Folks,

Summer 2024 is coming - what about coming down and enhancing your abilities as a rifleman?

It is a sad fact that obtaining any 'practical' rifle coaching is quite hard to come by in the UK - especially when you are looking for techniques that are biased towards the needs of the mobile deer stalker, as opposed to the long range or safari shooter.

Many of us will purchase a scope, bipod and rifle, drill tiny groups at the range or from a bench - then fail to achieve our best when faced with an opportunity for a shot where intervening cover makes the bipod useless.

Over the years, I have noted many techniques and developed twists on existing shooting methods that allow a noticeable improvement in your accuracy and additionally, the speed with which you can engage a target. Now I am prepared to make an offer that may well appeal to many shooters.

Refine your shooting technique or your money back!

Benefiting either Novice (can provide rifles/ammunition if you do not possess your own equipment) or Experienced shooters, we offer you four hours of
practical and theoretical marksmanship coaching. £100

  • We have the use of a private range, and tailor the program to your existing abilities and experience
  • work on zeroing technique on the bench
  • effective use of high and low seats
  • improvised rests and correct usage of the many varieties of stalking sticks for ALL shooting positions
  • short range training using sub-calibre rifles before a consolidation shoot to confirm technique.
  • just north of Axminster in Devon, we are situated in the middle of rich deer country & if you wish to then go out and put into
  • practice your shooting techniques, - we have plenty deer to cull!

We also have excellent accommodation on site, so arranging a visit is very straight-forward !

Ian is a delightful chap to a;- do buisness with and b;- simply be in the company of.

This offer has got to be one of those "once I see light at the end this C-19 lockdown tunnel" opportunities not to be missed as demand is certain to outstrip availability.

Great offer From Ian. Snap his hand off you will not regret it. Good accommodation too. Fully Recommend. Mark
 
Ian - would you be able to PM me? Maybe I don't have enough posts but I can't seem to start a 'conversation' with you directly. Thanks
 
Don't do it ! he will put you in the seat on the range, and then direct a herd of bullocks to sneak up and lick you mercilessly while you try to compose yourself for the shot ! :rofl: :rofl:










other than that, I learnt a lot about options for shooting that didn't include prone with a bipod and rear bag, I would reccomend it to all (except the bullocks, those suckas had serious tongues ! :p )
 
Spent an afternoon with Ian and learned a lot! Went stalking the following morning and got a roe buck. Ian is a great bloke and has probably forgotten more than I’ll know! :)
 
Just Got back from an afternoon with Ian
Making sure my rifle was set up correctly for my up and coming stalking trip.
Its now shooting bang on
I learnt a lot about using sticks from sitting, kneeling and standing
From not using sticks before, I was hitting a 4” metal disc standing with .22 rimfire from 100m
Hitting a 6” Metal disc sitting with sticks with my .270 Sako From 200m
And from my quad sticks Hitting a 6” metal Disc standing From 200m

Thank you Ian for putting up with me
I look forward to booking some stalking trips with you
 
Cheers J.

The weather Gods were kind, a good time was had and it is nice to see you now confident & hammering steel at any range you are likely to encounter while stalking.

Doing that in a variety of 'new' positions just adds to the fun! ;)
 
Folks,

Deja-vu! A year later and just coming out of lock-down again.

Happy to offer the same option if you fancy a visit to Devon.

Our woodlands are stunning at this time of year and stalking Roe bucks is the ideal way to put
into practice the options you have been practicing during your day on the range.

Looking forward to shooting with you!

Ian :)
 
Heartily recommend Ian - took me on my first stalk and I've never looked back! Excellent advice, lots of knowledge and jolly nice chap to boot! :)
 
Gents/ Gent'esses (and others),

The weather is improving, we have onsite accommodation for you and your firearms, and the range is waiting.

Positional shooting, coaching, load development even getting your rifle on zero. We can give you the opportunity.

Come on down, get some range-time, get out for a stalk on the Roe bucks - the South West is looking rather pretty about now!

Looking forward to hunting with you soon.

Ian :)
