Skeet coaching

[Licensed to kill]

Thinking about getting some coaching so I don’t perpetuate bad habits and can learn to practice better technique. I see there are a few venues that provide such services in Alberta, problem is, most don’t say where they are located and I am not sure how to “ pick” a good coach. The world is FULL of self professed “experts” in pretty much every field that don’t have a clue and I don’t want to learn poor technique (I can TEACH that). Thoughts and Suggestions?

I do know that you can get coaching at Silver Willow Sporting clays, but I have no idea where a person would find a skeet coach in Alberta. The numbet of skeet fields, is shrinking in Alberta, as is the number of skeet shooters.

Don’t know where your at in Alberta but Silver Willow has coaches as does AHEIA at Dewinton south of Calgary.

It would be hard to put a number in the amount I have spent on horse clinics and weekly coaching for my daughter and wife. A stab in the dark would be an easy 300k.

I now ask the instructors to bring their own horse and be ready to give demonstrations on what they are trying to coach my 16 year old daughter on in upper levels.

I am now not allowed to go to horse clinics says the wife.

Be very careful who you pay for in coaching it’s basically fraud.

Matt dryk in Washington would be who I’d call for skeet. At the very least he can back up his shooting with a notable career.

Wapiti Shooters Club in Grande Prairie has brought in people for coaching in the past.

I hope if they do it again, I will be able to attend.

Matt has been to GP in the past I believe.

Grande Prairie would be great but if I have to I can travel almost anywhere if I am going to get good solid coaching. This has me thinking, if I can get a name and number of a good coach perhaps I can muster enough guys interested to get the coach to come up here to put on courses??.

Silver Willow has skeet coaches?

According to the net, a “Doug Manzer” puts on shooting clinics at Silver Willow. From what I gather, he is not from Silver Willow but goes there to put on Clinics. Perhaps he would come to the Peace if there is enough interest.

A bit out of the way but if you ever travel to Ontario there is a skeet school near Hamilton Ont.

Check the NSSA site for instructors. There's probably a few listed there from Alberta.

It might not be as great as a good in-person instructor, but try and find Todd Bender Skeet instructional DVD/ videos. Might even be online somewhere in digital form. They are very good videos that teach good skeet fundamentals.
