01
See the target without arguing with it
Visual discipline comes before mechanical correction. The first job is to build a picture clear enough that the body can move honestly.
Coaching
Instruction built around movement quality, visual clarity, and honest feedback.
A coaching session starts with the shot in front of you: what the target asks, what your eyes report, and what your movement actually does under pressure.
Philosophy
The target is the test. The movement is the curriculum.
David’s coaching is direct because the sport is direct. The point is not to collect swing thoughts. The point is to build a repeatable relationship between eyes, hands, gun, and target.
Schedule lessons02
Set the body where the move can happen
Hold point, foot pressure, posture, and gun position are treated as a system. The setup should remove panic instead of creating more decisions.
03
Move with quality, not desperation
The goal is a controlled open-loop movement that can survive pressure. Clean movement is valued even when a short-term result is tempting.
04
Evaluate the shot like an athlete
Practice improves when the score stops being the only feedback. The work is to separate good movement from lucky breaks and bad movement from useful misses.
