TRA BENCHREST HINTS

So….. you want to improve?

KEEP A DIARY – (simple exercise book will do) make notes on…..

❖ the goals for each training session or competition
❖ what was done to produce the good shots
❖ how you felt when you shot well and not so well
❖ what have you learned about the competition or training session
❖ any changes made to your position or technique

Record details of …. the range, the time of the match or training, the weather conditions, the
scores and equipment settings.

So….. you want to improve even more?

❖ Use the best equipment and ammunition that you can afford. Try to use the same club rifle
every week or plan to purchase a rifle that is best adapted to suit you.
❖ When you have your own equipment, train and practice as much as possible .. and use dry
firing. That is “firing” without a bullet in the breech – this helps to confirm good practice.
❖ Take part in as many competitions as possible.

❖ Have many shooting discussions over coffee, with the coach
❖ Listen to other shooters, get a “feel” for improvement
❖ Experiment to perfect the positions and technique – BUT – change only one thing at a time,
then test, analyse and discuss the results with the coach.
❖ Big one ….ensure that you HAVE FUN

THE LITTLE DETAILS….

Target shooting can be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of age or gender. It is…....
❖ a good family activity
❖ an enjoyable recreation
❖ a serious competitive sport

WHAT IS THE ULTIMATE?

Australian teams are selected for world competition, and the State Team matches at the TRA
Nationals are always hotly contested.

Are you ready to join the success and be the next champion??
