Am I alone !

having had half a dozen lessons, and just obtained Cert, been out on my own on four occasions shooting 100 clays on each occasion at

various sporting targets and best I have acheived is 15 !

where am I going wrong or am I expecting to much to soon ?

Hi ammo

When having lesson,are you hitting the clays better than on your own.If so  pal up with a couple of experience shooters and 

let them help you.

Could be by going solo can make you tense and start aiming the gun and losing self confidence,rember to relax and look at 

clay not the barrels.

Now expert but done it myself,relax and be natural.

6 lessons and only hitting 15. I would find another coach.

If i'd have know those sort of scores were being reached I'd charge double!!!

 

[shredder]

Depends who is giving the lessons. is it a established coach/shooter or just someone who has done a coaches course.  6 lessons in I would be expecting to hit way more than 15 out of 100. I had 1 lesson with a decent coach and he had me hitting stuff I was struggling with almost immediately.

Where do you shoot?   Perhaps you are not understanding the targets at these other shoots.  There could be so many reasons.

You are not alone.  I only score 10 - 15 on a 50 bird round and have been shooting for over a year.  A couple of lessons early on helped but my most recent outing with an instructor didn't see any improvement.  I guess that my hope is that one day it will just 'click' and I will get better.

Define lesson/coach please,as this can range from commercially motivated club owner using well meaning members to impart knowledge to  badge collector coaches with no pedigree to full time championship winning proven track record individuals with or with out badges, and anything inbetween

Where do you take the lesson? at your club? on the try stands? at a proper ground? (please indicate your location) does it go well on these lessons?

To give you a comparison, I'm still waiting for my cert, I've had a similar amount of lessons and I shot 56/80 last weekend. I'd say change your instructor and get them to treat you as you've never shot before, checking eye dominance etc. and see what happens.

The thing that got me to click was to look at the clay and not the end of the gun!

How hard are the birds you are shooting at? How fast and how near? 

Are you shooting gun up or down?

Are you using solo delay? 

Are you shooting singles, on report pairs or simultaneous pairs?

All these things affect how many you will hit. 

 

[ips]

shoot easy stuff first otherwise you will get demoralized. I find whichever discipline your shooting if you hit a bad patch go back a step so you can hit targets again then move on slowly to the harder stuff.

 

[Brand New]

Single malt being the harder stuff?

 

[ips]

er, yep ?

Plenty of questions  in response to your request here, no answers or response despite being back at least once, last time 11 hours ago.

 

[ips]

yes quite annoying when an op does not respond ?

One wonders whether his reaction times are at fault.
