Jack’s competition experience and training with USA Olympic shooting gives him a truly unique perspective that only a few coaches have. He passes on this experience to his students and gives them an amazing insight into the best shooting techniques in the world. As one example, Jack gives you the secrets of developing an iron clad pre-shot routine...

Prior to my session with Jack I had no experience shooting a shotgun let alone hitting the target I was aiming to shoot. By the end of the day I was crushing targets with ease. When shooting with Jack safety is his highest concern and I never feel that is compromised. He is focused on improving your basics from before you even pick up the gun...

Jack Aldridge is a world class shotgun shooter and instructor. After I had taken up the sport of trap shooting a few years ago, it was recommended that I contact Jack who would provide me with the right fundamentals and instruction. In short he was excellent! He made the sport not only fun but challenging. He has a very upbeat personality and has a positive perspective given the many years of shooting and his rise to the Olympic level.

Since I have been under Jack’s eye and coaching I have gone from an average shooter to an elite. I have always been a good consistent shooter but I needed one more step in becoming elite. Jack is very understanding of everyones different shooting techniques and what works for them, he helps you improve your personal style and minimize mistakes and extra movements...

Shooting with Jack is awesome. Not only is it a ton of fun but you learn a lot every time you go out! I think the best part about working with Jack is that he makes the experience relaxing and fun. I'm a helluva better shooter because of his help. His observations are always astute and he really understands everything he is doing...

Looking to get back into the sport again after not having picked up a gun in over 20 years was proving to be quite a challenge. I had had some success in earlier years but couldn’t get back to that level. After trying a couple other instructors/coaches with less than satisfactory results, by chance I was introduced to Jack Aldridge.
Jack has a relaxed approach. He looked at what I was doing, works on the strengths, made correctionswhere necessary, and introduced technique that enhances consistency and accuracy.

Oct 2022, by luck I ran into Jack Aldridge during the Nevada 74th state shoot. At the time, I was not shooting well and was ready to throw in the towel in the sport of trap shooting. Like all trap shooters, we experienced some ups and downs, that week, I was experiencing extreme downs. After the 200 single event was over, I had an hour conversation with Jack and during that time, he helped me not only reinstated my confidence but got me out of my slump. The following months Jack aided me remotely on some very simple and basic techniques but helped me tremendously. Everything Jack teaches makes 100% sense. Now I'm a AA/27/AA shooter, and I have Jack Aldridge to thank for.

As a duck and goose hunter I obviously fell in love with all sporting clay disciplines. One day at the clay club I was listening to Jack coach a member with tricks and tips on a trap field. I could tell right away that he was passionate, well spoken, knowledgeable and experienced in everything related to shot guns and shooting clays.
As mentioned above, being a hunter I was an instinctive shooter and was well on my way to breaking clays. It only took Jack a few minutes to dial me in, explain the principles and the details that I need to instantly improve.

I had an opportunity to have Jack work with me to improve on some of my own concerns about areas in my Trapshooting style. Even after being a trapshooter for 20+ years I found that I still needed to eliminate poor habits that I had picked up over the years. Working with Jack I was able to find new hold points to improve my site picture of the trap field to pick up the targets more quickly so that I could smoothly follow the target and crush it. We worked on my footing on certain posts that I had been struggling on. We also worked on customizing my pre-shot setup to eliminate early barrel movement. As mentioned above, being a hunter I was an instinctive shooter and was well on my way to breaking clays. It only took Jack a few minutes to dial me in, explain the principles and the details that I need to instantly improve.

Jack is by far the greatest asset I have when it comes to my shooting team! Something I admire
about him is that he is able to see the potential and positives in any shooter - no matter their
experience level. The first time I met with Jack I instantly saw results come in the form of more
broken clays on a sporting clays course. A place that isn’t even his “bread and butter”. I was
amazed especially with how simply Jack was able to explain the technical aspects of dynamic
shooting. The next chance I had to spend time with him, we transitioned over to the trap fields
(the discipline he is renowned for). All it took was a simple 10 minute lesson and I went from a
consistent 75-85 clays hit to be able to go out and shoot my first score in the 90s out of 100
ever! I am beyond grateful that I have the privilege of knowing and learning from one of the best
shooters around! If you ever get the chance, I highly encourage anyone to learn from him. I
promise you will not regret your time spent with Jack!
