This is the question which haunts all shooters who do not have a coach. I know, because, I too never had a proper coach.
Somebody, whom I could approach with the assurance that he would answer all my questions and put to rest all my doubts.
While motivation was never a problem for me and I think most shooters are motivated enough, what is lacking, is the self-confidence.
I remember trying out different things while I was training on my own. But at the back of my mind, there was always this question; Am I doing the right thing? Am I on the right path?
And believe me, this self-doubt eats into the shooter’s confidence, to the extent that he is never sure of how he is going to perform in the next match.
Somewhere along the way, we stop enjoying our shooting because the desperation to do well, replaces self-confidence.
In desperation, every shooter is trying to improve himself, sufficiently enough, to shoot well in the next match. Unfortunately, even before he steps onto the firing line, he is already defeated in his own mind!
When I look back now, over the years, I smile wryly, but back then, there was nothing much to smile about.
Almost thirty years later, when I walk into a firing range, I see the same expression on most of the shooter’s faces and my heart goes out to them. I feel, what they are feeling, I feel the shakiness reflected in their eyes AND that is why I have set up this online 10 meter air pistol coaching website;
Now all those who do not have a coach, for all of you out there practicing on your own, here is what I have to say to you. From this day on wards; YOU ARE NOT ALONE. I am there for you.
So, fire away your questions, I will answer them, if necessary you can speak to me and those of you who wish to train with me, to them and all of you, you are most WELCOME.
Together, let us begin enjoying our shooting, once again.
