Alejandra Zavala is one of the first top international shooters I met. From the get go she’s been approachable, super interesting and fun. She’s a positive force. There’s a lot to learn from this mexican Olympic shooter 🙂

Training Notes (With Aurore & Daniel Goberville): Trigger Apocalypse

BAD SERVICE WARNING! Reflex Shooting
DO NOT TRUST YOUR GUN TO REFLEX SHOOTING >> They broke my air gun while doing a yearly checkup. They charged me €65 for “greasing the o rings” but my gun is no longer working. They do not own their mistake, fix it or reimburse. In fact they won’t even send the tax bill for what I paid. I had to pay extra €150 to get my gun fixed by another gunsmith. They also botched my order of a €2000 gun (a Morini FP). Very bad customer support and follow up (which ends up being non existent).

My First Precision Air Pistol Training Program
After a shooting test to see my trends, my air pistol coach (Santiago Gómez Salgado) sent this as a first generic training to get going before we met (I live 1800 km away). There are two training programs, one for home and one for the range. I’ve blocked three days a week to go to the range. This is complemented with one day training at home (total 4 days of shooting training per week). Physical training is not included in this.
