Review: his book has quite a bit of info on common games, some of the less common games, equipment selection, history, basic instruction, etc. It is an easy read with a ton of good info. I think it is a great starting point.

Summary: A Book in Search of a Purpose
Review: I am torn with this book. I am new to Skeet and Trap and bought this book for help with the finer points of shooting. Well, I got that. So, I guess the book was worth the purchase. However, I found this book to be vague and wandering and almost completely lacking in a destination or purpose. Nothing seems to be where you think it is or where it should be. Very frustrating reading.

If you want to know the name and order of every clay / shotgun game there is this is your book. If you are looking for a definitive text on shotgunning methods, there must be something out there better.

Summary: Excellent, Systematic Approach to Shotgun Sports
Review: Written by the coach of Yale's Skeet and Trap teams, the style of this book should appeal to past and present athletes who are used to a regimented approach to a sport. Migdalski's book is especially suitable for anyone just starting out, but would be a useful reference for those seeking to improve. The books strong points were its systematic approach to developing good technique and practicing effectively. I would have given this book 5 stars, but I did not find the chapters on fitness/conditioning, nutrition, and psychology very relevant (at least to me, maybe those with Olympian aspirations might feel differently). That said, I'd say this would be an excellent choice for the beginner buying just one book on the subject. If you're less interested in how to shoot the different games and more interested in developing your technique, I'd have to give the nod to Yardley's "Positive Shooting." But why not buy them both?
