About this title

Synopsis

Well laid out and easy to follow, this bestselling clay pigeon shooting book covers everything you need to know about the sport

Clay target shooting is one of the fastest growing recreational sports. When compared to games of golf or tennis, it is relatively easy to learn the basics in a short period of time, so even a beginner is able to quickly take part in competitions and club events. Participants can be anywhere from 10 to 90 years of age and ladies can compete on a level playing field in a sport where strength has little impact on performance. With the exception of a suitable gun, the ancillary equipment and accessories required are not prohibitively expensive and all these factors combined contribute greatly to the increasingly popularity of shooting sports.

Breaking Clays is packed with invaluable top tips on how to break more clay in your chosen game. Having worked alongside some of the top competitors and shooting coaches in the world today, Chris Batha recognises that while every top shot has his own approach to shooting and teaching, what works for one person will not necessarily work for another. So, this book offers a distillation of the best top and techniques that enable you to improve our scores and knowledge to develop from the history of clay target games to safety, diagrams of the shotgun, targets, chokes, equipment, accessories, the fundamentals of shooting straight and more.

Review by an Amazon customer:

"This without doubt is the best book I have read on the subject - and I have read many over the last 25 years. It covers all the essentials, methods and techniques that need to the learnt. This is important as different targets sometimes need different approaches. There are many poor books out there... but if you only want one book on the subject then this is the one I would recommend."
