I’ve written for Sporting Clays magazine since the early 1990’s. In poring over my articles, deciding which to choose to put on our website, I discovered two evolutions. Sporting clays and my own.
Sporting clays continues to be an elegant sport born of long tradition, fulfilling our wingshooting passion to experience the wing and shot. Feather and clay, inescapably tied, grants us so many learning opportunities to hone our skills, a path of personal growth that affords us a refreshing, unbiased look at ourselves. Time and again, my students have learned how entirely more capable they are than once thought. The American sporting clays shooter can honestly and proudly say, in a very short period, he has indeed advanced to take his rightful place among the best in the world. And, let’s not forget, no one is having more fun out here than you and I are.
The events, times, places and persons in my articles are all true. While I changed a name here and there, 100% of the information came from my experiences with you. Each tournament, each lesson, each experience with you generated the material for my work. I am grateful.
Should you decide to purchase an article, I have a favor to ask. Please remember that this is always more about you than equipment and methodology. To find the magic, look inside yourself, not outside.
I have 5 personal favorites. In order, they are: Where’s the Magic, Cheating the Basics, The Parachute Swing, Echoes, 3 Steps to a Broken Target
Thank you.
