"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

Luca Scribani Rossi, Olympic Medallist
I like Trap Shooting Secrets! It is a powerful book. And the "Precision Shooting" book is really fantastic. I have introduced both books to the Australian Trapshooting Association and I have dedicated a page on my web site to these well-deserved books. To the Author I say, well done, Mr. Russell! It is the very first time I've seen books so well written and completely understandable from the first page! I've read many books talking about competition shooting and they were good reading, but I couldn't learn anything of true value from them, and believe me, I've read them all! These are the best trap shooting books in the world! Trap Shooting Secrets and Precision Shooting are books that explains technique and tactics as shotgun shooters need them to be explained. The best shotgun instructional books I've ever seen. If you shoot ATA trap, DTL, ABT, Double Trap or Olympic trap, get these books right away! They really can improve your shooting with a high degree of precision no other book or video can give you. There are precision shotgun shooting techniques explained in these books of great value.

When I read the books, I found it so true the advice given were exactly matching with the experiences I made through years of hi-level Olympic and International shooting. I wished I had these two books when I first started clay target shooting! I wouldn't have had to work so hard to reach my Olympic achievements and my career may have gone even further than it has! 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. -- Luca Scribani Rossis is an Olympic Shooting Coach and Instructor.
