Do you or your branch need more help?
Paul Carmine, North Island Rep. (creator of the NZDA NSRS event, with over 30 NZDA national shooting titles and commonwealth games gold and bronze medals) is available to come to your branch and instruct your range officers on running a shoot at your range.
Paul also coaches hunters in shooting styles and also those interested in improving their shooting skills for hunting.
With the acquired knowledge of technique, practicing dry firing in the various positions and disciplines will improve your skill level.
Put your target shooting skills to practice by going out and bagging more deer!
