I am a new NRA Pistol Coach in Northern California but too far north! I moved from Sacramento to Tehama County just south of Redding. Dang. I would love to help! thanks for the offer RTR, and apologies for the delay in response, i got lucky and found a coach, and a pistol a couple of weeks ago, fro...

hello all, i live in NoHo CA and i was wondering if anyone would be interested in carpooling to PTOs out of state? i am just getting started in 10m AP so i don't know much, but i do know that the PTOs held at Prado Range are no longer in session. you could say i have *no choice* but to go out of sta...

younger folks can see distance (perhaps with correction) AND bring their focus in close enough to see the front sight or read a book or even closer, as we get older our ability to bring the focus in close degrades, our arms get too short, we need reading glasses to bring the focus in closer. I beli...

In CA, whether you can shoot at home or not will also depend on the laws of your specific city. As for the glasses. I wear trifocal progressive glasses. These are very difficult to use for AP, as I cannot get a sharp focus on the front sight w/o turning my head up to look out the bottom of my glass...

thanks Fred for the sighting explanation, and the link to proper eyeglass exams, it was helpful, and quite interesting, and thankfully my eye doctor administers the green/red exam.

can you elaborate on this Fred i don't understand what you mean?

One of the great things about AP is that you do not need a formal range. If you can find 5-10 meters of space in your home that's all you need to learn to shoot. Having a coach is great, but it is not necessary. Read the AMU Training Guide http://www.bullseyepistol.com/amucover.htm , its principles...

I would assert that if you are serious enough to want a coach you are serious enough to get a proper pistol. I will get Brenda's email to you when I can find it. She lives out in the desert somewhere, san bernardino or some such place, not real sure. Poole thank you Bill for your recommendations, a...

Mikio I’m from Northern California and I use to drive down to shoot the matches put on by the Black mountain Shooting Club at Prado (1984 Olympic shooting venue). The CRO which was also a very good coach, went out of his way to answer questions. I received the following e-mail back in June and I gu...

they used to hold matches at the 1984 olympics site called Prado, I don't remember the club name... look at the USAShooting website and find the club database. WE shoot a monthly PTO (prelim try out, that phrase means "registered match") monthly and state champs in november in Phoenix, pl...

do you mean the izh-46m? i was thinking the same until someone told me i would have to *pump* every load. we'll see. i'm taking baby steps too but not by choice. i still can't find a club or coach to train me. how about you?

hello i'm a beginner and i need help finding a coach. i live in southern CA and i know it isn't going to be easy. i can't even find a local pistol club in the area. however, i'm not discouraged. any help you can offer me would be greatly appreciated. thank you.
