OSP - Optimum Shotgun Performance Shooting School

I have to give the OSP school five stars! My time at their two day clinic has definitely helped me to improve my skills as a clay shooter. I give them a big thumbs up!

This clinic will change your life. Everyone is there because what you have been doing doesn't work. Want to know the dark secrets of shotgunning? Then this is the place. I doubled my ski level!

Angela and I had the best experience with Brian and OSP. This is a definite must for advancement of our skills in this fantastic sport. CanΓÇÖt believe how much we improved and the shear amount of talent that Brian has when it comes to instruction. Even with a group of 5 we received more personal attention than we could even imagine for a two day clinic. First training trip and many more to come with OSP. Even with airfare, car rental, and room, an absolute phenomenal deal for the knowledge gained! Thanks again BRIAN AND OSP!

I have now been through the OSP course twice for a total of four days and highly recommend it for anyone at any level that wants to improve their skills with a shotgun. Over those four days I have worked with all three of the instructors and would not hesitate to suggest any of them. While the delivery and words may differ the message and the system is consistent. I plan on returning again in the future.

I attended a two day clinic in Rockford Ill. I am a novice clay shooter and Gil and Vicki made me feel right at ease. Day one was a challenge for my brain and my skill level. Gil worked with me in a way that matched my novice level and seamlessly taught up to the levels of the other shooters in the group. Master instructor... Day two- I was a completely different shooter. My brain locked onto the teaching, and I was breaking targets consistently. Game changer. I will be back to another clinic soon. Thank You Team OSP! Brian R.

My coaching partner, Ernesto, and I truly enjoyed ourselves. We were able to discuss ideas of how to communicate with our athletes. How to see things from their perspective as well as understand the OSP way so we may share it. The facility had all variety of target presentations to practice on. I don't think we had but maybe 10 broken targets, most out of 1 machine, in the 800-900 targets we shot at. Real good percentage where we come from. Brian was great to talk with and learn from. Explanations were simple and precise. His examples and memory techniques made it easy to remember all the info we were receiving. Ernesto and I discussed on our way home how it felt like shooting with an old friend where we could laugh and have fun while learning. We would recommend this course to all if you want to challenge yourself and grow as a shooter.

5 star rating!! I attended two days of the OPS clinic at LVSC in August. My instructor was Gil Ash, with five people in my instruction group. The instruction was outstanding and inner active and very useful. Instruction method was direct and easy to understand, both class room and hands on. This was my second set of lessons with OSP. I highly recommend the OSP program. Ralph Morgan

Before being introduced to OSP, I was one of those people that ΓÇ£aimedΓÇ¥ a shotgun. Needless to say, my shooting proficiency was not the best and led to countless missed easy shots with no hope of ever hitting the hard shots. The OSP system was a revelation for me. If you do the homework before showing up for instruction with Gil and Vicki, youΓÇÖre more than halfway home. My shooting skills improved dramatically on the first day of instruction. Both Gil and Vicki had great advice on things I need to work on to continue to improve. If you havenΓÇÖt tried OSP, youΓÇÖre missing out!

I think this was my 5th year of doing a class with OSP. I keep having fun and keep getting better. I would highly recommend them!

I sure wish I had done this 30 years ago. The methods they teach simply make shooting more fun. Brian is an excellent instructor and knew how to bring out the beast in everyone. Lots of learning and lots of laughs too; that's a great combination. An excellent experience! Update: Followed up with a one day clinic with Gill. I am very glad that I did. Their method is really coming together for me. Claybusting has become more fun, the more I work at it! OSP is a great way to go!

Gil and Vickie are committed to helping any level of shooter be the best that they choose to be through actual individualized training and coaching. They have truly developed a process/ system that works if you do. While having the time of your life. Looking forward to the next session. Ed C

Fantastic instruction and experience! They really helped my teenage son and I understand how to shoot any target and how to make corrections. There is not a target out there we cannot hit. No one else teaches like this and it was a game changer for both of us. Thanks so much!

Spent the weekend with Brian Ash from OSP at their Houston location. All I can say is wow...if I only took advantage of this training prior to ever shooting my first clay (first mistake). I picked up the sport of clay shooting about two years ago and have been relying on coaching from the guys I shoot with (second mistake). So my experience with Brian was the equivalent of going through DETOX...unlearning all the wrong things I have been doing for the last two years! I know there are a lot of shotgun master class shooters out there who provide instruction as a side gig...but that does not equate to them being master class instructors. As a former USAF instructor pilot and current NRA pistol/rifle instructor I know what to look for in quality training...Brian is the real deal. I now have the fundamentals to go home and practice this new skill set and become a more consistent clay shooter. Highly recommend OSP Shooting School!!!

I'm new to sporting clays, but I would have bet a sizable sum that my improvements wouldn't be as large as they were in one day with the Ash's. Somehow they managed to make it a ton of fun along the way.

We had a great experience with Gil at Cross Creek Clays. The venue was awesome and the instruction was really good. It did help a lot watching the OSP videos before hand. We were four fairly novice shooters, and we all improved dramatically throughout the day. Thank you Gil.

So much fun and learned so many things! Thanks for a great time!

I am a beginning shooter & this clinic was invaluable. Reading the information & watching the videos on the website were great for priming the pump but Brian's hands-on instruction brought it all together. I now have a foundation to build on that isnΓÇÖt just hope or luck.

A friend and I just returned from a weekend with coaching from Brian and meeting Gil & Vicki. It was my second time to attend and his first. The training was excellent and built on my first training from last year. I would continue to recommend OSP to anyone interested in getting better at shooting their shotgun and having better scores at shooting events.

EXCELENT NEW CONCEPT OF CLAY SHOOTING

For me the clinic was an enlightening experiences. Their techniques of instructing made it easy to understand in the classroom and simple to apply at the shooting stations. I thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of the clinic which would also include Gil's sense of humor.

Spent two days learning about OSP methods for sporting clays. Vicky and Gil are experts and fun to be around. You will learn more than just technique. They both are passionate about the sport, close to fanatics. They approach the sport holistically. That is very rare to find that dedication and a desire to share the knowledge.

IΓÇÖm a 75 yo and have been shooting skeet for about 3 years with scores in the low- mid 90s. IΓÇÖd watched the teaching on the OSP website and read several books on skeet and sporting clays. The class was similar material but different enough to matter. Every tip I received was ΓÇ£actionableΓÇ¥ and made an immediate and lasting difference. The ΓÇ£challengeΓÇ¥ moves in particular were a dramatic improvement goes these old eyes. I also had a great time with Gil and with the group I shot with.

I wish that I had taken this course years ago. I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed this course. It is FANTASTIC, it has completely changed the way that I will shoot clays and birds going forward. The knowledge vault is a gold mine. So much easier to see these concepts in action in addition to the verbal instruction. I can practice what I see in the videos at my house. Gil and Brian are great instructors! All of the instruction that I received in the two days was FUN, informative and had an immediate impact on how I shot, viewed and saw the targets. I had immediate (and repeatable) results from following the simple instructions that I received. I could tell when I was doing what I was instructed to do that I was seeing, tracking and matched speed with the target that I was going to break it. Amazing, what happens when your focus is on the target and not on the gun. Put your nose on the target!

In short, Brian Ash is a “chip” right off the ole Man’s block… A great guy, a great sense of humor, an amazing grasp on the “art” of shooting and teaching sporting clays. Brian’s knowledge is amazing… Do yourself a favor…sign up for his clinic and : 1. DO YOUR ASSIGNED HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU SHOW UP…lol 2. And then “shut up and pay close attention. 3. Make a commitment to dump your old habits and TRY THIS GUY’s methods. It is difficult at first to seemingly digress, but it takes time and effort. (Yes, I did my home work and yes, I made the commitment, and yes, it is already paying dividends…). Many thanks Gil, Vickie. You raised a “good-en”. Brian, thank you for your committment to this sport. I will look forward to Coming out to Houston one day😉 Very kind regards, Dave Stephens Hermitage, TN

Top notch Shotgun Sports Instruction!

I've shot skeet but was always interested in learning Sporting Clays but was a little apprehensive do to the difficulty. After attending the OSP Clinic with Gil, Vicki and Brian I am sold on Sporting Clays and couldn't imagine shooting anything else. Their technique of teaching you how to approach the sport is revolutionary, they explain how and why you react to certain targets, your eyes see one thing but your brain tells you another, all I can say if you want to become a better competitor, break more target and enjoy yourself more make sure and attend one of their clinics, this was my first but I can guarantee you it won't be my last, they are just a great bunch of people.

The OSP shooting clinic is well worth the time, effort and money. Watching the videos from their website before the clinic was key. I'd recommend the 2 day program. Gill, Vicki and Brian Ash convey state of the art shotgun methods that are proven to work. And it's backed by real science. The team at OSP made clay shooting fun and relaxing or me. Vicki gave me a good foundation that I can build on back home. From the bottom of my heart, thanks OSP.

I have only been shooting for six months. I thoroughly enjoyed the clinic with Gil. He is a superb teacher - helps the shooter visualize with a succinct explanation of the shot picture to help correct a flaw. Great sense of humor! The clinic is a terrific value. I attended over two days and had 12+ hours of range time. Not only does Gil coach you as you shoot, but you are listening and watching as he coaches four other shooters. The OSP Knowledge Vault is also chock full of great videos to especially help less experienced shooters. I highly recommend the OSP methodology - it is a common sense approach to shooting clay and feathered targets

Brian is a fantastic teacher, patient and encouraging. Clinic was in a small group format which allowed for lots of personal attention and trigger time. I was exhausted after 2 days of working and learning (and un-learning bad habits). I feel like I learned a lot and left with practical skills that are easy to apply across shotgun disciplines and hunting. I look forward to putting these techniques to good use. It was definitely time and money well spent. Thanks, Brian and Team OSP!

I know you are seeing these reviews and wondering how they are all so high, because it's true OSP is the best. Thought clay shooting was out of the cards for me but OSP boosted my confidence with every shot. Moreover, their passion for the sport was evident, creating a positive and encouraging learning environment. I highly recommend Vicky and Gil to anyone looking to enhance their clay shooting abilities. Thank you for the great lessons!

Wow! I highly recommend Gil and Vicki as hard working knowledgeable trainers who helped me improve my shooting skills 100%! I regret not attending 2 years earlier it would have saved me wasted ammo cost and missed birds that would have paid for the clinic.
