    Teaching newbie target shooters to use a scope

    What are the best ways you guys have found to do this ?

    We run a intro to target shooting series and so far it has mostly been focussed on aperture sights. Put the rifle on a rest, explain how to line up the aiming mark circle on the target with the front and rear rings, and then focus on good trigger pull. Easy, peasy...

    For some reason it seems much harder to get newbies to understand how to shoot using a scope.

    Interested to hear what works for you...

    Ensure correct head position to get clear sight picture, no black half moons etc
    Focus the eyepiece for their eye
    Check parallax,wobble head with no target movement

    Later on we'd need to teach them about MOA, which way the turrets move etc, but this is just to get them shooting consistently...
