Book Reviews of The Gun Digest Book of Trap & Skeet Shooting
Book Review: OK, but dissapointing on the title subjects
Summary: 3 Stars
First and foremost the title of this book is a bit off. Sporting Clays is not in the title, but most of the book is geared towards it (that is to say approx. 58 pages vs approx 43 for trap and 43 for skeet). I am primarily interested in Trap and Skeet and really have no interest in sporting clays which admittedly is odd, but it is what it is.
There is some good content on shotguns, loads, cleaning, accessories, etc,.. but the title subjects (Trap and Skeet) could have used a more thorough treatment. Specifically in respect to skeet, at times throughout the book, the authors seem to go out of their way to trivialize the sport with comments such as; "skeet is by far the easiest", "top ranked shooters who miss eight targets out of 1,000 should consider taking up golf" (yeah, right..because golf is easy), "lack of challenge" (referring to American skeet). To be fair, there are some good points regarding Skeet to be had in this book, but as someone who primarily shoots Trap and Skeet, comments like those above are just not necessary.
The treatment of Trap is better but the focus of this book seems to be Sporting Clays, which as mentioned earlier is strange for a book about Trap and Skeet.
One last downer... no index.
