Clay Target Shooting - The Mental Game is the most comprehensive and insightful book on the mental aspects of competitive shotgun, rifle, and pistol shooting ever written.

Most other books devote the majority of the text to the physical fundamentals of shooting, assuming that the reader knows and understands the psychological part of the sport. This book takes a different tact, exploring in detail areas of shooting that are not often discussed and/or understood.

   Chapters in this book include:

·        Winning with the "Right" Equipment.

·        Goal Setting

·        Visualization

·        Getting the most out of Shooting Instruction

·        Solutions for Ending a Shooting Slump

·        Developing a Winning Mind-Set

 

This book is intended for shooters of all levels - with specific sections for each skill level - and is an absolute must for anyone wanting to shoot higher scores.

About The Author

Mark Taylor started shooting American-style trap in 1969. Since that time Mark has competed in American-style trap and American-style skeet regularly/semi-regularly until 1976 at which time he took up International-style trap competitively. Mark resumed American-style trap competition in 1985, shooting ATA registered targets, local club/league matches and shooting at the Grand American trap shoot.

Mark is an Advanced International Coach under USA Shooting’s certified coaching program. Currently, Mark spends the majority of his time coaching junior shooters, and shooting clay targets infrequently with friends.

    Comments From Readers

     

    A must read to improve your Game "Having shot clay targets for a few years. The ideas in the book were not out of the blue. The author just laid it out in a clear manner. I especially liked the way in which he list the different level of shooters. So you can get a better feel where you are and what you need to train on.....I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve their score in any of the clay target sport...It is not written for a golfers eyes it is written in a shooters eyes. So the visualization process is easier to see the point and the Targets turn to Dust." - Amazon Customer

     

    The only thing missing is the sequel "My impression after the first time I read this book "WOW", my impression after the second time I read this book "WOW - WOW", etc..  After I finished the final chapter everything in the book just seemed like common sense. As a shooter, I have thought the same things that were written for years but could never made heads-or-tails out of the information. Mark (the author) is very smooth in his ability to convey seemingly complex topics and put all the pieces of the mental puzzle on the table. My final comment is, tell me when the sequel is so I can be the first in line to buy it - at any price!" - Amazon Customer
