Fuzzy's Notes:

Welcome to my Competitors Crib Sheet pages !   In this section of the website I'll present articles and thoughts from some of the leading rifle and pistol coaches and competitors . . . ideas that may enhance your progression from rank novice to Master Class rifleman.    Additionally there will be links to the Rule Books for many of the specific Smallbore and Air-Rifle competition modes, along with links to Forums of primary interest to Smallbore and Air-Rifle shooters in general.    Not all the material presented will apply to your specific shooting discipline, but in reading it, the concepts may get the old grey matter stirring . . . who knows what startling new innovations in technique you may discover if you just let the imagination run wild for a while.

C.    The Hitchhikers Guide To Shooting Glory . . !

This section is dedicated to those shooters who want to improve their standard of shooting.   I don't profess to know all the answers, neither do I claim to be anything of a coach.   I have shot competitively for twenty five years, during which I have made many repetitive mistakes until I quite frankly became tired of shooting badly and began to perform with some respectability at international level.   I hope some of these articles will be thought provoking and save you some of the agony of learning the hard way.
