I'm going to work smart instead of working hard.

I'm going to work smart instead of working hard.

that is a succint version of mine, its the only way mate. I have learned over the years its not how much you do but how much you charge to do it that counts, there endeth todays business strategy.

I hope to get in the white gold final shoot out,and (this will take some doing)get into the high eighties/low 90s at compak. After the game season i will be working on things that are missing from my game,in the past i only ever used swing through on everything and as a result i have a inconsistent way of shooting so maybe adding some different methods and learning when to best use them will help. 

 

[Jay]

That was meant in reference to my shooting training, but quite right it's a good business strategy as it seems to work for the people I pay bills to !  :haha:

Don't give up yet Ed :laugh:

thats 3 now

 

[Choke]

I know where I want to be this time next year.

I plan to get there by practising, working hard each week, competing more, having further coaching, and most importantly of all...........continue lying to the wife about how much I spend on shooting  :spiteful: .

Jeeez Ed, its like being at work. You should demand a swot analysis and a 30 60 90 day plan per target type from all. By the way I have one ;-) . see you on the 14th Feb with my nominated weapon and plan for 2014.

 

[Nicky T]

Goals as per >here

The journey to get there involves the following:

- Planning a shooting budget for 2014 that includes cartridges, entry fees, travel, coaching and hotels where necessary.

- Sticking to aforementioned budget so that shooting is never a financial concern

- Getting used to the new 32" tubes which were delivered today with some non-registered, but good quality competitions like the Stratstone and the Hodnet Challenge

- Starting the year with two full days of intensive coaching.

- Option to add additional coaching sessions to focus on specifics if required.

- Shooting quality targets on a weekly basis in practice and on a registered basis once a month

- Getting out to new grounds and selected additional events (Seminole Cup 2014) for added experience.

- Practice, practice, practice.

Think that about covers it

 

[Jeremy Baker]

Goal....A class this time next year
Strategy.... Further lessons with Ed.
Working on specifics and new techniques.
Each Registered shoot has an individual goal not a number but a feeling of confidence.

 

[Steve Lovatt]

Goal - to get shooters to enjoy what they are doing and dont moan if they have a bad day that it was too hard !!!!

How - send them all to messers Solomans and Winser to be taught how to shoot long crossers and battues !!!!! Hahahaha

I am really looking forward to 2014 running the white gold from end January , classic in June , gold cup 150 in sept and a couple of special announcements coming soon hopefully about a couple more events can't say too much ssshhhhh

2014 sporting goal......Mmm to get into B class! Can't win bugger all in A class they are all to bloody good thanks to you coaching them all!! Stop it Ed!...

 

[SIMON-B]

I'm going to use 2014 to widen my horizons. shoot at a couple of big comps for the first time, get more coaching, and investigate ways to control my emotions when shooting.

And push for A class.

chicken curry no worry

 

[EdSolomons]

That's more like it! Good work guys!

Steve you no me I'm no good on the big stuff ;-)

 

[Ozzy]

2014 into B class , 2015 into A class , 2016 into AA class then spend my winnings !! £800 ...

 

[maddmatt]

Formula must be, set your goal, be realistic, select your coach, again be selective, combine those two elements and you will definitely achieve your goals.

I would also include a few sessions with someone like Phil Coley, get your mental game right and the above will definitely be within your grasp...

 

[Ginger Ninja]

C class now, but want try to make B class by end of year.

Shoot as many registered shoots at a variety of grounds as I can throughout the year.

Work on straightening stands that I can shoot.

Lessons with Ed to work on the stuff I can't shoot.

Phil Coleys DVD to work on mental skills for sporting. ( currently have the attention span of a nat)

Remember to enjoy it as much as possible because even on the bad days I shoot with a great bunch of lads who are good company.

 

[Les53]

Well i intend to miss fewer targets next year. I shall achieve this by simply hitting more of the buggers! But to be serious,i just intend to do my best and have a lot of fun doing it. If i end up shooting well, then i will be pleased,but i have promised myself that i will enjoy myself no matter how well or badly i shoot.

 

[Darkside]

Goal - Scottish team

How to get there? Eh, shoot good enough scores in 5 of the team qualifiers and then a good score in the Scottish champs...how to do that?

Eh, cut out some of the inexperienced silly misses, could be worth 5+ per shoot, by not repeating the silly mistakes I made in 2013.

Be better prepared getting to shoots and not put myself under soooo much pressure to milk cows twice a day, morning and night on a shoot day!!!

More lessons with Ben H, first one in February, all going well at North Ayrshire...couple of spaces going, 2-1 with Ben for a full day, PM me if interested...

Practice harder, better and as much as possible...saving for a couple of traps to use at home on the farm, 250yds from my house, that way I can replicate targets I've struggled on and really work at them and practice what I want, when I want...

Other than that I haven't a bloody clue,
