    My neighbor is about 9 years old. he just got a new bear apprentice and is starting to shoot. He usually only shoots with me and I want him to grow up with good form and muscle memory so my question is are there any activities that i can have him do to help him with his form as it develops. I am only new to the sport so i feel that i don't have the knowledge to help him as much as he is depending on me. Any tips are helpful. Thank you

    Couple of steps here that I would teach him.

    Blank bail shooting so he is not worried about hiting or missing a specific spot so he can work on form.

    Also having him strength the muscles of the upper back so he can use back tension instead of just squeezing trigger.
    Using theraband is an easy way to work on this.
