Summary: Concentration on How to Shoot and Hit
Comment: This is one of the best books on clay shooting as it covers all the various games along with how to deal with the various scenarios. And does so for left and right handers. Has been really, really helpful. Not a lot on guns and accessories, but enough. Does have a good, straight-forward explaination as to how to "fit" a shotgun.

Summary: Missed the mark...
Comment: I found this book too advanced for a beginner (like me) and not advanced enough for someone who is at an intermediate or advanced level (my son). For example, the author talks about the parts of the gun, but then neglects to have a diagram of what those parts are. At the same time, his advice is very, very basic, so someone who already knew what they were doing may not get much out of this book. There is always a tip or two that anyone can pick up from reading a book, but I think there are books better suited for either the beginner or a more advanced trap shooter. This one isn't really right for either, in my opinion.
