Skeet is easy, if you're happy breaking nine out of ten birds. But if you want to shoot 100 straight, this manual can help you achieve that goal. Since even excellent shooters tend to overlook many basic details, Mastering Skeet emphasizes fundamental techniques that will greatly improve your precision and consistency. It addresses various shooting methods and describes proper form, with notes on stance, posture, and balance, gun mount, foot position, pivoting, and follow-through. The book also discusses individual stations and examines common errors for each shot. Whether you're an experienced shooter looking for an extra edge or a beginner who wants to learn the basics of good technique, Mastering Skeet covers the full range of material necessary for success.
