Shooting Learning/Coaching Resource
Posted: Sun Sep 07, 2008 5:13 pm
I've recently joined one of the better known state shooting associations in India, but find that there is a lack of opportunity and environment to learn competitive shooting. As with most sports, India lacks qualified coaches in shooting as well, and this is a point often repeated in the media.
I tried searching for inputs on shooting technique (For 10 mts Air Rifle) on the Internet. Perhaps I didn't search hard enough, and am yet to visit book stores, but I am unaware of any information. In fact, I could not even find specifications of a competition air rifle, or the event and its rules. Even if I find a book, I wonder how good it might be from a technical point of view. I say this because as a squash player, I grew up with several books on squash, one of which was generally considered a 'Bible of squash'. However, after obtaining some well researched stuff from the coaching courses I attended in Australia as part of my coaching qualification, I gave away/discarded those books.
In view of this, and the mention by TenX that he is writing something on guns, could we attempt creating a document/manual for shooters and shooting coaches?
I would be happy to contribute to the portions on 'Principles of Coaching', since I have written a manual on the subject applicable to all sports, and hold a Level 2 Accreditation in Coaching Principles for Advanced Coaches from Australian Sports Commission.
