12g shot gun with slug rounds. My wife and i had never shot before it was a new experience and she did great. She shot every thing but only 3 out of the 5 rounds for the shot gun which was very good considering it was slugs. I did the rest of the shots for her and boy was i sore the next day. I didnt even know what any of these guns were at the time. I was 28 years of age. Ever since i really like the gun hobby and discovered pauls channel and have watched it since. I found it really confusing at first but in time i got a rough idea of the things he says, its very educational. Americans should consider them selfs lucky Australia has very strickt gun laws. I really wish i could own a 5.7 banshee. I would love to go on another holiday to america just so i can shoot again but it is very expensive.

And pro tip: Start with the smallest caliber you can to get them comfortable/confident around firearms. Nothing turns someone off faster than handing them a gun they can't handle or isn't fun to shoot.

On the opposite end of the spectrum is loading blanks in a gun and watching them get pissed when they cannot hit anything, which I did to a buddy I went to high-school with and likes to tell stories about how he was such a good marksman in the marines that they were trying to recruit him as a sniper, so, he gets to range day with myself and another buddy late, so, I loaded my 22 revolver with nail gun blanks, and bet him he couldn't hit a single shot of 6, he claimed he saw the hits on target, but, we knew better, it humbled him for a minute, until I told him I loaded the gun with blanks, good thing I recorded it for posterity.

The recoil likely pushed her hands backward, aiming the barrel at her face, which was followed by the shock causing her to reflexively snap her hand shut including her trigger finger. I hope she survived, and I hope the damage was repairable. Also, this is another example of how practical jokes aren't funny to their targets.
