Shooting Learning/Coaching Resource

ai · Post by ai » 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.

The pilkguns forum is a good place for starters to get basic info on ISSF style shooting disciplines, the rules can be had from the ISSF website (as a downloadable PDF file) and now that NRAI has it's own website, if you wish you can download their rulebook from there.

As always google is your friend...

Wonderful notion AI. We seriously need more expertise here. Please start off with any booklet/whitepaper sorts, that you can create. It will surely be a rare and much required information source...

I have a manual in pdf format ..... really nice with color illustrations and photos. Am unsure about the copyright so am unwilling to place it anywhere however would be happy to send to anyone that maybe interested. There are 10 pdf files totalling approx 3 megs.

Cheers,

Brainiac

TenX,

With the links shared above, there is comprehensive information for getting started in shooting. I guess that makes creating a new manual redundant. I'm sure more posts in this thread will follow and we will have even more related information.
