I understand most beginning shooters are young.
And I agree safety first but if that person regardless of age can't hit that target when he's in school. Fail him or her.That is the only way they will learn. If a person gets discouraged and quits over failure
they don't deserve it to begin, their immaturity just showed.Failure can be a positive thing, and the best time to fail is in school not out in the field.If my kid couldn't shoot worth a crap but was the safest person that ever handled a firearm and wrote a book on ethics, I still wouldn't let him hunt anything living until that part was proven.Cause he does not deserve it. Safety first always, shot placement is next, a quick clean kill is the first rule in ethics.
