|
Here's the ultimate shooting coach right by your side to help you fine tune your trapshooting straight from the author of "Trap Shooting Secrets" James Russell. "Precision Shooting" tells you exactly what to do when practicing step-by-step. To use gun and eye hold points to break more targets, identify and resolve once and for all the insidious slow and fast pulls that destroys setup and timing, seeing targets brighter and in slow-motion, in-depth secrets professional trapshooters use to build repeatable consistent precision. Back-sighting techniques to hone precise sight pictures, learn how to adjust timing and zones on various trap conditions, recovering from mistakes in competition, intensify concentration and visual focus, one and two-eye shooting methods, high and low gun formulas. Twelve chapters with more than 80 illustrations so learning professional trapshooting techniques is easier than ever before, but there is so much more. And, here's a first, over 225 answers given to questions all trapshooters ask with in-depth explanations of how to resolve specific shooting problems; from missing targets, breaking out of a slump, flinching, to learning the inside secrets to consistently dustball targets, etc. Like Trap Shooting Secrets, Precision Shooting reaches worldwide acclaim.= It's a must read for any trap shooter, especially the handicap yardage shooters where the big money is won. No other trapshooting book explainssuch in-depth "professional" shooting details. Softbound 8x11 format, 160 pages, 12 chapters, over 80 illustrations.

"Trapshooting," stresses James Russell in this comprehensive instructional for the sport, "can be summed up as vivid images and feel, not complex technicalities." Despite that essential sensorial caveat, his Bible is filled with exactly the kind of technical tips and practice drills necessary for improving a shooter's skills, concentration, and focus. Though Precision Shooting emphasizes the importance of the basics--set-up, point of impact, timing, visualization, and gun fit--it is no simple primer. Aimed at the advanced trapshooter and those who aspire to that status, it is dense with details, drills, specifications, and 315 exhaustive answers to 315 FAQ that are made even denser by their presentation, which is dreary at best. Heavy on abnormally large blocks of text, Precision Shooting inexplicably consigns its substantial grouping of helpful illustrations and diagrams to a single section in the rear instead of integrating them throughout. Still, if your target is ratcheting up your shooting skills, the Bible offers chapter and verse. --Jeff Silverman

A very comprehensive book for the advanced trap shooter. I could find a lot of useful tips and techniques even if my skil is below proffesional trap shooting. I could not rate it with 5 stars because of the two main tesis, the mental and visualisation issues. I simply do not believe that visualisation is an universal thruth which can be applied by everyone and this should also be valid for the mental part. By definition, since we all are individuals there are no standard solutions but the book is however worth buying!

This is a very practical book, which helps you master the mental game of Trapshooting. As the saying goes, "You have yet to hit your lowest score!" The trigger words are very helpful and keep you on task as you develop your own reperetoire of words; with his tips you enjoy the game in spite of the learning curve. I am seeking my final punch to the back fence; his suggestions have gained me four yards! One final note;the secret to hitting higher scores is to properly adjust the nut behind the recoil pad!

Excellent... Gives you all of the elements to build on for breaking 100. Very detailed, explains how things work and why. I have improved my score at least 25% by following his suggestions. You must practice - he tells you what to do and how. Keep it with you at the range so you can use it as a reference when misses occur...
You should read his other book first. (Review Data Last Updated: 2007-10-12 16:36:05 EST)

Anyone wishing to alleviate years of mistakes and truly understand the fundamentals to become a better shooter must buy both of James Russell's books.
It is with great pride to tell you that I finally ran my first 25 straight at the 27 yard line today because of the books. This was a big goal for me. Thank you, thank you James. A must have for all trap shooters. (Review Data Last Updated: 2007-10-12 16:36:05 EST)

The text & illustrations are well organized and detailed. I was impressed with the author's willingness to discuss objectively the pros and cons of various shooting techniques. The book really does a good job of providing the shooter with knowledge needed to practice more effectively and improve scores.

I truly believe there may be some good information in this book. I am unsure if you will be able to read enough of it to get any of it. It is so poorly, no let me restate, so OVER written as to be laughable.

While this book offers many sound trapshooting points, they come amidst a sea of personal opinion, Christian evangelizing, and the marketing of other books. This book is self-published and begs for professional editing. There are countless glowing spelling and grammatical errors. If one were to eliminate the redundancy and material not related to the subject, this rather expensive book would barely reach 100 pages. And, as if the contents were all his original ideas, he offers no bibliographic reference for any of the opinions, facts, or conclusions, even though many are contrary to conventional trapshooting wisdom and instruction. While Russell is quick to point out that the book is only useful if kept constantly on hand during practice and competition, he also sells it as an e-book that cannot be printed. All things considered, I have to seriously question the accuracy of the material and the validity of Mr. Russell's opinions.

Professional trapshooters have never officially endorsed any trapshooting books, until James Russell's trap shooting books arrived. Daro Handy is an ATA & PITA Hall of Fame shooter, top-gun professional trapshooter for over 45-years. Here's the recommendation...
"There is a lot of constructive information in Trap Shooting Secrets and Precision Shooting - The Trapshooter's Bible. The concepts in these two books are strongly presented, understandable and easily applied. If you would like to step into the world where professional trapshooter's reside, these books can reveal valuable technical information to improve your shooting. And, in conjunction with a qualified shooting instructor, these two books should give the trapshooter a high measure of success." Daro Handy (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-07-07 20:54:01 EST)

Luca Scribani Rossi is sponsored by Beretta and is also the coach of the Australian Olympic Shooting Team. He travels extensively worldwide to International and Olympic clay target competitions and instructs Olympic-team coaches! He endorses James Russell's trap shooting books...
"I strongly recommend shotgun competition shooters to read both, Trap Shooting Secrets, and Precision Shooting - The Trapshooter's Bible. If you read these books you simply can't go wrong. Just follow the steps outlined and you'll leap ahead in the ranking of any competition you'll attend. That's my recommendation."
