Thunderbird Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) It's Yate / Chipping Sodbury area. Impressions would be appreciated? Seems they only do 'accompanied' practice under instruction. Edited March 4, 2011 by Thunderbird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickthemiller Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Hi I had a couple of lessons at Ladyswood durine the last 3 months, and enjoyed great location its well laid out. a very high tower, nice people, Stuart, and Edward were my coaches. A bit on the pricey side lesson plus clays and cartridges were £108, lesson alone £65. But the same problem I am having with most coaches they can tell you that your, high low behind in front, but don't spend enough time advising you why you missed, take the time to change your set up, it seems to me they want to get you out there fire the rounds as quick as possible and move on to the next one, any comments from others on this Hope this helps Mick the miller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the posh grounds have a culture of charge a lot make you happy but keep you coming back for more lessons I prefer then 1 hour intense technique approach then go practice it home/local ground...

Thunderbird Posted March 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 I know we're off the topic a bit but as it's my post we can! I very good 'proper' coach is Jim French at Ian Coley Shooting School. I learned A LOT in an hour and it's still with me, gaining me better scores.
