When I meet any student or help anyone online for shooting.
My first question is: “what are your goals”
The second question is: “how much time do you anticipate budgeting to that endeavor.”
That contextualizes the scope, breadth and pace at which we go.
I use this example a lot.
Sharks and tigers don’t use words or complex analogies to learn how to be deadly and accurate.
But they get specific feedback on what they’re doing.
Even if I don’t explain anything technical at all, I know the technical shooting to a high level and I can design drills to get them shark / tiger knowledge without explaining a darn thing.
If I could use shock collars to the genitalia, it would go even faster…
Plus I have the luxury of firing stubborn students that don’t listen.
