Target Reading and Presentation Seminar
New Concept in Teaching

NOTE: This is NOT a target setting school. It is a shooting school. I do offer target setting schools. see calendar

SIGN ME UP NOW!

 
Back in 2005 the Clay Target Academy offered a new concept in teaching shooters to become the best they can be. This new concept consists of a three day clinic.

The first day, all students will work with Mike in the design of a course. Being in on the design of a course will give the shooter a perspective on how to break targets. The student will learn what the target setter is doing and how better to prepare for the presentations that will be offered. This will help the student read the target better because of an understanding of the "what" and the "why" in the course designer's mind. Understanding the target setter is paramount in reading targets.*

*Because of terrain, leagues, previous shoots etc, some clubs will not be able to let us move all of their traps for this school. We will have access to machines to design different presentations. We will design a course based on these presentations we use. In some situations we will use a five stand. In no way will this diminish the quality of this program.

The second day, Mike will help the students break the presentations by using the knowledge they received the day before. Remember, an understanding of what’s going on with the target (reading the line) will make it much easier to break the targets. The students will also shoot the targets from different positions to help them understand that the slightest change in stand placement can create a totally different presentation.

The third day, students will learn about the other clay target disciplines. We will design and shoot a FITASC parcour and a Five Stand plus learn the shooting strategies for each of these games. We will shoot trap, trap doubles, skeet and skeet doubles and learn how they can improve your sporting clays skills. We will review anything the students wish to discuss.

This Three Day Course
INCLUDES

  1. Target reading / understanding course designers.
  2. Shooting techniques / shooting methods / why they work and when to use them.
  3. The fundamentals of breaking targets.
  4. The mental game.
  5. Target strategy.
  6. Chokes, loads, and when to use them.
  7. Consistency and how to achieve it.
  8. How to practice.
  9. Eye problems (especially for older shooters).
  10. An understanding of all clay target disciplines and how they can help you become a better sporting clays shot.

We will cover all of the above while learning to set a course, shooting the course, and teaching a new course.
