Coach’s Corner

Education is a major part of our ethos and runs through all we do, from our beginner’s days to field to fork recipes and blogs. We are delighted to work with former Olympic Skeet GB Ladies Team member, shooting coach and CGUK member, Nicki Wakeford. We are so lucky to be able to draw on her experience and knowledge not just across competitive skeet shooting but other disciplines too. Together we have created Coach’s Corner, a fantastic space filled with monthly blogs written by Nicki featuring top tips for shooting and other helpful resources. Want Nicki to write about a particular subject? Let us know!
