Description:
"Trapshooting," stresses James Russell in this comprehensive instructional for the sport, "can be summed up as vivid images and feel, not complex technicalities." Despite that essential sensorial caveat, his Bible is filled with exactly the kind of technical tips and practice drills necessary for improving a shooter's skills, concentration, and focus. Though Precision Shooting emphasizes the importance of the basics--set-up, point of impact, timing, visualization, and gun fit--it is no simple primer. Aimed at the advanced trapshooter and those who aspire to that status, it is dense with details, drills, specifications, and 315 exhaustive answers to 315 FAQ that are made even denser by their presentation, which is dreary at best. Heavy on abnormally large blocks of text, Precision Shooting inexplicably consigns its substantial grouping of helpful illustrations and diagrams to a single section in the rear instead of integrating them throughout. Still, if your target is ratcheting up your shooting skills, the Bible offers chapter and verse. --Jeff Silverman
