Coaching Young Shooters Coaching young shooters is fulfilling by itself, but then you see these kids put it all together and start winning in registered events. When this happens we, the coaches and their parents, are all proud of them. Recently the three primary coaches for our team shot a 5 X 50 event with two of our kids. The coaches didn't do well, but we were more than satisfied that the two kids did shoot well. Both of them shot scores that got them in shoot-offs. One of them was the B class HOA champ after a shoot-off with several experienced shooters. The other … [Read more...]
Hartmann’s Hints: Shooting in Turn
Shooting in Turn I was in a shoot-off with several others. The referee called our names and I was second from the last. I knew the person that was last but not the shooter before me.

Hartmann’s Hints: Choosing an Instructor
Choosing an Instructor A few days ago, I was practicing with a friend who is an NSSA Certified Instructor, and during a short break, he told me of a gentleman he's been coaching. His student took lessons about a year ago from a so-called instructor that set him up on a path toward failure. It has taken this new instructor several lessons for the student to un-learn much of what this previous person had tried to teach him. It always surprises me when a new or even an experienced shotgun shooter doesn't at least ask others about the capability of the person he's … [Read more...]
