How To Choose A Good Frontsight Instructor

By Mayra Pierce


A lot of technique is required to be able to consider yourself a great shooter. Time and practice are fantastic, but in order to truly succeed, a frontsight instructor is the key to achieving true success. A great trainer will provide you with very accurate shooting skills, and will tremendously improve your marksmanship.

While there are plenty of trainers out there that claim to be the best, there are many differences between a good one and a terrible one. A dedicated student must always try to find the best instructor they can, for this will also make all of the difference between becoming a good shooter and a bad one. A great instructor will gladly give you a list of their qualifications and achievements, so always ask for this first.

First of all, a good instructor will lead by example. That is, whatever he or she tells the student to do, he should be able to do it and demonstrate to the student practically. A person who can't practically and exactly show you how to do is not good enough to be your instructor. You need a person who guides you through the training practically so that you can copy what he does.

A highly experienced and motivated instructor makes all of the difference. The instructor will not think twice about sharing the knowledge that they have. A good instructor enjoys seeing their students succeed, and become safe, accurate shooters. Finding an instructor that improves their students' skills by sharing the knowledge that they have, is another quality to look for when searching for the right instructor.

Another characteristic that a good instructor possesses is patience. A good instructor understands that the student might still be learning, and might feel overwhelmed with the information given to him or her. A good instructor knows that the student will most likely make mistakes, but is patient and understanding when that happens. The instructor should not place additional pressure on the student.

A good instructor normally has a list of goals they would like the student to achieve. A set curriculum that is followed closely will give the student a sense of direction, and will allow them the opportunity to grade themselves based on their previous experience. A good instructor gives the student progressive lessons, and does not skip steps. A good instructor knows that there should be succession and that this will only benefit their student.

One more thing that great instructors have is adequate control of their group. Good tone of voice, that demands respect, will help the students listen more closely. An instructor that is constantly joking or playing games, is not a good one.

The subject at hand is quite serious, and a good instructor should take it as such. An instructor that cares about his or her students will develop a truthful and respectful relationship with them. A good instructor should only worry about helping the students improve their skills and reach their goals.
