his book has quite a bit of info on common games, some of the less common games, equipment selection, history, basic instruction, etc. It is an easy read with a ton of good info. I think it is a great starting point.

Excellent, Systematic Approach to Shotgun Sports
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Written by the coach of Yale's Skeet and Trap teams, the style of this book should appeal to past and present athletes who are used to a regimented approach to a sport. Migdalski's book is especially suitable for anyone just starting out, but would be a useful reference for those seeking to improve. The books strong points were its systematic approach to developing good technique and practicing effectively. I would have given this book 5 stars, but I did not find the chapters on fitness/conditioning, nutrition, and psychology very relevant (at least to me, maybe those with Olympian aspirations might feel differently). That said, I'd say this would be an excellent choice for the beginner buying just one book on the subject. If you're less interested in how to shoot the different games and more interested in developing your technique, I'd have to give the nod to Yardley's "Positive Shooting." But why not buy them both?
