This review is from: The Gun Digest Book of Trap & Skeet Shooting (Paperback)

I found this book to be an excellent introduction to trap, skeet and sporting clays. The book is well laid out with clear illustrations. The writing style is friendly and easy to digest.

The book includes descriptions on many types of guns from the mundane to the exotic. While the attributes of the exotic are extolled, the author encourages his readers to get out there and give it a go with what you have.

This review is from: The Gun Digest Book of Trap & Skeet Shooting (Paperback)

This is exactly what I needed as a beginner. I'm soon outgrowing it, but could not have improved without it. It is also good for those who just wish to know about the sport.

This Gun Digest book covers all the basics of clay targets. All those things you must get right, or know about, in the beginning. I have increasing respect for it as I learn more

This review is from: The Gun Digest Book of Trap & Skeet Shooting (Paperback)

I am not new to trap & skeet shooting, but a little rusty. This book has some very good information to help knock that rust off or get someone new to the sport started off on the right foot. It also has tips to help the experienced shooter improve their score and improve their gun maintenance.
