Description of Picture.

Mark and Tom have been shooting together for about four years. A master class shooter, Mark has helped Tom advance in class from E to B. Along the way, they decided a student-teacher approach to sporting clays would work well as a book. Shooting Sporting Clays is the result.

Richly illustrated with computer-enhanced photographs, this book is designed to help beginners as well as more advanced shooters. With a strong emphasis on fundamentals, Shooting Sporting Clays aims to present the basics of shotgun shooting in such a way that even the novice can begin to formulate an approach to the game that will yield positive results in a short time.

From what chokes to choose to how to position your feet, Shooting Sporting Clays covers such areas as how to choose shooting glasses, how to read target presentations and how to determine gun fit.

Enjoy!
