HDAV Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 I know she gets some bad press but she has proved to be a fab coach with me so far. Bad press? really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarn2215 Posted August 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Bad press? really? I think there is the odd one or 2 shooters and coaches on the scene who have taken a dislike to her and therefore I have been at competitions where they have been sat saying some rather unfriendly things. Could be jealousy though. Have you met her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamster Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 As always it all depends, some chap tapping you on the shoulder saying you`re behind mate and walking off is one undesirable extreme. Then again I often end up watching beginners making a complete hash of things and obviously being in some distress not knowing what to do (I have also had to step in and correct gun handling itself). What I usually do is look around to see if their dad or someone is present and kind of ask them with body language if they think advice would be acceptable. I have never had an occasion where it`s been a problem, some even try to give you a few cartridges afterwards. You wait till they have fired then say something like hi, you`re doing most things right but there is no need to shoot 40 yards in front , then using my fist to simulate a clay and a finger to show the barrel I visibly try and reinforce the picture they need to see and say things like these two need to be molesting each other to get a break, put your barrel here before you say pull, put the bead on the clay and shoot at it. Balls of dust nearly always ensue which is an awful lot better than the guy walking off the stand feeling dejected and humiliated probably never to want to come back again.

Wise words - I think there are different situations and people should way this up before sticking their oar in and I think your approach is a sensible and polite way to do so. If I see unsafe shooting or gun handling I am not frightened to speak up or if I see a novice who may hurt themselves by mis-mounting etc I will also intervene but the situation has to right.
