Firearms trainer interview – Tisma Juett

[HeadHunter]

While Tisma Juett is probably not a name recognized by most shooters, she is one of the most prolific trainers in the industry. Tisma is the manager of the First Shots program of the National Shooting Sports Foundation. Through events like the Big City Tours, and First Shots seminars at individual ranges around the country, Tisma and First Shots have provided entry level firearms training to many thousands of new shooters.

I enjoyed getting in an interview with a non-tactical trainer.

I also had not heard of her, but good on her for being so involved.

Tisma is an incredible lady who definitely has a training perspective that is much different than the norm around here. She is doing great things for this community.

During the interview, Tisma reminded me of the fact that shooting is fun and sometimes should be enjoyed for its own sake and not with the self defense perspective. I need to be reminded of that periodically. I'm glad I know her and always enjoy getting to spend time with her.

She was surprised that I considered her a firearms trainer and wanted to include her in the series. "Tisma, you get more people into shooting than most of the guys in the industry combined. Of course, you're a trainer." was my reply.

Me too.

I reminded myself last fall while doing some woods walking. Ended up out with a .22 rifle stalking hedge apples. Good times
