5.0 out of 5 stars From a complete newbie's point of view, August 25, 2006

By	Randle T. Bain (Waller, Texas USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

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
