Recommended reading thoughts??

[El Spavo]

Thought I'd post this in the technically correct so forum which hasn't had a post for 3 years and see what happens?!

Having a large blip in my shooting that's frustrating me so my lovely wife gave me my Xmas present early, Breaking Clays by Chris Batha, and so far it's a very entertaining read.

So does anybody have any other recommendations for reading material, and subsequently does anyone have any books they think it's worth avoiding in this day and age and why that is?

Thanks.

Shotgunning: The Art and the Science, Bob Brister (ISBN: 9781602393271).

The first and only book I have purchased so far. Have to say, I found it disappointing. The ‘science’ just isn’t very scientific. The experiments it goes into are vague, the variables aren’t really well documented or articulated and the conclusions are anecdotal with an obvious omission of the laws of physics. 

Free to a good home

I bought three, two spent too much time on interpretation of rules and how stands should be laid out for competition. 

The one below is a complete beginners guide, laid out in simple terms, step by step over a course of lessons. If you've ever instructed or maybe taught - any subject, you'll be familiar with lesson plans of which this book reminds me of. Enjoyable, entertaining and educational.

., I didn't scan down enough to see the bottom of that book, saw the bloke holding the gun, and thought, "wow, did everyone in the 70s just look like Tony jacklin?!"

I have a set of DVDs I bought when I first started 15 years ago, Clay Coach. They weren’t modern even then. If anybody wants to borrow them, let me know. You will learn little about shooting but you will learn where Bob Fleming from the fast show (plus a bit of Ted and Ralph) were taken from. There’s one bit where plas wads are written off as modern rubbish and a vital gun cleaning tool is a large feather.

Are you saying people used to clean guns??

Here is a part that can I like:

It was posted on April the 12th 2019, with a notion "Be sure to keep an eye out for the next part coming soon!"...I am looking forward to the next part from then on, but so far in vain.

Back at the beginning of my personal shooting journey - and having got obsessively hooked I read/watched everything that I could find - there isn't that much out there in truth.

I stumbled over John Bidwell's Mount-Mount-Shoot method and his DVD 'Shotgun Magic' and found it useful https://highlodge.co.uk/john-bidwell-shooting-publications-and-dvds/ 

I've discovered in my working life that most forms of training have useful 'nuggets of knowledge' embedded within and this is no different - some work well for you and others less so with the important point of having an open mind.

Absolutely agree. Found many guitar tuition books which have one brilliant paragraph or chapter amongst utter sloblock! A lot of transcriptions are so off the money and miles away from the actual note choice and even sometimes what is even played that it's scary how bad they are, yet touted as the official thing! Wheat from the chaff, I believe they say.

ONLY if they used lead shot   !

The only instruction book that any shooter needs is Churchill's.  There were none of any consequence prior and every one since has been nothing more than a discovery of a magic new technique that is always nothing more than a pirating of Churchill.

I knew he won the war but didn't know he was a shooter.
