These are fully trained shotgun coaches who have been through the BASC coach mentoring system and are re-assessed every 3 years.

Some coaches own their own shooting grounds, some operate with existing shooting grounds. Others may be willing to come along to a green-field site to set up a small coaching session for you and some friends or offer one to one tuition. All of them can be found from time to time on the BASC Coaching line at shows and events.
