As Jamison writes on the blog: "It can be intimidating, and potentially unsafe, to just go the range and try to figure it out on your own." A certified instructor creates a safe learning environment. There are no silly questions. You get immediate feedback on handling and technique. You practice what you learned the same day in a controlled setting.
