How To Choose A Good Frontsight Instructor

By Mayra Pierce


In order to be able to aim and shoot a target, plenty of technique and a lot of training is needed. To be able to go from an amateur shooter to a shooter that hardly misses, a good trainer that teaches you frontsight makes all of the difference. Such a trainer will teach shooting skills, and improve the students' 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.

Leading by example is a quality that only great instructors possess. There are plenty of instructors that will tell students how to do certain tasks, but will have difficulties performing them themselves. Such an instructor should be avoided at all costs, as they will not be able to help you improve your skills.

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 quality a great instructor possesses is patience and understanding. A good instructor knows that students might be having a hard time with a certain task, or that they have yet to master the information that has been given to them. A student or a beginner will sometimes be worrisome about the instructions, and a good instructor must be able to help the student overcome their fear and help them succeed. A great instructor knows that students will err a few times, but is patient when that happens.

There is a curriculum to be followed when teaching the student which must be followed correctly. If your instructor doesn't follow it, then that is a bad quality since the curriculum contains lessons in the order which they should be learnt depending on your level. Just like a ladder, you start from the bottom to the top to climb.

Another quality that good instructors have is that they have perfect control over their students. An instructor that displays control and respect towards their students, will help the students focus and listen intensely. An instructor that does not command respect might have a hard time building a relationship with their students.

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.
