Hello to All,
I have just got a copy of Robin's book.
I would like to say a big thank you to Robin for writing this book
(Being coach-less, I started off in the 1980s with A.A. Yur'Yev's book, and that was pretty much it until MEC published its series of volumes on rifle & pistol shooting.)
Robin's book is absolutely superb, and in my opinion, has to be considered a 'must read' for air rifle target shooters.
Have fun & a good Sunday
Best regards
Russ
Robin,
Many thanks for producing the book. I'm slowly ploughing my way through it.
A lot of your coaching ideas (tips) are also very relevant to not only people that shoot 10m but also those like myself that shoot light weight sporting rifle.
Well worth the read.

I PMed RobinC a few years ago when I was stuck in Div 5 of my league with a score of around 160/200 and wanting to do better. There were few good coaches in my own 10m club. Robin offered to give me tips and I later had two sessions with him face to face.
I ended the next season winning Div 1 of the Middlesex and my last match that season produced a score of 191/200.
RobinC's book is excellent, it has to be. This man knows his stuff and he doesn't bullshit.
His wife is an excellent shot as well. Cleaned up recently in an international full bore competition in Austria, top lady shot, top guest - beating some Olympic shots on their home turf. She must has a superb coach
This is a seriously helpful book guys....... If you're serious about your shooting.
No Problem John,
My wife also shot 300 mt fullbore three positional many years ago, and she used the same stance, position and technique, I have also coached some LSR shooters and use the same techniques and position with some pretty stunning results as the targets are easier!
PS. Recently done a reprint, both the NSRA shop, and I, now have them in stock.
Good shooting
Robin

Congratulations Robin in producing such an excellent book - very readable with a detailed guide to all aspects of the discipline.
My principal target discipline was air 10m pistol until recently when I developed a 'frozen' right shoulder and reverted to 10m air rifle which, until then, I had not taken too seriously mainly due to my lack of progress in achieving scores much above 160 ex 200.
I am now about 3/4 of the way through the book and will start attempting to put all this into practice while ignoring all my acquired bad habits/techniques!

Anyone that has not got a copy of this excellent book yet will be pleased to know that Robin has had a few more printed - so now would be a good time to send him a PM if you would like to buy one.

May I add my thanks to Robin for writing such a helpful and informative book. I've read it several times and learn something new on each reading. Robin is to be congratulated for using plain, easy-to-understand language – a huge asset when describing sophisticated techniques. It's undoubtedly helped me to achieve higher scores.
