Clinic Preparation & Recommendations
There will be a lot of information at all of the clinics so please read the list of items below to prepare.
Preparation for Your Clinic
Remember, these are only recommendations, not requirements. All of these factors maximize your learning curve as well as the fellow student’s learning curve and allows the clinic to run as efficiently as possible.
Take Notes
Take notes, I cannot stress this enough! There will be a lot of information at all of the clinics so taking notes will be very helpful in your review of the lesson at a later date. Some notes will be provided for certain types of lessons, but I encourage you to take your own as most of the information is customized to you.
Ammo
Use factory ammo or ammo that you would use in a tournament (good reloads vs. the junk pile reloads). Bad ammunition not only takes away from your time, but your classmate’s time as well. Bring good ammo! For half-day clinics, I recommend 10 boxes of ammo minimum; full day 10-15
Shotgun Gauge
Shoot the gauge you are most comfortable with (usually 20 or 28 gauge)
Please DO NOT bring 410s (email for questions)
If you only shoot 12 gauge or a particular gauge, that is fine too
Pair Up
Try to pair up with someone who is around your same level and/or wants to work on the same things (ex. You and a friend want to work on doubles or you are both in A class)
Listen
Listen to what is said even when it is not your turn to shoot. By listening to everything, it may spring a question that you may have, but you would not have thought of it if you were not listening
