CENTER SHOT
SHOOTING ACADEMY
Teaches in a very unique style, YOUR STYLE!
pricing ; calendar

Whether a Novice Social shooter or a Master Class competitor we believe that your natural style is the best for you. We teach all methods of shooting for competitive and social Sporting Clays, Skeet, Trap and Wing Shooting. We also teach International Skeet, Trap, International Sporting Clays known as FITASC and Box Bird training. We teach at YOUR PACE and SKILL LEVEL.

The use of homework, NEXT LEVEL TRAINING, will increase your bird count from the very first week of training.

NEXT LEVEL TRAINING shooting exercises are charted and therefore quantifiable.  These exercises will show you your progress in a tangible way. A deviated mean average is the only way truly see development in your performance. Through this specific training your comfort zone will be expanded to include short fast to long slow shots and all in between. We show you how a journal and mental exercises can take you to where you want to be.

“NEXT LEVEL TRAINING” - JOURNAL

To be successful in any athletic endeavor you must have a plan. Without a plan that is written in stone or on paper you will not be successful. Whether your goal is club, state, national, world or Olympic champion you will not obtain your goals without a plan. You must also train using quantifiable deviated mean average training to chart progression and identify issues. These issues or problems with a particular part of performance will be identified in a very short period of time through specific “NEXT LEVEL TRAINING” exercises. Through this specific training your comfort zone will be expanded to include short fast to long slow shots and all in between. We show you how a journal and mental exercises can take you to where you want to be. “NEXT LEVEL TRAINING” can be tailored to American or International Skeet, Trap, Sporting Clays, FITASC or other shooting sports. Use of successful training models will exponentially raise the individual athlete's confidence and therefore reduce training time to achieve desired goals. Center Shot Shooting Academy will help you reach your goals whatever they might be.

At CENTER SHOT SHOOTING ACADEMY we believe that 85 to 90% of all misses can be attributed to a breakdown in the basic fundamentals:

Break Point - The place in the flight path of the target where commitment meets trigger pull.
Foot Position and Balance - a position that allows the body to be at a zero muscle tension position to deliver the shot.
Start of Focal Window - the place we have our starting focus when we ask for the target.
Muzzle Hold Point - the place we hold the muzzle to mount to the target comfortably in our own internal pace. Usually half way between break point and start of the focal window.
Target Line - Knowing the path of the target as to have the muzzle under the line to attack from the bottom.
Insertion point - Based on your style of shooting, it's the point on the target line where the muzzle is placed to kill the target.

Mastering these fundamentals, through practice,  will increase your scores no matter the level of shooter you are.

Corporate Instruction – Who Moved My Cheese?

Based on the best selling book by Dr. Spencer Johnson, these lessons give new meaning to the words “NEW OUTLOOK”. As humans we all hate change until it is proven to us it’s better. This fun and exciting lesson teaches that all change is not bad. We all want employees that have open minds to change. The unique and growing sport of shotgun shooting set in a totally safe environment will show every one in the class that change is good. It does not matter if the students are male or female and have never handled a shotgun or have shot all their life. Each student will take away a new sense of acceptance of change. The class consists of thirty minutes of classroom instruction and up to two and a half hours of actual shooting on the range.

Cost is $75 per person and includes Targets, Ammo, Gun Rental and Eye and Ear protection.

Costs less than a round of golf with ten times more fun!

GUN FITTING
(click for prices)

If a shotgun does not shoot were you look then no matter how good your fundamentals are you still may not hit the target. Click to view an example Point of Impact study.

Many instructors will take a student straight to a lesson. They start the lesson without the slightest clue if the gun fits or shoots where the athlete looks. In fifteen minutes you can find all of this out at a point of impact board. The coach and athlete start with much more knowledge and can refine expectations for the lesson. If after five lessons I tell the student their gun needs to be fitted I just told them I wasted their valuable time and resources.

LENGTH OF PULL (LOP) is the most critical measurement on your shotgun. Mount is affected the most by this measurement. Being able to have a smooth mount is essential to having the head contact the comb in the same place every time. Since the eye is the rear sight on your shotgun it is imperative this measurement be correct.

FULL GUN FITTINGS can involve a try gun or the athlete’s personal gun. The athlete’s personal gun must be at the proper length of pull before a full fitting can be done. This involves a simple procedure used by the best fitters in Europe. Between twenty-five and fifty shots at the at the point of impact board will yield all the measurements necessary for your gunsmith to adjust your gun. Many new automatics come with wrist shims that allow fitting right in the field and a gunsmith is not necessary. We can make sure your gun shoots in the same place you look every time.
