Teaching Archery with OREOS
I use that experience as a kid to be a better instructor now. Now, when I say I teach archery with Oreos, I don’t mean the most heavenly divine cookie that has ever had the pleasure to grace milk’s presence. Although, they do make a great reward when the students do a great job. Metaphorically, an Oreo is the perfect way to correct an issue with a shooter. Think of the cookie part to be the positive reinforcement on each side of a suggestion. Consider the cream to be the best part, the teaching moment – the driving point that will ultimately make your student a better shooter.
Keeping a positive environment encourages the student to come back,
and to increases their drive to improve.
