Editorial Reviews:

Break 'em All - The Complete Guide to Fixing Clay Target Shooting Problems shatters the mold of conventional books on clay target shooting. Instead of taking a 'how-to' approach to breaking targets, this book focuses on correcting and eliminating common problems which prevent shooters from hitting every clay target they shoot at. This book breaks down the fundamentals of shotgun shooting into five basic components (position, mount, vision, movement, and psychology) then associates common errors back to these components for correction. For each error the following questions are asked and answered; What does this "really" mean? How do I know if I am doing it? How do I stop doing it? Things I can do to prevent it from happening... again? This allows the reader to perform self-identification and self-correction of each problem. There is also asection which trains the reader how to perform a self-diagnosis (and correction) of problems that occur in real-time. The appendices of this book are directed towards the competition shooter and spotlight such issues as (a) goal planning for competition, (b) training for competition, (c) practice for competition and (d) performance during competition.

Summary: clay target shooting
Comment: I'm mainly a bird hunter and shoot clays to improve my chukar odds. This book covers each topic of interest to shotgun shooting in a concise, direct, and insightful style. It helped me in my first reading, but will be most useful as a reference to brush up on fundamentals and to diagnose shooting problems. I'd recommend it as a text for new shooters and as a reference for those who do not regularly break 98 out of 100 clays - that 1% don't need any help!!

Summary: olympic-level coaching
Comment: Very impressive book. As a new shotgunner, I have bought a lot of shotgunning books that go over and over the same ground. This one is different! I needed to find POSITIVE methods to practice to IMPROVE, rather than a billion small "don't do this" recommendations, and I got some very interesting recommendations here. There are a few pages in this book which to me by themselves completely repaid its cost. See "NPA" and "follow the chip" for two examples. I recommend that you "Google" B. J. McDaniel if you are still in doubt about this purchase.

Summary: Well Thought Out Instructional
Comment: The authors use rationale to explain technique, problems, and fixes. It's apparent early in the reading that their background is in instructing and coaching. It is not a "my way or the highway" approach. What they pass along can be applied to most any individual's style of shooting. Perhaps most amazing is that they cover most, if not all, of the clay shooting disciplines. Well done gentlemen.
