About this title

Review

Like his other volume, Precision Shooting, James Russell's Trap Shooting Secrets is thick with tips, advice, techniques, and practice drills for anyone intent on improving his or her skills in a highly refined, complex, and technically demanding sport. Russell begins with a primer on buying the right shotgun, and builds from there on the essentials of basic shooting and a whole gamut of typical beginner's mistakes before moving on to more advanced targets like the psychology of competitive shooting, developing deeper concentration skills, and strategies for how to write off some of the high costs of trap shooting as a tax deduction. As informative as the volume is, it loses some points on style: pages crammed with text will likely glaze over your shooting eye, and its diagrams and illustrations, useful as they are, are relegated to the book's butt end as if appended as an afterthought. --Jeff Silverman

From the Publisher

This book is taking the trapshooting arena by storm. We knew it was a good book, but did not expect Olympic shooters and the schools that teach the Olympians would take to the book so strongly. Sales in the Amateur Trapshooting Association (ATA) magazine "Trap & Field" are climbing fast. Shotgun Sports Magazine has picked up the book. Customer complimentary letters are arriving raving about the book. "You are selling the book at too low cost. It is worth much more!" "Using your book I won the event." Now we know we have a winner. The book certainly has the inside secrets to winning high scores in trapshooting. Videotapes on shooting simply cannot compete with Russell's books. The instructions given in Trap Shooting Secrets is extraordinarily precise and much deeper in subject matter than the videos on the market today. Like having a coach by your side telling you what to do, how it should feel, and why you're missing specific targets, flinching, tuning up your timing, why your eye and gun holds are defective, and the list goes on. Russell knows how to communicate this highly objective trapshooting sport to get the shooter's scores up, fast. No easy feat, but Russell pulls it off.
