Do you need an archery coach?

Yes is my answer.
 I have been experimenting with different equipment, shot processes, and practice routines for years. Through all of these trials, I never nailed down what equipment fit me and I never developed a plan for success.
I always told myself that experiencing different equipment and processes would help me relate to my customers and share the issues they were dealing with. In reality, I formed a horrible case of target panic and couldn't shoot a target face for almost a year.
Recently I gave Gary Neal a call and he was willing to travel to me. We spent two days together working on my shot and I gained a new confidence that if I do my part, the arrow will find it's mark. He helped me build a shot and practice process that gives me the confidence that I was lacking.
Sometimes we fall into the trap of that new bow or release will be the answer. In reality, we need to fix  ourselves and I believe that an investment in a good coach will take you farther than the latest and  greatest in equipment.
Gary's common sense and keep it simple approach is only surpassed by his work ethic.
I may never compete on the pro tour but, archery is fun again.
Gary is on facebook and you can see his page at G's Coaching.

2014 Duel on Delmarva

Whitetail Outpost's 3'rd annual fundraiser was a success.
With the help from Nanticoke Sportsman's Club, volunteers and the archery community, we were able to donate just over $3,400 to the National Kidney Foundation.
The weather and fellowship made this a wonderful day.
Thank You!
