Some people walk into the Club and just get it – natural talent, steady hand, annoyingly consistent. Others have been shooting for decades and have refined their technique to near perfection… right up until the moment age, eyesight, or just plain stubbornness starts to catch up with them.
But for most of us, it’s not quite that straightforward. We turn up regularly, we enjoy our time on the range, and we sometimes wonder why one day everything clicks… and the next it’s like we’ve never picked up a rifle or pistol before. Sound familiar?
If you’re looking to improve your scores and shoot more consistently, the good news is: it can be done. But like anything worthwhile, it takes time – and a structured approach.
What Does Improvement Really Take?
Whether you’re aiming for higher competition scores or just want to be more consistent week to week, real progress comes from:
- Accurate diagnosis – Understanding what’s really going wrong (and right).
- Consistent coaching – regular support delivered by the same coach to keep you on track.
- Negotiated strategies – Agreeing on clear, tailored actions to improve.
- Plenty of practice – Both guided sessions and personal training time.
- Record keeping – So you and your coach can track what’s working.
- Balancing practice with competition – Knowing when to focus on process and when to focus on performance.
