1. We fix a lot of "broken" firearms with cleaning and lubrication.
2. The uneducated shoot better than the self learners.
3. Old men have no trigger finger discipline. ("I survived, let's see if you can." Jerry Seinfeld)
4. I thought I'd heard all the myths then I was told this, "Don't worry, I won't dry fire it and crystallize the firing pin."
5. I'm surprised how many regular shooters, even Police, have terrible sight alignment and shoot too high.
6. I'm surprised by how many people expect me to know the most obscure facts about every firearm ever made.
7. I'm pleasantly surprised that we've only banned one person, and have not had any NDs.
8. I'm pleasantly surprised by how many young men are into WWII firearms. (Video games have made them popular with the youth.)
9. Hobby ARs deserve their reputation.
It's been a great experience, and I've learned so much; especially about how to teach people to shoot and handle firearms.
It took about 6 months of brutal beatings to get me to stop saying "weapon."
BUt I'm quitting in a few months to be an Army JROTC instructor at a high school with 400 Cadets. God help me.
