    I got some help shooting sporting clays at Green Mountain Shooting PReserve in Ossipee NH. It was more for hunting practice but the guys there helped me out a lot and I was hitting most of the pheasants I aimed at on my two hunting trips there. They may be able to help you.

    Sometimes clubs will pay to bring pro's in for a seminar. Perhaps it is something that may generate some interest from NES'ers

    Have you checked out the Orvis Sandanona club in Millbrook NY? I don't know if Millbrook is too far a drive for you in western ma, but they do offer private instruction. I have never been but have heard it is one of the best spots in the country. Good luck.

    There is a club in Burlington MA. I don't know the name of the club but I believe Mike @ Roaches' Sporting Goods in Cambridge (617 876-5816) is a member there. He states this is THE place to shoot if you are a serious trap shooter. Give the store a call and ask for him. I'm pretty sure he can point you in the right direction.

    It is only the accurate rifle that is interesting.

    Out of curiosity ...............

    Is there "one thing" in particular that is giving you the most trouble?

    While I would never discount the value of a professional instructor, I've found that if you frequent a club with a large group of great shooters, all of your problems will be solved!

    Minuteman Sportsman's Club. I would highly recommend Bill Anzaldi. I can get you his contact info if you would like it. Bill has been shooting and teaching trap shooting for at least the last couple of decades. He used to travel with Kay Ohye(a long time pro trap shooter) doing clinics around the country.
