Listy Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) I’m looking for a coach in the North Yorkshire area. I’m already at a reasonable standard but would like to progress, particularly with the mental training side of the sport. Can anyone recommend a coach that’s local. I’ll travel to neighbouring counties if necessary. Edited May 11, 2021 by Listy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centrepin Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 +1 for Cleggy. Never had him as a coach but he comes highly recommended and seems a really nice chap to talk too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Listy Posted May 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 Apologies for not making this clear but I’m looking for a trap coach rather than sporting, specifically fast trap (ABT/UT). Does anyone know of a coach that specialises in this area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know of a coach that specialises in this area? I know some down South but not in the North. . If you want to travel to Nuthampstead (Anita North works from there) or A1 then I have names that come with recommendations. You could try Lee Campion of Doncaster, he coaches DTL and OT so probably does UT and ABT and was a UT shooter. Also Charlie Dean lives near Beverly but I don't know that he does more than OT. I'd ring the clay ground you want to go to and ask them. Alternately ask on shootclay.com where all the trappies hang out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage10FP Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 Try Micheal Meggison at Kelbrook shooting School Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 Last time I visited Kelbrook they had no layouts resembling UT, OT or ABT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely there is no harm in asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 Has the ABT layout gone from the lakeside then ? Do not know if Joe Neville is still going, but he was one of the best Coaches that I have ever encountered. He was at Matlock in Derbyshire and his Brother had a gun shop there.

Rupert Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) Perhaps a call to Rob Hall at East Yorkshire, probably the regions hub for fast trap may yield a suitable prospect. Edited May 11, 2021 by Rupert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 Quote They advertise ABT on there website They used to advertise Skeet some years ago, until I tried to book a few rounds. They said they were considering one, but it didn't actually exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stockybasher Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Have you contacted the CPSA ? I'm sure they will advise you on who/where ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s plenty of coaches that offer relatively basic instruction but none that drill down into the finer details of the mental side of competitive shooting. David Ball’s been mentioned. Has anyone any experience of him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stand over the lake is set up for ABT, I think the controller is in the summer house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone any experience of him? Hey there Listy, Being a yorky myself I am sure if its fast trap you want, Beverley is the place to go. I am also a relative novice being a late starter to Clay's. I have heard about Dave Ball from several shots and his reputation seems solid. If you also look on another thread, Mark Winser gets mentioned. I know he is more sporting but he also does all round at rufforth and they do tell me he is one of the best at ball trap on that ground. Also good advice regarding contacting Rob Hall who owns Beverley, he will know the good ones. Anyhow , I am looking at dabbling with a bit more fast trap myself. Keep us informed if you choose someone and let us know how things turn out 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
