Title: Black Widow Shooting Clinic
Post by: cbretriever on December 10, 2015, 02:31:00 PM
I recently enrolled in this clinic to be held in May, and I'm looking forward to the experience.  Seems like the perfect opportunity to unlearn some bad habits and hear from folks who actually know what they're doing!  I'm sure others here have attended in the past...would you kindly share your thoughts?

I enjoyed my class. G. Fred helped me with some long overlooked form issues. He took us aside and gave us individual help as he saw we needed. Ken Beck's portion of the class on fine tuning arrows was an eye opener. When we were done we had all the info needed to tune new arrows to our bows. They also shot a video of each of us shooting to evaluate our form. The topping on the "cake" was getting to shoot about 10 different bows, all for sale of course.
If I get another chance I would like to do it agian.

It is, without question, a terrific learning experience.  I took it some years back with G. Fred and Ken Beck.  Be prepared to shoot four billion arrows.  My fingers were so sore after the session I couldn't believe it.  A great time, and good instruction with good guys who all shoot trad.  Met some new friends that are now lifetime pals.

Thank you gentlemen! It sounds like exactly what I need.  Consistent shooting eludes me, and I'm in need of some expert analysis...and maybe a new bow!!

I figure that if olympic athletes can use coaches to better their skill, so can we.  We never stop learning, at least I don't.
