I agree - don't try to teach her yourself. She'll learn better from an instructor (out in the sticks, the saying goes that an "expert" is someone from out of town).
I think female instructors would be the best. They can relate to any imaginary or real physical limitations and can will have the greatest empathy for their students. It's also reassuring when you walk into a room and realize you're not the "only one". Very empowering, and a great builder of enthusiasm.
Loan her a gun to shoot, absolutely. But, expect her to come back and demand something different.
