Two weeks after working with Oklahoma Dee we shot at our local range. Although, we did not think we had improved, several folks commented that they could see the difference. We practiced what he taught for 8 weeks and made gun and equipment changes before our next match. We felt more confident in our stages and we could see improvement against our peers. What he teaches works, but just as important we now have a new friend in the game. Thanks Oklahoma Dee!

With a little more than a year in cowboy shooting, I needed help to start moving up to the next level. I consider myself fortunate to have been able to spend a little time with Oklahoma Dee getting tips on the finer points on cowboy action shooting. His teachings on the mental, physical, and technical aspects of the game have already led to measurable improvement, and there’s still more from our session to help me get even better. Oklahoma Dee teaches with a positive attitude and his lessons speak volumes about his extensive experience in the cowboy shooting game. My advice to those that are new to this game is to seek out instruction like Dee’s early on so that you learn the proper mental approach, physical preparation, firearm tuning, and shooting techniques from a champion.

Since I started to work with Oklahoma Dee my game has progressed tremendously far. First, my mental game has come along the furthest. I have skills provided by Dee to keep a positive attitude and grind out each and every stage regardless of how I am shooting on a given day. I also developed a routine before the shoot, during the shoot and after which is repeatable and helps maintain consistency for every match I attend.
Further, I have learned to be more observant of what I am doing during practices and matches. This has helped in correcting technical areas of my game and in stage preparation. I learned to be more critical of my gear and not to settle for anything than the best, both of my gear and myself.
I was regularly shooting sub 20 second stages. Since my work with Dee I have seen more sub 15 second stages and less trainwrecks. I also saw a jump in my finishes. This year with his help I have placed 6th, 3rd and 12th overall in my last annual matches around the state.
I can’t recommend him enough if any cowboy or cowgirl truly wants to improve their overall game.

This was a very positive and informative lesson. I learned many things about what it takes to be the best and to be the best you must practice. If I had to chose one thing from this lesson that is important to me, it would be that I learned HOW TO PRACTICE.
Thanks Oklahoma Dee for your help and advice it has made me a better shooter already.

Being coached in cowboy shooting by Oklahoma Dee was a great learning experience ,as well as, a treat. He give me an outline of positive things to focus on, which I try to read weekly and carry out the contents. He evaluated my equipment used in our sport and revealed what champions were using, which opened my eyes. He videoed me shooting a couple of stages and dissected them on my pros and cons, always stressing safety. There is no doubt I will be a better shooter after attending the mini-seminar hosted by OKD. Above all he stressed to believe in yourself.
To a great instructor, as well as, a great person. Thanks for a enjoyable experience. TexasTommyGun.
