    Coaching

    As an ex 2 handicap golfer, I would suggest reading Bob Rotella's books. They are brilliant. Did Jack Nicklaus need them ? No! However to win now you need all the help you can get. What has this got to do with shooting? Lots! They are both quantitative sports. In golf, you compete against...

    Bisley shooting ground

    I went to Bisley last friday and was pleasantly suprised. It started off well when the young lady at the long siberia starters hut was very easy on the eye. The shooting was a reasonable test with some paticulary tough targets just as you went through the deer gate and the high driven and...
