I shoot 3D and have never been coached ,but need it! I really would like to get myself some professional help. If you yourself was too choose, tell us who and why?

If Len Cardinal is still avalible, he must be getting up in age?
or Rod Jenkins.

I live in Michigan so both their home bases are about the same from my area.

I was fortunate enough to have so Coaching from Kim Hyung Tak from South Korea, it was an amazing experience. Although an Olympic Coach of the highest level his personal passion is shooting the Traditional Korean Horn bow.

He taught a 15 year old kid how to shoot in 15min with near perfect Form, during our warmup sessions Kim was doing Bruce Lee style 3 finger push ups (he's in his 60's), when he was manipulating me for alignment he could tell where I've had previous injuries, he is pretty mind blowing. It was winter of 2008 and Summer of 2009 I won IFAA Euro Fields and 5 weeks later WA3D Worlds.

If I ever get the chance I would like to spend some time with Rod, I like his style.

How much are you willing to change?

Kudu, Len Cardinale is a long time personal friend and my mentor in archery for 30+yrs? He's a wonderful coach, the best IMO, and man. We've had many many wonderful conversations over the years, in lessons as well as hunting camps. A member of both the Hunting and Archery Halls of Fame, not to mention a former Olympic coach,my choice is unquestionably Lenny.... And, he is still coaching regularly.

Tradarcher thanks.

I know Len is good just dont hear about him much in my neck of the woods.

I know most clinic type coaching is a two day affair "weekend"

I just wonder what could all be covered in such a time period.


At the present I shoot a olympic style riser three under in the "bare bow style" no rest or plunger,configuration.

well I do shoot olympic style equipment metal riser ILF three under and such. But I also have some form, or lack of repeatabilty issues I would like to work on. so change can be good just dont tell Obama!

 

[Grantmac]

I recommend you find a JOAD group in your area and look at getting regular coaching. Nothing beats a second, trained set of eyes watching on a regular basis.

[UrbanDeerSlayer]

Rod Jenkins. He will set you on a proven platform in 2 days. The rest is up to you.

 

[dkincaid]

I too have been wanting to get a coach locally and have tried a few Internet search to little avail. I thought Joad was just for kids but that broadens my search of they take adults

Rod Jenkins is still doing clinics. Even though he is getting really up in years.

I would choose Kisik Lee, or coach Kim. They visit my area. I have watched them coach and I like their approach.

A coach and a clinic are not the same thing. I have had the same coach now for about four years. In my opinion, it is best to have a coach that see's you shoot outside of coaching sessions, at tournaments, or in the field.

Now, I would take a Rod Jenkin's clinic if he came down to my area. I think that the four years I have spent with my current coach would help me take more away from a weekend with Rod, than if I came in cold. Even today, I end up with more questions than answers out of each coaching session. That is why you need to have constant follow-up. We don't teach kid's algebra in a weekend. We do it progressively with practice tailored to each step forward. You can't do it in one jump.

Where in Michigan are you, pm me if you want. I haven't had much luck finding a coach.

 

[Hank D Thoreau]

Brainstorm,

Does this sound like someone should jump into the on-line, webcam based, coaching business? It would not be the same as in person but I bet it would work, and be especially valuable for folks that are not in areas where good coaches are available. Heck, I do most of my guitar lessons on line now. It is hard for me to find good Delta Blues guitar teachers, even in the Los Angeles area.

If you have no Coach available the free Performance Archery series on YouTube may be of great help.

This series by GB Archery Coach Lloyd Brown is a Gem as core Form and Shot sequence explained better than any video I've seen to date

[Hank D Thoreau]

The performance archery series is really good. They are my favorite on line instruction videos.

I was suggesting that someone could set up a business coaching via video teleconference. That would be cool. I have a really nice webcam that I put on a tripod for capturing real time practice video. I could easily stream that over the web if I had an on line coach.

How about a Grammer Coach?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

My grammer knows very little about archery, bless her heart.

My brain knows very little about Grammer at 7am when I've just woken up.

Someone pulled me up on my spelling on AT, you have to consider these Forums are international and I was using the Queens English.
