Summary: Excellent book!
Review: Bottom line . . . these books work! Don't think of "Trap Shooting Secrets" and Precision Shooting - The Trapshooter's Bible" as simply books, think of them as equipment. Simple as that! I sincerely recommend these books to anyone who wants, not only to be a better trap shooter, but also a better shot on game. Excellent books! Bill Brown, Associate Editor of GunWeb Magazine.

Summary: Study These Books!
Review: Denis Field (Syndicated shooting sports television show host) Although I've been hunting/shooting for over 30 years, I shot my first trap shoot on 6/6/99. My scores were; 81/singles, 73/handicap, 67/doubles. I purchased both books (Trap Shooting Secrets and Precision Shooting - The Trapshooter's Bible) and applied the shooting tips and techniques. My competition scores steadily increased. On 8/1/99, by applying the shooting advice, I scored 95/singles, 92/handicap, 89 doubles. I've won option money in the Lewis class, 25's & 50's. I've shot 2-25 straights and 1-49 in handicap competition. I've already won back the money I invested in the books. I feel every serious shotgun enthusiast, not just trap shooters, novice to pro, should study these books. The concentration tips work in golf. Even though I hadn't played in over 10 months, I adapted the techniques to my game and won a local 18 hole scramble tournament. I sank 10 out of 12 birdie attempts.

Summary: Duped by Livingston I presume
Review: I bought this book based on all of the positive reviews I read. However, after recieving the book I am immensely disapointed. I am neither a newbie nor an expert to trap shooting but rather part of the mass of recreational shooters looking for tips that will help me improve my weekend shooting. This book offered few if any substantive tips that I can take to the range with me. Subsequent to my purchase I read another review where it seems that all of the positive feedback is coming from the author himself. That certainly explains the rosey reviews. I feel like I was hoodwinked. Knowing what I know now about A)the poor quality of the content and B)the bogus reviews, I would recommend you steer clear of this book.
Please note that this review is not from Livingston, TX.

Summary: Highly Recommend These Books!
Review: I cannot recommend these books strongly enough, both are written in a plain straightforward way that makes it easy to follow the advice given. If there should be any lack of understanding the abundance of diagrams and sketches illustrate the points perfectly. I recommend these books to anyone who is new to trapshooting and even the experts will find something to surprise. Definitely a 'must have' in any shooters kit bag. ALAN RHONE

Summary: Very Effective Shotgun Shooting Books
Review: I purchased both of James Russell's fine books; Trap Shooting Secrets and Precision Shooting - The Trapshooter's Bible. After reading and rereading them, I know they have helped improve my scores. After reading the books, I found "my zone" and dusted 123 out of 125! The advice and instructions in these shotgun shooting books are truly powerful. My scores have absolutely improved! Of most importance. I found in the books, is finding the zone and when and where to pull the trigger. I found success after reading these books. In fact, they are so good, I read them a few dozen times, and these are not small books, they are huge in content. There is a tremendous amount of information in these books with many dozens of enlightening illustrations. I recommend you read both of Mr. Russell's trap shooting books, so you can reach your true potential quickly to be a top-notch shooter. The author has excellent works here and I'm most certainly looking forward to his next publication. Shooting is much more fun now that I don't miss the targets like I used to. If your scores are not where you want them to be, these are the books to make you a better shooter!

Summary: Look closely at the other reviews...
Review: It seems rather odd that the overwhelming majority of reviews (all of which award this book 5 stars) are anonymous postings from Livingston, Texas. A quick internet search reveals that the author, James Russell, lives in Livingston. In fact, one review for this book is written by a "James Russell" from Livingston, though the reviewer states that he is "new to trap shooting and 56 years of age" It seems clear that Mr. Livingston is anonlymously writing reviews for his own book and giving it five stars to boost its ratings. If the book were really as good as he claims it is, one wonders why it would be necessary to falsely boost the ratings. Interestingly, a search on Amazon of James Russell's other books, such as those on screenwriting display the same tendency: many laudatory 5-star reviews from Livingston, TX, including some from the author, who claims to have benefited greatly from the wisdom of the book. Strange indeed!

Summary: The Books Deliver On The Promise!
Review: The Books Deliver On The Promise! New to trap shooting and 56 years of age, I was hitting only 75 of 100 in singles and handicap, until I read Trap Shooting Secrets and Precision Shooting - The Trapshooter's Bible. On my first shoot I shot 181x200 in singles! My previous best score was only 168, so I picked up 13 targets right away. On handicap, my best was 75, but after reading the books my score jumped to 80, and that was on a very rainy cold day. How much of the books did I read to increase these scores? Three tips! Yes, just three shooting tips! In my opinion, these books are remarkable and I highly recommend shooter's read the books if they wish to see an increase in scores. Here's more! I followed the first phase of the practice tips, tightened my choke, employed the snap shooting technique, as advised in the books, and smoked the targets hard. Without a coach, I found it difficult to improve my shooting. These clay target shooting books is like having a coach by your side giving you inside knowledge and advice. There is valuable information in these books. The books deliver on the promise. I'm one satisfied customer!
