Things To Consider When Introducing A Novice To Guns

August 9, 2020 by Theo Leave a Comment

Shooting at ranges and hunting can both be wonderful hobbies to share with your friends and family. You may even have fond memories of learning to shoot or hunt. It’s a great way to learn to appreciate animals, nature, and patience, and it can also be good bonding time. Of course, before anyone should pick up a gun, they need to be taught proper safety.

Rules

There are several rules that every person should be taught when being introduced to guns. Before you ever hand anyone a gun, be sure to go over all safety rules with them. You can find many creative ways to make this lesson fun and memorable. Be certain that your loved one is well-versed in every single rule before you allow them to go shooting with you.

Patience

On your part, teaching someone about shooting can require a lot of patience. As you impart all of your wisdom, be aware that there is a lot of information to take in, and it can be easy to become overwhelmed. Don’t rush them, and follow their lead. You will be able to tell when they are ready to learn the next steps.

Nerves

When a novice picks up a gun for the first time, they can often be very nervous. As their teacher, you can help them to calm these nerves by making sure they are well aware of how to safely and properly hold a gun. Reassure them when they are doing things correctly, and politely and calmly let them know when they’ve got it wrong.

Age

As with most things, there isn’t a specific age at which you should start introducing someone to guns. The important thing to consider is the person’s maturity level. As a general rule, over 18 is a good age to be introduced to guns because at that point the person is legally an adult and should be able to make safe and healthy decisions for themself.

Supervision

Once you teach someone about gun safety and they have begun their own foray into shooting as a hobby, it’s important to make sure they don’t go out shooting alone and without your supervision for awhile. Keep your guns locked when you aren’t home, and make sure that only those you trust completely have access to them.

Overall, sharing your hobby can be an excellent way to connect with friends and family, and teach them about something you love. With hunting, it can also be a great opportunity for them to learn about wilderness and nature. Once they understand and have no trouble abiding by all of the safety rules, they will enjoy their new hobby for years to come and will pass it on to future generations.
