ABOUT CLAY TARGETSHOOTING
Broadly, the target shooting disciplines fall into one of three recognised forms: Trap, Skeet and Sporting. Common to all of these is that clay targets are launched from a ‘trap’ and the shooter fires at them to try and register as many ‘hits’ as possible.
Target shooting tuition at Yorkshire Shooting Services is about having one of Britain’s most widely experienced coaches, Nigel Hirst, providing the patient and intelligent guidance that will help you to shoot clay targets better. An accomplished shooter at regional and national level himself (see his CV here), Nigel is motivated by a genuine desire to help his fellow shooting enthusiasts make the very best use of their natural ability, and can assist with everything from booking a ground to video analysis and competition psychology. Yorkshire Shooting Services can help everyone, from beginners to potential internationals, if they want to hit that extra couple of targets
ADVANCED & SPECIALISED CLAY SHOOTING COACHING
One of the great strengths of YSS is that we can help even those aspiring to compete at national level, providing specialist coaching in the English Skeet, English Sporting and FITASC Sporting disciplines.
For an advanced level clay target shooter, 'near enough' is not good enough, so we measure drop, pitch, length of pull and cast accurately with pattern plate testing to ensure that the match of equipment to physique is as near to perfect as it can possibly be.
YSS can also provide digital video analysis, giving coach and shooter access to immediate replays on a laptop computer screen and allowing for later frame-by-frame analysis of technique and movement. A DVD of the video session, including half-speed replays, can be produced and complemented with a full coaching report.
Ultimately, to get to the very top level as a shooter you will need more than just the excellent shooting skills we can give you. YSS can also advise on the sports psychology, competition planning and periodisation techniques that give you the edge.
If you need to to be shooting extremely well, and best when it matters most, talk to Yorkshire Shooting Services.
