This Month In Clay Target Nation

By

The April issue of Clay Target Nation has plenty of great content that will help you improve your game as the skeet and sporting clays season start opening.

In our Training Tips, don’t miss instructor Tim Short’s advice on why shooting relaxed is powerful, and his tips on how to relax your body while you shoot. On the sporting clays side, Gil and Vicki Ash have some insight into how to train your brain to point in front of something instead of directly at it.

Still having trouble finding ammo and reloading components? Bryce Towsley got in touch with several of the big companies to give you an update on why shelves still aren’t always full. Victoria Stellato has some tips for the upcoming NSSA Kolar U.S. Open, while Tim Le Cras takes you on a tour through the history of shotgun shells and how they’ve developed and advanced over the years. We also have a profile on Zoli, and don’t miss our interviews with Shelby Moon, Karen Miles and Andy Duffy on how they prepare for big tournaments.

Lastly, this issue also features the complete lists of the 2023 NSCA Krieghoff All-American Teams, the NSCA 12-Gauge FITASC All-American Teams, the NSCA American Field Sporting All-American Teams, and the 2023 NSCA High-Volume Shooters.
