What shooters say
“I had the privilege of spending time with David Lillico, and I can confidently say he is one of the most knowledgeable and experienced clay-pigeon shooting coaches I have met. David’s achievements speak for themselves — having won both the South African and African Championships — but what really stands out is the way he shares his knowledge. He has a calm, practical, and professional coaching style that makes even complex shooting techniques easy to understand. His experience in Compak, Sporting Clays, and FITASC is clear from the moment he starts coaching. He understands target presentation, gun movement, timing, focus, and the mental side of shooting at a very high level. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced shooter, David can quickly identify what needs improvement and explain it in a way that makes sense. I would highly recommend David Lillico to anyone looking to improve their clay-target shooting. He is a true professional, a proven champion, and an excellent coach.”
