Thread: B Cat Holder Wanted!!

Hiya,

I am looking for a bit of a shooting coach in Wellington area, specifically for pistol shooting.

Very keen on getting some know-how from someone who might own a Glock or similar (Buretta 9mm or other 9mm for example). Preferably serving NZ Police or past Police member. Please PM if you are interested - will return your effort with some baked goods for the family, will pay for ammo.

Cheers

Dougie

Dougie, if I was you I'd head to the closest IPSC club - there is one near Seddon (Heretaunga Pistol Club), probably one out Porirua way as well.

You can shoot to your hearts content, it will be practical, and no offence to service police members, but the typical member at your local IPSC club would have fired about 100 times more rounds and be in a much better position to coach you... unless you want training in police specific firearms procedures...

Kind of do want some specific police training advice

I sit next to the AO at work, he agreed with me today that perhaps if I was a bloke and wore trousers and rocked up to a range and said "hey I want some help", I might get two genuine guys that could help me. But in my current position...I might get two genuine guys that could help, also mixed in with six weirdo guys that are, well, weird.

Care to chaperone me?

Dougie guys aren't weird. Women just don't understand them.

I might have this wrong but what you are saying is that 6 out of 8 men are creepy weird bastards? WTF

The police use a club that I'm a member of to practice and do secret police stuff at about 4 times a year .
Normal club members aren't allowed to watch what they do because of security and police procedures .
I have been there a few times to open up the place and to organise a few things in the clubhouse for them .
Before " leaving them to it " I have witnessed them starting their days shooting , and letting of rounds at targets .
I'm not trying to cause trouble or be derogatory to the police here , but they sure wouldn't win any prizes or even get a mention at one of our club shoots .
If you are after some specific police data of procedural techniques then I can understand your request . If you are wanting to learn to shoot better then go to a normal gun club . Contact the clubs president or secretary before going and ask them who they would recommend to give you some coaching .
If the police have done their job right , there won't be six weirdo's at the club , because they wouldn't have passed the police checks and club requirements to get their pistol licence ( well not here in Australia , I assume and hope its the same there ) .

"Current position"? Is that liable to change? Hahaha.

I think some police want the same training,Ebf is right get to a pistol club and you will get bukku help there.failing that ive got a cop mate up here who shoots 9mm competitively who could help but he's here not there

I could help but wrong Island and I no longer have a girls gun (shiny race gun with a Cmore same colour as my shooting shoes , only a 1911 in .45. Find a club who shoots IPSC, You could ask on the Sport Shooters forum. New Zealand Travel ~ New Zealand Tourism ~ NZ Information.

most gun guys are weirdo's... haven't you learnt anything ?

when mrs ebf gets her act together about joining heretaunga you can go with her, she takes no prisoners (no comments from the peanut gallery kiwi39 !)

see what you can arrange, will have to fit in with a fairly hectic target shooting calendar between now and feb... would be fun to have a blat with a glock again

Maybe I should just take Mrs Safkiwi? That might be a better option. I just have my eyes on the top shot trophy. That requires practice.

Suggestion : grip. Move left hand up so the web of your left hand between thumb and 1st finger is making the contact with the bottom edge of the trigger guard. That'll help you straighten out your right thumb and stop your left hand curling under the magazine. Can check grip by pulling your right hand away and gripping only with your left hand, should still be able to have a firm grip with just your left (weak) hand.
