MrShirley Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 I have been shooting clays for just over a year now. Having invested a significant amount in a new gun, I would like to get some proper lessons. Ideally I would like someone who is a qualified coach, but open to suggestions. Sheffield area but willing to travel. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupert Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) Brian Clegg, usually works out of Fauxdegla Wrexham, well worth the journey.[url=http://www.clayshootingcoach.com/and a member on here "Beretta" Edited April 21, 2015 by Rupert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger-Mouse Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Chris Cottingham does gun fitting and lessons (usually at Wortley), I can dig up his details later, or you can pick up his card from Brown`s gun shop. There`s also Dave North at Whitewater shooting ground (Blyth), Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flycoy Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Mr Shirley you need to contact John Needham BASC coach he is based in Sheffield, he is on the BASC website on the coaches page, good coach and a really nice guy. Flycoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just got my new 725, which has the adjustable stock and several butt pads and the adjustable trigger, so ideally I would like the first lesson to be fitting session and shooting at the pattern plate etc. Thanks to everyone for the replies. Also, has anyone used Fox House Clay Sports, they advertise lessons with Ray Carnall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
