I'm fairly skilled with a rifle after some schooling from the USMC but mostly from lots of practice. my cousin wants to shoot well. he has a good rifle but bad habits and results. I also want to be more involved with my nephew and neice and teach them to shoot with a 10/22. where do you start with teaching a new shooter or an unskilled shooter with two much time learning bad habits? safety training has been done. i figured trigger control and building a stable position prone or with only a bag and maybe a bipod. i only use a harris bipod and a cabelas rear bag for fclass outings and do pretty good. monkeying around with soda cans i just go standing or prone unsupported. im not sure how to start training folks up to shoot with precision

I always used the military manuals and had them read them. It makes a great deal of sense to me and a good start point for them.

You gotta walk before you run. You mention this person has bad habits. Back to the basics will help establish good habits. As you know, shooting is all technique and if your technique isn’t solid you’re never getting beyond a certain point.
