fortune Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Do you get a certificate and badge for the £85 or £120 on completion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Marshall Posted May 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Do you get a certificate and badge for the £85 or £120 on completion? You get an attendance certificate, access to Coaches, State of the art Shooting Simulator and tea and biscuits. A full day of activities, all to help you identify and correct any issues you may have. We have just run a similar event in partnership with the GWCT and the Coaches quickly identified the shooters issues and put remedies in place. Most of the guys had simply mis-diagnosed their eye dominance, they had the wrong stance or gun fit. All simple things, but often a significant amount of work is required to remedy the problem.

Redm0002 Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Peter Have you seen anything Re: ShotKam? My friend bought one. It is a gun mounted camera that you zero to the gun. A red reticule is imposed on the videos taken, so it shows the clay flying and where the gun is pointing (I wont say aimed!). The camera has WiFi so the shots can be viewed on a SmartPhone or tablet in real time. The camera has a G sensor and switches on as the gun is loaded and closed, then saves the video footage as a few seconds before the shot and a few after. Each shot is therefore it's own file for downloading, viewing and analysis, hopefully to help guide improvement. Perhaps a potential future Next Step for the coaching days? See ShotKam.com or ShotKam.co.uk which have game and clay footage showing what the camera can achieve. Regards Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Marshall Posted May 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 At the moment the technology we use is the ST-2 Shooting Simulator. I have seen the ShotKam online, but not in the flesh. We really should get one into test. Thanks, Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Martin I have seen one and used one just recently It is very good, a really useful tool for Coaches and Guns alike. The one I used was American, I am currently awaiting details.

bakerboy Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Do you get a certificate and badge for the £85 or £120 on completion? You also get a lot of help and guidance before you get the Certificate and Badge. Those with open minds will get something very useful and pertinent to their specific requirements from the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben0850 Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Will keep my eye out for this course a bit further North, tempted by the Notts date but it's knocking on 3 hrs drive and also clashes with the Great Yorkshire Show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately we don't have any more planned for this year. If there is the demand we could put one on. Where are you based? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E.w. Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 This is a great course I'm sure, many so called pigeon shooter could do with a freshers course, to remind them how important hide safety is and to follow simple protocol whilst shooting that keeps everyone safe.
