Agreed.
The training regimen I use is NRA standard, going from drilling the rules to learning the mechanical function, to learning the sight picture, to learning the proper grip (maximum flesh-to-metal weld for stability and repeatability), to learning the trigger squeeze (I use a dime test whenever possible), to establishing which stance is most comfortable for the shooter (I use a highly modified weaver stance which turns my right arm into a rifle stock, but many women cannot do this comfortably - mammary issues).
I usually start them out on a .22 caliber.
If at a proper range, I can have the luxury of letting them handle several weapons of various make and model, to find one that best fits their hands.
Comfort, training, safety, familiarity, and practice = true gun control.
