The wife and I were at a range in December when a young lady took the lane next to us. I observed her first 7 shots and promptly told the wife it was time to leave. My wife asked why and I pointed to the next lane.

The woman shook like Barney Fife and wasn't coming anywhere near hitting the target at 9ft. It took me a few shots to realize the rounds were hitting the ground several feet in front of the target.

My wife simply couldn't resist. She walked up after the lady cleared her firearm and said "let's go talk". Good thing as the lady was in tears. Never did ask as the wife about the conversation. The wife did say that the woman promised to work with a trainer before shooting on her own again. That promise may well save a life.

For new shooters training is very important. Glad to hear there are those who are willing to donate their time to this endeavor.
