Brilliant
I really like this one... enough to override the photo of my daughter shooting a PTR91 that was my wallpaper.

IMHO...
If we are going to teach :
1. Girl: Locked Elbows ... no control
2. Guy: Is going to knock himself out with the recoiling pistol
3: Dude your eyes are in your head not your chest....
Great concept though... (Just playing the devil's advocate and I did sleep ina Holiday Inn Last Night)

If you have a better photo, please provide. That's all I have on hand.

1: New shooter... finer points come _after_ getting comfortable. It's a poor stance, it'll get better.
2: It's a .22... P22, I think. I doubt he's going to brain himself
3: There's 4 people on the line, the 3rd one isn't holding a pistol, his arms are crossed. The 4th one has the pistol lined up with his eyes just fine.
If I were to critique, I'd say the one problem is the 2nd person is standing over the 'line' that the other shooters are using. Common problem with informal shooting ranges such as this one.
Still like it
Oleg... I wish I had.
I do appreciate what you are doing... but waiting a day or two for the right photo that can not be critiqued is better than one that can.
I do agree that fighting with a keyboard today is better than fighting with a rifle tomorrow.
But let win the war... get some shut eye if possible.

Great..perhaps suit coats on the ground with people in tastefully black funeral attire? Black arm band here, black carnation there? Limo parked in the background. Is that too negative..or does it amplify the intended message?
They're not AT a cemetary..they have come here from a service.

Photo is Fine
Oleg, the photo is fine.
You're trying to convey "teaching" and those people are clearly learning -- making mistakes, but learning.
You don't want a picture of polished, perfect, model students.
You want people who are clearly learning.
The only thing the might improve it would be an instructor helping one of the students one-on-one.
All in all, I think it's a fine picture for the purpose.

Excellent.
Might I suggest another line at the bottom?
Smaller font: "Learn to shoot. Teach your friends. Be prepared."

Oleg, as all of your pics this is very good. I think it is an advantage to use pics of shooters who are not very experienced. As someone who has done a fair amount of archery instructing and demos I know people, even ones very interested, can be put off by watching someone who is too polished. For some reason people forget at one time the master was a beginner.

1. Agressive two-handed stance.
2. A two-handed version of an old-school style of target shooting.
3. Point shooting.
Nobody but a nitpicking "You say CLIPS and I'll stab you with a butter knife!" gun nut would care.
Good poster, Oleg. Seems like you've been on a roll lately.

about the text: less is better.
1. variant one: leave off "No one..." that's implied, and as such makes a stronger statement.
2. variant two: at the bottom--Teach your friends to shoot. Be Prepared.

Swap "We can't" for "No one can"

Nice photo, good concept
How about "Training" in big letters at the top and "because we can't bring back the dead." at the bottom.

There's nothing wrong with the girl's stance. It is aggressively forward, which is proper for a defensive stance. Locked elbows are recommended by Massad Ayoob and many other defensive handgun instructors, but disliked by IPSC-style competitors firing full-sized, light-recoil guns. Locked elbows allow her to absorb the recoil through skeletal support, and snap the gun quickly back on target again. Unlocked elbows would force her to fight the gun's recoil with muscle strength which she may not have.
