“Gordon has been an integral part of clay target shooting at P.N.B.H.S since the mid 1980’s. While secondary school shooting is primarily focused on DTL (Down The Line) shooting, Gordon has coached the skills and techniques of all three disciplines – DTL, Skeet and Sporting. Gordon’s genius is not only his skills to teach these disciplines, but his ability to spot the minor errors or faults that inevitably creep into a shooter’s form.”
