I started shooting skeet long enough ago to have NSSA #061218 and have shot over 90,000 registered targets, which doesn't include NRA International targets. I have been a AA and occasionally AAA shooter [when a bit younger!] I have been Ohio State International Champion X2 and NSSA World International Senior Champion. I have been an Ohio All State Skeet team member almost continuously for 20+ years and still make the Veteran Teams.
My NSSA Instructor Certification at Level 1 was with World Champion Adrian Cousins in 1993. Subsequently to Level 2 after a Zone Chief Instructors clinic under Don Snyder in 1996. This has since been advanced to Level 3 on the basis of a further clinic at NSSA Headquarters and teaching experience.
Over this period I have been through Todd Bender/John Shima clinics twice and believe that most of my instruction is derivative from these four master instructors and shooters.
I hold one or two Level 1 Instructor Certification clinics each year, usually at Sportsmen’s Shooting Center in Canton. Details of these courses may be obtained from me or [hopefully soon] on the www.myNSSA.com web site. I have done the certification of most of Ohio's instructors and 25 others from Zone 3 and elsewhere.
Most of my instruction is done at either the A&A Shooting & Hunting Club near Garrettsville, OH, on weekdays, Mon,Tues,Thur or Fri. and the Sportsman's Shooting Center near Canton, OH on weekends [except during 4 gun shoots]. Individual coaching sessions are at least two hours. Half day or full day clinics for from 2 to 5 shooters can be done at either club. You may contact me at either 216.464.2083 or kingheiple@ameritech.net.
