Chip Lohman, Editor of Shooting Sports USA, is putting out a call for mini articles, about 300-400 words, on shooting coaching tips. This is a chance for coaches to share their favorite tips to a national audience and to pick up a few dollars in the process.
Lohman will assist any would be author with setup work and photographs. A draft copy will be provided to the author prior to publication for final tune up.
A few examples:
– Using a “summary target” where a target is left up for an entire practice while others are stapled on and then removed, yielding a pattern for the entire session.
– Using an eye dropper to illustrate to pistol shooters the proper focus on the front sight and a gentle trigger squeeze
…and any other practice tips, match strategies or equipment set-up advice.
Lohman can be reached at CLohman@nrahq.org
