Take him out to the range, have him set up on the bench into a shooting position. Have him cover his eyes while you load the rifle with one round at a time for him. Have him fire the rifle. After a few shots, without him realizing it, close the bolt on an empty chamber. The key is to make sure he doesn't know the rifle is empty! Watch him carefully. When he "fires" the rifle, any flinching or jerking will be readly apparent. This is called the ball & dummy exercise. We do it all the time to train handgun shooters. Just make sure when you handle the loaded rifle you keep it pointed in a safe direction!!!

Good Luck
