[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1366363, member: 103303"] Lots of good advice here. One thing that hasn't been mentioned is loading the gun for her. Try this after some live practice, and after a lot of dry fire. She shoots, hands the rifle to you, you 'reload' it for her, but randomly leave the chamber empty. Be clear before hand that this is an exercise, explain how it works. Not only is it a fun thing to do, but it verifies if any problems with trigger pull and follow through persist. Stay away from the bench too, especially with full power loads at first, it's a lot easier to absorb recoil from self-supported positions. Another one to try is (under close supervision) shooting with both eyes closed. This takes the visual component away, and makes shooting a purely kinesthetic experience. With mild-recoiling calibers this is an easy way to prove to the body how benign recoil is. The loud bang and jarring of the sight picture are far more offensive than a light tap on the shoulder.
