"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

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.

There is a lot of constructive information in Trap Shooting Secrets and Precision Shooting - The Trapshooter's Bible. The concepts in these two books are strongly presented, understandable and easily applied. If you would like to step into the world where professional trapshooter's reside, these books can reveal valuable technical information to improve your shooting. And, in conjunction with a qualified shooting instructor, these two books should give the trapshooter a high measure of success


Phil Kiner / All-American Trap Shooter
I have reviewed both of James Russell's new trapshooting books--I found them to be full of useful trapshooting tips. These books will be an excellent addition to every trapshooter's library.


Gary (Trapshooter from Smith River, CA)
Amazing! I want you to know you are not selling books you are selling dreams! Precision Shooting book and your Trap Shooting Secrets book is precisely and exactly what this sport needed for many years! Reading your books was easy to read and like taking a breath of fresh air. I just couldn't discover what I was doing wrong until I read your fantastic books. So many problems get fixed so fast and all of the advice and instructions you give all make perfect sense. Better yet they work as advertised! If it were not for your books I'd still be shooting poor scores, but not anymore. Your books are professionally printed with strong durable covers. I take the books to every trapshoot and they hold up real nice. The illustrations are powerfully effective too. You are charging too little money for these books. They are worth much more. I've won so much option money with them it's a great investment! You were right about one thing (among many) I'd never be able to learn these things on my own! A big thank you to you!


Dave (Trapshooter from Reno, NV)
I've been reading both your books Trap Shooting Secrets and Precision Shooting and think they have helped already. The books are a lot of good info, and well worth the price of admission. Thanks a bunch!


Harry - (Trapshooter from South Carolina)

I ordered the Precision Shooting book after reading your Trap Shooting Secrets book. Great information! I've been waiting for years for something like this. I always knew the pros were holding back or not giving out the real way to shoot. I have several videotapes and they always seem to lleave some little tip or procedure out. My advice on reading your books is to read and study only a few pages at a time, as you suggest. Otherwise the brain goes into overload as you give out a LOT of information. I tried your tip on calculating the proper side to shoot a target (the non-straightaway straightaway target) in practice last Saturday. Shoot it on the wrong side or try to center it and you just get a regular break. Shoot it on the proper side and get a smoke ball! THIS STUFF IS GREAT! I was so impressed with your web site that I ordered your books. I read everything and my scores went up 5-birds in 100. The very first time out changing from my eye holds to your eye holds I shot 49/50.


Joy - (Trapshooter from Rhode Island)
"I have been trained by top notch instructors from Remington and Federal and an Olympic trainer and have never received the information that I did from you. I learned one heck of a lot. P.S.: I am NOT going to tell my friends about this!"


Ed - (Trapshooter from Marlton, New Jersey)
"I enjoyed your Trap Shooting Secrets book so much that I am ordering your other book, "Precision Shooting - The Trapshooter's Bible." Right after reading your Trap Shooting Secrets book I won the ATA North Eastern Grand Satellite shoot on September 1997 and I just started shooting in June of 1997!! I'm going to the Grand American in Vandalia, Ohio!"

But if you don't have this inner knowledge you can never learn precision shooting skills, no matter how much you practice. It's a fact. Even the pros rely on coaching advice and instruction.
