I prey on virgins and take a shitpile of them to the range, usually female.
The main thng I stress on safety is gun pointed downrange at all times. I tell them flat out, "If you turn around with any gun in your hand, I will shoot you myself." When not shooting, lay it on the deck.
I usually do it in an order something like this.
.22 revolver Large frame Very heavy, zero recoil. I run through the first loading cycle, shooting and all. Then load it for them, then they are on their own until they finish the box of 50.
357 revolver/38 spl ammo- 4inch barrel, low recoil
9mm semi (Used to be XD9, then it was a 92FS, Just depends on what I feel like shooting)
1911.
Finish with an ar.
I never give them shotguns or large caliber handguns, I dont even take them. While I explain sight picture, I am not real anal about technique. As they shoot more I fine tune a little here and there, but for the first time I just want them to have fun safely. I tell them to be comfortable. I want them to enjoy it not feel like they have to save America today. I want them to like it enough to want to do it again. I rarely shoot during these trips. When they gettired between guns, I grab the AR and plink a bit.
Depends on who it is and where we go, I will take a Mac or Uzi and let them have some fun after we shoot everything else.
In fact, one of the cuties called me last night and wants to go back. Sunday is all hers
