I am new to clay shooting and my scores are still a bit poor. I went for a few rounds of DTL today, having read one chapter of the book which dealt with trap shooting. The advice on gun hold position was a revelation, and my lowest score was 21ex25, highest 23ex25; my best score so far. I shall be reading the chapters concerning sporting clays with great interest! If you're new to shooting, this book is a must.

Excellent introduction (and guide for the more advanced)
This book is in my opinion an excellent guide for beginners. I was my first book on the subject and I can highly recommend it. All aspects of clay shooting are covered, both the technical details as well as equipment, rules, tips & tricks and training advice. It has a well balanced view on different shooting methods and does not favor any particular style or technique. I like that because some authors (like John Bidwell) spend too many pages praising their own approach to clay shooting.
The book is very well illustrated and easy to read. You can jump back and forward between chapters, which can be read independently. It has a good bibliography section and a special chapter on the mental aspects of shooting.
All together a good investment, that you can use as a reference. I would expect that the more advanced and experienced shooters could also benefit from studying this book.
This hardcover print is of high quality (photos, paper quality).
