This Month In Clay Target Nation

June 26, 2026 By hdyer

The July 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. Plus, we’ve got plenty of event coverage as the shooting gets hot this summer.

In our Training Tips columns, you’ll find some helpful insight from Todd Bender about letting complacency sneak into your skeet game, and Anthony Matarese Jr. explores why consistency seems so elusive for some shooters.

Spring and summer have been packed with events, and we have coverage of the Krieghoff Masters, the Armed Services Skeet Championships, the Northeast Regional, the Briley Blue Goose and the Texas State Skeet Championships.

Instructor Peyton Higgison has some advice about connecting with the target in his article about letting “the other guy” shoot, while Dr. Richard Colo spells out what you should tell (and ask) your eye doctor at your next appointment to make sure your vision is optimized for shooting. John Shima explores the gap between your performance and your potential in his “Close Your Capability Gap” article. And don’t miss our article about distractions, where top sporting clays shooters share how they deal with distractions in the game — especially relevant as media coverage and competitive pressure continue to grow around the Pro Squad shooters at the National Championship.
