Book Description

Release Date: April 30 2007

How to control your vision and prevent flinching

Data on the flight dynamics of a skeet target and how we perceive it

Methods for teaching beginners and coaching advanced shooters

Skeet is easy, if you're happy breaking nine out of ten birds. But if you want to shoot 100 straight, this manual can help you achieve that goal. Since even excellent shooters tend to overlook many basic details, Mastering Skeet emphasizes fundamental techniques that will greatly improve your precision and consistency. It addresses various shooting methods and describes proper form, with notes on stance, posture, and balance, gun mount, foot position, pivoting, and follow-through. The book also discusses individual stations and examines common errors for each shot. Whether you're an experienced shooter looking for an extra edge or a beginner who wants to learn the basics of good technique, Mastering Skeet covers the full range of material necessary for success.

First Sentence
Skeet originated as off-season practice tor upland bird shooting, and many of us start out with either an inherited or a borrowed field gun that isn't particularly well suited for skeet. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars An Innovative Method of Learning and Teaching Skeet Sep 1 2007
By R. K. Marsh - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
King Heiple's new book on skeet is a very innovative and helpful way to learn the game of skeet. I have a large collection of skeet books from the 40's onwards and King's book is unique in that it stresses the WHY you do things, in addition to the HOW. An excellent book for new students, old skeet shooters that want to understand WHY (so they can fix it when it is broken) and a must have book for Instructors or wanna be Instructors. For many of us students it is much easier to do something that feels uncomfortable if we know WHY we are doing it ... King Heiple and the book; Mastering Skeet provides this and a whole lot more. Get it, Use It and I will see ya at the Stadium during the World (well maybe :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good over view and detailed information Aug 15 2008
By Randy M - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I'm just getting into skeet shooting and this was my first book that I have read. Its very well laid out and offers a significant amount of information. I was concerned that it my be a very dry read, but it turned out to be a quick and easy read.

Great for the beginners, I think some long time shooters would value the information also. I left one star off since the graphics could be better, although they do make the point.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mastering Skeet Jun 9 2009
By R. Mccormick - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am a long-time and competitive skeet shooter and found the reading of this was an important reminder of some of the basics I had taken for granted and had been violating. There's nothing like the written word to remind one of that which needs to be recalled and to act as a constant reminder and coach. This book does all that and will be carried with me in my shooting travel bags.
