Exactly what I said.
My opinion means squat, but I was taught to shoot like I fight. Have both eyes open all the time. If you have one eye closed you have cut your defense or offense by 50%. I understand Latham is a world class shooter, but closing one eye doesn’t work with everyone. It didn’t work with my wife.

Insert title here:
If you want to prepare them for success. Use this as your baseline.
This is the NRA Basic of Pistol qualification. Shoot it at 3,5,7,yards and keep all shots inside one circle for each distance.
If they can do this there is proof the fundamentals are in place. And they won’t have any concerns come qualification time. If they aren’t able to do so, most instructors will take their money and pass them, but they really need to get some legitimate training in before applying for the permit and carrying.
Too many folks who think the cch class is all they need to be a safe armed citizen.

Don't worry about it too much.
My wife shot the qual with a rented 357 Mag revolver, .38 special rounds, with the first 30 round she ever shot in a revolver. Probably less than 500 rounds shot prior with the FNS9 we had at the time.
My daughter has zero problem blowing a big hole in the 10 ring with my FNX45. Heck, she shoots better than I do.

The targets we used were huge. I looked at the instructor and said "seriously?".
He got cocky and said to keep them all in the 10 ring if I could..... whatever dude.
Three mag dumps followed just to piss him off.
