Book is Great
I had never won anything until I bought these two books Trap Shooting Secrets and Precision Shooting - The Trapshooter's Bible. After reading them I won my first belt buckle at the Michigan State Shoot, not to mention the money I won, too! I shot a 98 after reading these two great books and I've been shooting high scores ever since. My averages were in the low and mid 80's, not anymore! I've read these books twice and I will need to read them many more times in my lifetime. There is way too much information in these books to absorb quickly, but the valuable instruction you do retain is powerful knowledge! These books are worth every cent I paid, and much more. My only regret is I wish I'd had these books years ago. Don't make the mistake I and many other shooters have made. It is no fun shooting poor scores. High scores create satisfaction. I recommend shooters read these books without delay. They are crammed with knowledge, instructions and illustrations that will amaze you. You will discover why professional shooters recommend these books, they are great!
Books Deliver On The Promise!
New to trap shooting and 56 years of age, I was hitting only 75 of 100 in singles and handicap, until I read Trap Shooting Secrets and Precision Shooting - The Trapshooter's Bible. On my first shoot I shot 181x200 in singles! My previous best score was only 168, so I picked up 13 targets right away. On handicap, my best was 75, but after reading the books my score jumped to 80, and that was on a very rainy cold day. How much of the books did I read to increase these scores? Three tips! Yes, just three shooting tips! In my opinion, these books are remarkable and I highly recommend shooter's read the books if they wish to see an increase in scores. Here's more! I followed the first phase of the practice tips, tightened my choke, employed the snap shooting technique, as advised in the books, and smoked the targets hard. Without a coach, I found it difficult to improve my shooting. These clay target shooting books is like having a coach by your side giving you inside knowledge and advice. There is valuable information in these books. The books deliver on the promise. I'm one satisfied customer!
Look closely at the reviews...
It seems rather odd that the overwhelming majority of reviews (all of which award this book 5 stars) are anonymous postings from Livingston, Texas. A quick internet search reveals that the author, James Russell, lives in Livingston. In fact, one review for this book is written by a "James Russell" from Livingston, though the reviewer states that he is "new to trap shooting and 56 years of age" It seems clear that Mr. Livingston is anonlymously writing reviews for his own book and giving it five stars to boost its ratings. If the book were really as good as he claims it is, one wonders why it would be necessary to falsely boost the ratings. Interestingly, a search on Amazon of James Russell's other books, such as those on screenwriting display the same tendency: many laudatory 5-star reviews from Livingston, TX, including some from the author, who claims to have benefited greatly from the wisdom of the book. Strange indeed!
