Shooting Clay Targets

This is a comprehensive coverage of clay target shooting. It is for beginners as well as intermediate shooters but includes reviews of techniques and concepts that would be helpful to the more advanced shooter. The format is concise and it is well illustrated. The keys to success are the fundamentals including a consistent/reproducible strong stance and gun mount, knowing where and how you want to visualize and eventually break the taget, and the preparation and follow through in the actual target acquisition. The book also covers strategy and various target presentations in skeet, trap and sporting clays. In addition, there are recommended practice drills and appendices covering terminology, how a shotgun firing mechanism works and the rules.

The authors include 2 level 3 NSCCA instructors and reflect personal observations of decades of experience. The format is designed to bring out the concepts both by illustrations as well as concise text to make the reader a more consistent and successful shooter.
