I see where some 20 readers from 2006-2009 have given their reviews on Chris Batha's BREAKING CLAYS. So to start off 2010, I will give my reactions to the book which are also positive. I think this book makes for an excellent introduction to the shotgun sport of clay shooting in all its forms. I found it to be very complete since it touched on all aspects of clay shooting in a very perceptive and experienced way. I believe the thrust of the book was intended for beginners in clay shooting, but there is so much common sense here that even more experienced shooters would benefit from reading it. I especially liked some of the "tips and tricks" Batha gives to help shooters with the hard targets (for example see page 131 on where to stand at skeet's High house station). Another aspect of Chris Batha's writing which I found most useful is his willingness to give both the pros and cons of various shooting methods. (You will find this in Chapter 9 -- "The Basics of Straight Shooting," my favorite chapter in the book. Chapter 8 on "Gun Fit" was also very well done.)
Even though this book was published originally in the UK in 2005, I think its advice transcends national boundaries and can be easily read and understood by clay shooters in North America and elsewhere (to their benefit).
In a way I am not surprised that Mr. Batha's book touches all the bases since he also has. Not only has Chris Batha been a successful competitive clays shooter for decades, but he is also an experienced shooting instructor, custom gunfitter, and contributes articles on shotguns and shooting for a variety of publications on both sides of the Atlantic. (Presently, Chris Batha is the sportings clays writer for the U.S.
