Stu S Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Hi all, I am looking for a coach to help me improve my shooting some, and I was wandering if anyone had experience of any particular coaches, good or bad, that they would like to share! Thanks all! Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagsy Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Roger Hill gets my recommendation. Top guy - has also written some good articles for Clay Shooting Mag recently. http://www.procoachshootingschool.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu S Posted February 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Nice one fella, have just had an email back from him incidently! I'll explore that route a bit further. What about Philip Thorrold? Anyone know of him? Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffolk shooter Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Stuart, I know Phil although I don't have his number. Best place to catch up with him is normally at Drinkstone Gun Club or Badwell ash. You could also try Richard Ford (GB International Squad coach for Olympic Skeet) at Parkford, I do have his number and will PM it to you. Failing that you can always go for the clay meister himself John Bidwell at highlodge or even Peter Usher at Lakenheath. Micheal Aldis or young Phil at the Essex school of Shooting are very good as well. I have a couple of numbers so will dig these out and PM you.

Stu S Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Nice one mate! Thanks! Had a reccomendation for Carl Bloxham today, his video analysis is supposed to be a big help to the student, might give him a call too!

poontang Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Not sure if Richard Ford is coaching at mo, since he fell out of trap house at Parkford and broke his arm/elbow/shoulder!! (not sure which) Was a few weeks back so he may be ok, but haven't seen him at the club for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu S Posted February 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Have had a conversation with Carl Bloxham tonight, and I'm pretty sure that I'm gonna go with him for the coaching! Will post up more details tomorrow when I have spoken to him again! Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu S Posted February 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Spoke to Carl again this morning, and have decided to deffinatley go with him for at least a start, and see what happens from there. Seems to be a very nice chap, very knowledgable, and seems quite keen to add me to his project books! We have booked for the 18th March at Sporting Targets near Bedford for the day, at a very reasonable price too! Will post up how I get on!

Stu Ah, that would be a trek and a half from BSE Stuart, but lovely ground. Only shot there once, but had a fantastic day and the tower if you haven't shot there before will make you tremble. What about 'our' own Jerry Parks? Where is JP based Peter? SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
