Are all RSO this awesome?

Question

I took a friend to the range today. She is a total newbie and has been absolutely opposed to guns, even though her son is a police officer. Long story short, I convinced her to give it a try before she condemned it. The RSO gave her pointers and even signed her targets with encouraging remarks. She was totally geeked and can't wait to go again. In my experience every RSO I have had contact with has been encouraging and more than willing to help newbies. Has this been your experience? And what are your stories, either as RSO or shooter.

Answer 1

I was a Range Officer (Michigan DNR) for almost three years. I instructed new shooters on an almost daily basis. It's part of the job, and one of the best ways to alter people's perceptions about shooting sports. It's also a great way to ensure and promote safety on your range. Not all of our officers were so proactive, but all the good ones were!
