Thought about becoming a shotgun coach but not sure where to start?Â
BASC is rolling out a new Shotgun Coach Award Foundation Day for those interesting in progressing into shotgun coaching.Â
The foundation day is a standalone one-day course, which is also a prerequisite for BASC’s full three-day Shotgun Coach Award course.
Subjects covered on the foundation day include testing eye dominance, correct stance, how to fit a gun, and coaching techniques.Â
We have Shotgun Coach Award Foundation Days running across the country on the following dates:
The course costs £135 for BASC members and £160 for non-members.
