These lessons are for both boys and girls between the ages of 12 - 16. We will use either a 20 Gauge or 12 Gauge shotgun as appropriate to the individual along with the option of low noise / low recoil cartridges.
We will asses the physical build of any youngster who may be interested in taking up shooting so that we can be confident that they will be able to cope with the shotgun used in their lesson.

You have been shooting for some time. You have a good shooting stance and style, your gun fits you well, you use sensible chokes and suitable cartridges. You used to enjoy shooting because you were successful at your sport.
Nothing appears to have changed but nowadays your results for game or clays are disappointing compared to a few years ago. You are not enjoying shooting as much and you are quite happy if there is an excuse to avoid a shooting invitation from your friends.
Maybe you want to quit shooting altogether as you realise that the good days are fewer and fewer and at the moment you cannot work out what is going wrong.

As we get older, into our mid 40s and upwards, many of us have eyes that are changing over time.
When we start to use prescription spectacles for the first time or even when we have a new prescription there can be a drop in our shooting performance.
Stigmatism, Cataracts, Glaucoma, Macular Degeneration or Long / Short Sightedness are conditions that can that develop with age. We may not realise that our eyes are changing but these conditions can all contribute to a drop in shooting performance. Consequently, the end result is that the shotgun may not be pointing where think we are aiming.
Some shooters in this situation may hit a target but are not totally confident as to why they have been successful. Trial shots at the pattern plate may be perfect but the difficulty comes when the target is moving.
You may have tried accessories that attach to your glasses or to the end of the rib on your barrels with no success. Laser eye surgery has not helped your shooting ability either.
Ex William Powell employee, Ian Butler has over 40 years coaching experience. He has had remarkable success in getting shooters back on track who are having such problems.
You will start with a session to analyse the situation. Methods to rectify the situation can be discussed and we are confident that 2 - 3 follow up sessions will restore your former prowess.
