"I
would recommend Gil and Vicki Ash of OSP Shooting School to anyone who wants
to learn the simplest and easiest way to break targets. Our groups were small
with individual attention and two instructors which was wonderful. But the message...that
was what was so amazing! Why have we been making this so complicated?"--Deedee

1.
How much do we shoot?
125-300
shots depending upon what you are working on. Singles, doubles, long shots,
short shots, etc. We find that "Its not how many times you pull the trigger
that makes you better, its what you learn each time you pull the trigger that
makes you better!
2.
How many people in each class?
We
typically take 5 people per instructor per day.
3.
What time do we start and finish?
Assemble
at 8:00 a. m. start at 8:30 and end at 4:30-5:00 p.m.
4.
What level will the other students be?
Although
we try to group people with like ability sometimes it just can't happen. We
have found that the teaching methods we use can be understood and applied by
the novice, intermediate, as well as the advanced shooter. The difference is
the more advanced students have the ability to execute the same basic fundamentals
at higher levels and on more difficult targets.

"The misplacement
of the shot cloud is the result
of the miss--not the cause."

The first
time a student enters one of our groups sessions they are amazed at how much
they actually learn when others are shooting. When we explain the same fundamental
move or concept to 5 different people in 5 different ways everyone learns so
much so quickly!
In one day with us you will learn what it would take 10 one hour lessons to
learn and for the cost of just over 2 one-hour lessons.

"You actually learn more from watching others get coached and shoot than you
do from actually shooting!"
Quote: "Not many people can handle groups--Vicki and Gil can!"
5.
What should I expect to learn?
You
will learn in the first 1 1/2 hours why you hit and why you miss the target
and how to repeat the hits and how to correct the misses. You will learn about
chokes-when and how to use them.
You will
learn about vision and how your eyes really work and why and how to set your
eyes up to see the target quicker and better!
Our system
is so simple to understand, learn and apply and it makes sense.
Quote:
"I'm amazed at how simple Gil and Vicki have made shotgun shooting and everything
makes so much sense."
Quote:
"I learn from Gil several times each year! He has never failed to have something
new for me to learn each and every time I see him! In fact both Vicki and Gil
have helped me solve problems over the phone! Their system is so simple to learn
and execute.
 6.
What method do you teach?
We
teach all methods. Different methods
have different amounts of risk on different shots. We help you understand the
risks and why and help you choose the best method for you and the shot you are
shooting.
We have found in studying the psychology of performance (the mental game) that
the more emphasis that is placed on method the more consciously and mechanically
people think and the more they under perform.
7.
What if it rains?
The
only reason a clinic will be canceled is due to lightning. Bring your rain gear.
We don't charge extra for teaching you how to shoot in the rain or in inclimate
weather!
8.
Can you help me shoot birds better?
Our
system has been successfully applied to not only all clay target disciplines,
but also to all species of live bird shooting. We give specific clinics for
doves, ducks, geese and driven shooting in England. American Shooting Centers
is a great place to learn to shoot because they have 13 towers from 20 feet to
120 feet.
9.
Do you have guns?
ASC has an assortment of Beretta and Browning shotguns available in Houston for you to use.
We need a 3 week advanced notice if you would like to use a specific gun and
we will do what we can to have it for you!
10.
What about ammunition?
Ammunition
is available at all the clubs we teach at. You may contact us about ammunition
in Houston and contact the club where you will be meeting us about ammunition.
11.
How much does it cost in Houston verses on the road?
In
Houston, the cost is $385 per person per day, which also includes targets and lunch. You pay for ammunition. A $200.00 deposit is required to reserve a spot.
Cost varies when we are on the road because some clubs include lunch, targets
and/or ammunition.
Hourly instruction is available at a cost of $200 per hour and include targets. Ammunition is not included.
Both Gil and Vicki are available for corporate outings and hunts.
Individual packages can be put together for you or your group whether its to
improve your scores in sporting clays or taking some clients out to shoot. Things
just seem to go better with Vicki and Gil around. Call for scheduling and prices.
12.
If I come for two days will the 2nd day be just a repeat of the first day?
We
recommend taking two days in a row! The first day we are deprogramming and programming
the data base. On the second day we show you how to use the computer. No two
days of instruction are alike. Each shooter in each class is asked to shoot
a few targets and answer a few questions. It is at that point that the curriculum
for the day is established and the students and the teacher agree on individual
goals for the day and then go to work together to achieve them.
13.
Can you check my gun fit?
We
can check your gun fit and give you suggestions as to any alterations that might
need to be done. Gun fit is a very personal thing. It is more important that
you understand what gun fit is all about and then you will know if your gun
fits or not. If you come to Houston after one session on the pattern plate you
will know if your gun fits or not!
14.
How can we get you to come to our club?
We
are constantly updating our schedule. Just e-mail or call us and we will see
when we can work you in.
15.
Will you teach me a specific method or will you work with what I'm already doing?
We
can teach you any method you want to learn. More importantly we will teach you
the risks of each method on each shot and it will be up to you to change or
not. We find that people are very reluctant to change. However, once our students
understand the risks of not changing and the benefits (reduced risk) of changing
then change becomes improvement -- Everyone wants to improve!
