Let’s look at the argument that military guys can’t teach CCW, then let’s clear this up, shall we?
On Being a Beginner (Again)
Though this post might look like an article about archery, it’s actually about being a rank beginner at a physical skill. Though my goal in taking up the bow was to learn archery, I’ve already learned something much more important: what it’s like to be a beginner.
