One-on-one competitive pistol coaching from a top-10 nationally ranked Limited Optics Grandmaster, built on a training method proven to move shooters up fast.
That's not a lucky streak. It's the product of a deliberate, repeatable way of training, and it's exactly what I coach.
I'm Alastair Steward, a 100%+ Grandmaster in USPSA Limited Optics, currently ranked inside the top ten Limited Optics shooters in the country. In just two and a half years of competitive shooting I've earned four state championships and finished tenth in Limited Optics at the 2025 Racegun Nationals.
But the record isn't really the point. The point is how it happened: a deliberate, repeatable way of training that can be taught to you.

There's only the way that works for you, and the discipline to keep finding it. I take an iterative approach: experiment with different methods, measure honestly, and build relentlessly on whatever moves the needle.
Through that process I've found ways to develop fundamentals, technical skills, match performance, and the mental game that put me on a very steep improvement trajectory. When I coach you, I'm not handing you a rigid system. I'm giving you a method for finding what unlocks your shooting and stacking gains on top of it, week after week.
Four ways to work together, from a one-off video breakdown to a fully customized long-term program.
Send footage from a match or training session and get it broken down frame by frame.
A live one-on-one call to work through technique, match strategy, or your mental game.
A fully personalized six-week block built around your goals, your level, and what your shooting actually needs.
A long-term, fully bespoke program for committed competitors who want an ongoing partnership built entirely around them.

Alastair has helped me understand that improvement isn't just about doing more reps; it's about doing the right reps with purpose.
What I appreciate most is that he doesn't coach everyone the same way. He takes time to understand the shooter in front of him, identify what's actually holding them back, and tailor training to fix it.
A lot of coaches can give drills. Very few can explain performance in a way that actually changes how you train and think.
The amount of detail, thought, and genuine investment he puts into helping people improve is something I've respected from day one. I'm a far more intentional shooter because of his coaching.
Alastair has been one of the most impactful parts of my development in the sport. Every moment spent training alongside him reflects the level of discipline, efficiency, and professionalism that defines a future national and potentially world champion.
His progression and track record speak for themselves, but what stands out most is the way he approaches every aspect of shooting with purpose. From fundamentals and stage execution to the physical and mental side of performance, everything he has taught me is refined, practical, and effective.
I've always pursued growth and excellence in this sport, and during times when I felt stuck or plateaued, Alastair consistently helped me break through to the next level. His coaching has been both reliable and incredibly valuable, not just in improving performance, but in building confidence and understanding at a deeper level.
Beyond being an exceptional competitor, he's been a trusted mentor and a genuine friend. It's an honor to learn from him and an absolute privilege to shoot alongside him. I have no doubt that anyone willing to learn from him will leave a better shooter and competitor than when they started.
Conversations on training, the mental game, and what it takes to move up.
