The February issue of Clay Target Nation is packed full of tips and tactics that will help you find more success and have more fun on the sporting clays course or the skeet field this season.
In our Training Tips columns, John Shima advises shooters on how they can use discipline to develop confidence, while Bill Elliott encourages you to build a vision for 2026 and make it happen, keeping an eye on your goals.
We kick off the features with an in-depth piece that examines free recoil — what exactly it is and how we can minimize it. Paul Giambrone III has an article advising skeet shooters to stop expecting perfection, while Anthony Matarese Jr. takes a look at some of the reasons we miss targets and offers tips on cleaning up your game. Haylyn Hanks chimes in with tips on building a winning mindset, and Victoria Stellato has lots of advice for prepping for your first tournament. Don’t miss Dr. Richard Colo’s article on how to properly use your vision in skeet and sporting clays, and finally, sporting clays shooters will want to check out our preview of this year’s upcoming Regional shoots, including a unique new format for the Northeast Regional.
