Never received any instruction other than how to line up the sights. Given BB gun, .410, and little later .22 and turned loose.
What could current you have taught young you and would you have progressed faster?
Having taken a few carbine and pistol course I think real instruction can add a lot of value.
Like Hogan, you dig it out of the dirt. Current me couldn’t teach young me schit about shooting, or for that matter actual hunting. I was a better shot and much better at moving slowly and quietly as a kid than I am now.
