While these can be amusing, it just pisses me off when I see a guy supposedly instructing his girlfriend/significant other to shoot but doesn't show her how to properly hold the weapon or the correct stance, etc.
With so little instruction, there's a good chance that safety instructions were not covered either.
It's almost guaranteed that most of those women in the video will be permanently turned off from shooting and will probably never want to pick up a gun again. That's such a shame because unlike a lot of people, they were willing to give it a try.

Couldn't agree with you more! That, unfortunately, seems to be the general trend in these videos, make someone young, preferably a woman, look foolish and get them hurt, so a laugh can be had at their expense. Real mature example of proper instruction in gun handling.

xl, you've nailed it well. Guns are lots of fun, but they most certainly are not toys, and this sort of business using guns as a prop for horseplay or other foolishness is not good at all.
