Agreed, I just know that it is human nature to do what we want ( our inner brat....), so I don't worry as much about that. I spent the afternoon at the gun range to make my inner brat happy (it worked, LOL) , but I also taught a Lady how to shoot her concealed carry pistol. The instruction she had been given didn't work for her, so I showed her a modified crush grip that allowed her to control! This allowed me to show her how to squeeze the trigger, and hit the target.

A friend was given a lump of rust that turned out to be a 36 calibre Colt Navy replica of a 1861 black powder pistol. I've been walking him through a recovery and repair cycle. Not perfect yet, but we were able to shoot it yesterday, he was thrilled!

It was fun for me, to watch them grow. So it does all round out in the long run. I got one of mine that was having trouble to get it to cycle properly...to cycle, and found my shoulder was finally up to a real recoil. My Son was able to join us after he got off work, and one of the other shooters came over to me and told me he was Good! Nice to hear.

Asking questions can be a nightmare for me right now, since I lost her in April! Did I do all I could? Those questions are dark and numerous, and can't be answered this side of sanity! My head knows I did it right, but my heart....

So external focus helps right now, so I'm buying SCUBA gear.
