jimmyb79 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Hi all, Just testing the water here really. Myself and a friend are going through the process of becoming BASC shotgun coaches and need to practice giving novice coaching lessons to a variety of adults and children over the next few months leading up to our formal assessments with BASC. In order to do this we're looking for willing volunteers to come and have a novice lesson with us - ideally people who've never shot before. As I say just testing the water to gauge the level of interest before working out the details of where and when etc, but if anyone would be interested then please PM me and I'll get in touch once we've sorted it out. The only cost to you will be travel to the ground and a contribution towards clays and cartridges. A novice lesson will be a maximum of 20 shots, so not a huge cost. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I know a 16yr old who lives in Tonbridge who would be keen to take you up on this. Whereabouts in Kent are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyb79 Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Hi mate, thanks for that. we're probably looking at Tenterden as the ground, but possibly one of the Dartford grounds. I can let you know once we've confirmed dates and locations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootgun Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I'm up for some coaching as well, i only shoot shotguns for 2 months now... let us know please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyb79 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 No worries guys, I'll post some further details when we've sorted some dates and locations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakerboy Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Try and arrange an assortment of shooters,, especially a left hander. You will also need a lesson with a semi auto, and a youth under 16. Remember Male/Female/Youth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmyb79 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Ok mate, that's ideal. With the interest I've had, we'll probably be able to organise a couple of days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmyb79 Posted March 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Hi all, We've got our first day sorted and I've messaged people in the order that I was contacted as we're a little limited on numbers this time. If you haven't heard from me yet, don't worry as we'll be running more days in the future, and those I've contacted may not be able to make it. Thanks all James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belly47 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 would appreciate being kept in touch as my shotgun shooting is not what it should be after many years of rifle shooting. thanks jimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whybrow Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 I am really in need of some coaching. Please bear my in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worzel-gummidge Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 would appreciate being kept in touch as my shotgun shooting is not what it should be after many years of rifle shooting. thanks jimmy I'm in the same boat as Belly here, I could do with some pointers, we both miss a lot more than we hit. Cracking offer btw, keep in touch. Worz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyb79 Posted March 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Hi guys, we're running a few lessons this Sunday and have a couple of spaces as some who'd expressed an interest haven't got back to me. It'll be just outside Tenterden in Kent and the cost of £10 all in- which will include gun use, clays and cartridges for an introductory lesson but you can pay more and shoot a bit more if you wish. First come first served, so if anyone wants to book a space, please PM me ASAP and I'll come back to you with times and directions etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEshooter Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Big thanks to jimmyb79, gave my other half a shooting lesson this morning and she really enjoyed it. Great coach and really improved her confidence with the 20gage he supplied. Problem is she now has the bug and is talking about what gun she wants and when can we send of for her licence.

belly47 Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 good to hear you had a great time was looking to take up the kind offer myself but could not make it today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyb79 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Was a pleasure meeting you and the other half mate. The downside to these lessons is it will generally cost you at least a new gun! Really pleased she had a good time. Hoping to offer a similar day sometime in the future so will post here as and when.
