Trapshooting
My-Way

Shooting better scores is a choice, and that choice is yours. The old saying, "So what have you done lately?" is never more true than in today's competitive shooting. With the start of each new day at the trap range you are given a new chance to be a winner, a new chance to prove yourself, and the opportunity to set yourself apart from the rest of the shooting world. I am here to help you succeed with that new choice, to teach you a new way of shooting, and a new way of thinking that I feel is the key to breaking better and higher scores, and to help you get your shooting game to the next level and beyond.

There are four things that I believe are important to becoming a better shooting. They are:

1. Determination
2. Commitment
3. Courage
4. Confidence

You must be determined and stubborn in the path you have chosen. Your mind set has to be a stubborn one, one that says, "Failure is not an option..." You must have the commitment to get better and practice. To go that extra mile, and to put forth the greatest effort possible in becoming a better shooter, both during practice and competitive rounds, because it will take you giving 100% on each and every shot.

It takes courage to step out of the comfort zone in hope of getting better. The same holds true in trapshooting, don't give up just because you had a bad day or a bad round, learn from it and make the needed changes to get better, but most of all have confidence in yourself and skills you are taught. They do work!

I can work with you and your style of shooting. We will work to incorporate a new way of thinking about your shooting game both on the line and off the line. I want to get you to start thinking like competitors and not just shooters out there making empties. Depending on your experience level, I will work with you on your shooting fundamentals, stance, hold points, your focus areas, gun fit, point of impact, and your set-up on the line.

These are the building blocks of a good, solid shooting foundation. I will instruct you on how to develop a set of concentration skills, a pre-shot routine, and a game plan that will work for you, and stay with you when the going gets tough on the line. Learning and trusting these skills will take time, but they will allow you to stay focused on the job at hand, and that job is to break more and more targets. REMEMBER, YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF YOUR SHOOTING GAME! I will talk about the pressures and fears of breaking good scores and how to deal with that pressure. We will discuss the right times to make changes to your gun, shooting style, and to teach practice drills that will work for you in the off-season.

I do believe in hard work and repetition and it is going to be hard work to get where you want to be. I will push you on the line to do your best and not get lazy. There is no secret, no magic fairy dust, and that new gun won't help!

Remember, it's a puzzle and all the pieces do fit together. In the beginning, it looks and feels impossible to figure out, but as you learn the processes and the skills of breaking more targets and how to control the mental aspect of shooting, better and better scores will come.

*Remember*
Shooting better is a choice, and that choice is yours!
