looking for a long range rifle coach

[jr81452]

tried posting this in the rifle section with no luck so i am posting here. i neeeeeed a rifle coach/tutor in the tampa bay area. i have lost the skills i once had and would like very much to get them back. i don't need them to be a 1 moa at 1000 yards kind of good. just someone who knows things like: good trigger control, how to dope the wind, and how to make out a range card would be a good start.

Contact the NRA. They'll put you in touch with a local instructor and/or a local club.

Seems like one of these guys keeps a list of folks who coach shooting. Might have a long range guy, might not.

They do shoot highpower rifle at Sunrise and at Port Malabar

I'd suggest looking for a Highpower Rifle match. That course of fire goes out to 600 yards and the folks who shoot it know what they are doing.

jr81452,
If you will go to Alabama then why not drive up to Ft. Benning, Ga. We have 600 and 1000 yard matches. We will have a tripple 600 yard this weekend. Here is the web page: http://www.mindspring.com/~abodom/crc.htm

Port Malabar has a beautiful range. The web search I ran shows the club web page to be gone. However, I know they are still shooting there. If you cannot find a link or someone at Malabar then go to the web page above and send me an email, I can get you in touch with someone in south Florida.

Not exactly.

Publicola, a fellow blogger, keeps a list of people willing to introduce newbies to shooting. That's not the same thing as being a coach for someone wanting to learn a particular skill. Check his list here.
