A suggestion for those that are training youngsters, the commands while shooting are very important, in competition, they are all very similar, we tell the shooter to “load and make ready”, they can then load the gun, then we ask, “is the shooter ready?” Then comes the beep from the timer. Then we say, “if the shooter is done, unload and show clear,” this is where they unload the gun, open the action and show it to you for cleared chamber inspection. If your going to get involved with a club and any kind of junior events, this could help to familiarize the kids with what happens during a competition. I’m not saying that you have to do this every time you shoot, it’s great to incorporate this with shooting, kids seem to love the structure. A lot of clubs have junior programs and they’re a great tool to give kids the chance to shoot with other kids their age. I feel that you advance in this sport by shooting with people that are better at it than yourself, this is how you learn. Hope this helps a little and God bless.
