Seeking an air pistol coach to improve my scores. Local or Online (Washington DC Area)
I'm an older shooter (40), I've never shot over 555 Air Pistol, never had a coach.
Looking for leads. Thank you

You sound just like me.....

If you don't mind do the lessons over the skype I would recommend Dina. I've worked with her and she helped me a lot.
At the time we start with the lessons I was struggling around 565 and yesterday my training was 579 average of 78 shots for that session and my personal best is 583 so far.

Here is the link.

Good luck.

Nice... Taking money for the list? No wonder it has only 60. This is the first time I see a model of ads paid by consumer...

I do. My wife gave me a surprise birthday party. I knew one couple was coming over for drinks, I wasn't until there were at least 8 or 10 people present that I realized it was a birthday party. :-)
