This Month In Clay Target Nation

The April issue of Clay Target Nation is packed full of tips and tactics that will help you find more success and have more fun on the sporting clays course or the skeet field this season.

In our Training Tips columns, John Shima offers advice on renewing your enthusiasm for shooting if you’ve found the game just isn’t what it used to be. Meanwhile, Anthony Matarese Jr. has some insight on what your coach expects from you during and after a lesson.

Also from Anthony is his last feature in a three-part series about Why We Miss, followed by a helpful article by instructor Tim Short on how new skeet shooters can step up their game quickly. Stuart Brown has an article on barrel reference and how skeet shooters can master it, while Clayton Rue goes over what he calls the Shooting Cycle: an endless loop of shot planning, shot execution and shot assessment. Dr. Ed Lyons introduces us to several tools you can use to actually train your vision and use it in ways you never could before. And finally, famed shotgun writer Phil Bourjaily reports on the differences between lead shot and steel shot, with the help of some well-known shooters.
