beretta Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 You can only teach someone something at the level they are at the time. No good teaching some advanced techniques if they do not understand the basics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikk Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 I think a coach is particularly useful if you are just getting started so you can avoid developing bad habits. If you've been shooting 10 years then you might not get as much mileage from a lesson or at least it's going to be hard to break those habits. I have bad fly casting habits and wouldn't bother with a casting lesson, I can cast a fly ok and am happy enough with my technique even if it's not particularly good. As far as clay shooting goes I started off with lessons from the off and they've paid dividends. Make sure you get a good one though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 I refresher to remind you what bad habits are starting from time to time do really help (if your willing to listen lots aren't). Most coaches and high level shoots I know regularly shoot with a coach to final polish this bit or that. Suppose if your happy where you are and don't feel the need to improve don't bother same as lots just shoot never have a practise shoot.

Salop Matt Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 In today's economy it is and always should be value for money. Mickley Hall sounds brilliant value for money @ £25 . But Brian Clegg is also a known quantity and I will vouch for his lesson quality. He like John & Scott Barnett at Mickley Hall are vastly experienced. The real secret is finding a coach that you can gel with and who can teach you at your learning pace. It would be of very little use to spend vast amounts of money travelling to be trained by a Coach if shooting is only a passing phase in your sporting career. But if you aspire to be the best then you need to try many different coaches because for sure you will learn a little bit from each one. Dedication, experience and not a little money are the key to success. Good luck in your search. I second Salopian with the positive feed back on Mickley Hall, I shoot there as my prefferd ground and both John & Scott are first class and real friendly. Last weekend I shot my best ever score 80/100 which I was real pleased with, yet I fancy some lessons and John and Scott are my first choice, also for the Mrs who keeps dabling with clay shooting. I recon he could get her shooting straight and without the gun/recoil hurting her. If anyone hasnt been to Mickley they should give it ago. I drive past Hodnet to go to Mickely and will continue to to this for the forseable. ATB Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
