The February issue of Clay Target Nation is full of hard-hitting tips and tactics to help you improve your shooting and have more fun, as well as informative stories to keep you entertained during the slow season.
In our Training Tips columns, Robert Davis explores the best choke tube constrictions for skeet (it’s not always as simple as picking the skeet choke), while Anthony Matarese Jr. does a deep dive on how to transition from the first target of a pair to the second.
For features, we kick it off with an article dedicated to Pete Masch, who recently retired from the National Shooting Complex after 37 years. Pete was instrumental in getting sporting clays off the ground in the U.S., driving a truck full of traps around the country to host events back in the 1990s. We also have an interesting article on a new method Chris Baker is using in California to train more skeet referees.
Our sports’ survival depends on the next generation of shooters, and we profile three dads who are passing the torch on to the their children: Anthony Matarese, Mike Wilgus and Brad Kidd. On the skeet side, John Shima explains how your approach to shooting will determine, in part, how your gun fits. And we have an excellent article from sports vision specialist Dr. Richard Colo about how to really see the bird and use your eyes correctly.
