Shooters coached by Olympic great
Australian Olympic and Commonwealth Games shooter Michael Diamond attended Korumburra Gun Club for a two day coaching clinic recently.
Ten shooters were lucky enough to be taught the finer skills of clay target shooting.
Michael took them through nutrition, psychology, gun fitting, gun mounting and the art of shooting clay targets.
Andrew Bradey from Morwell Club and Trenton Tobias from Korumburra Gun Club were able to organise Michael to donate his time for the shooters.
It is rare to have someone of this calibre attend a small Gippsland club like Korumburra.
The shooters who attended were from all parts of Gippsland.
In March, Korumburra Gun Club will also have multiple world champion Todd Bender attending to teach Skeet to some lucky shooters.

He holds the highest average in skeet history, .9972 HOA average on 5750 targets.
Korumburra Gun Club vice president Daniel Hemming has been instrumental in organising this coaching clinic.
