Qualities Of 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.

There are plenty of differences between a good trainer and a bad one. As a student, one should inform themselves of the qualities and skills a trainer possesses, as to make a correct decision. A good trainer will offer a list of their skills and abilities for the student to test, so that the student can determine if it would be a right fit. This piece will discuss the qualities that make a good instructor in the following paragraphs.

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 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.

A good front sight instructor will build a respectful and lasting relationship with their students. Building a long lasting relationship based on honesty and respect, will help the students develop their marksmanship skills even further.
