Nice one Ed. See, your mum is right!If I can find an hour slot free when Im at sporting Targets then you are werlcome to it foc, am pretty much booked out till May but sure I can move a couple of things around for you if needed.
Let me know.
Glad to have helped. Hope he gets back to shooting very soonThank you to everyone who responded to my original post. I showed this thread to my husband and it was a huge part of both making him feel better and convincing him to give shooting another go. He was more inclined to talk about it today and said that the two clays he hit were of the four shots he had with the lighter of the two guns. He's feeling a little better about it all, thanks to time and the support.
Both coaches involved are CPSA qualified. Actually, my original "coach" is an instructor but the "helper" is a full coach. I found the instructor through the CPSA website. I am happy to share names with anyone by private message. I am not going to publicly name and shame, but neither is this information a secret. I have been working with this instructor for four hours now and have progressed very well IMHO. The coach has previously been very helpful and very generous in giving advice and guidance to me. I had enjoyed the company of both of them. I do not want to mix up the actions of my instructor with the actions of the coach. The instructor was put in a very difficult position, trying to ameliorate the actions of a colleague. Luckily, the coaches are not attached to the gun club.
I have discussed how to handle this with the director of the Eastern Region of the CPSA. Thanks to everyone who offered to take it up for me. If my husband had been put off shooting for life I would have filed complaints immediately. As it is, we are discussing the best way to proceed.
I appreciate all the recommendations for local coaches. I will need to find someone new. It's a shame, because I got on very well with my instructor and have made good progress, but you are judged by the company you keep. I also don't care how nice you are to me, I don't care to be around someone who can be so vicious without provocation. When I told a friend about this incident he said that doing that to my husband would be like stamping on a kitten; needlessly cruel and unasked for.
Thank you to the ShootClay community for taking an interest and helping solve the problem. Now there is another chance for my husband to get to know he can enjoy the sport, and that's where I hoped we would be.
Yes, it has.Hopefully this incident has not affected your relationship with the instructor that you where comfortable and progressing with?
