The May issue of Clay Target Nation is full of hard-hitting tips and tactics to help you improve your shooting and have more fun.

In our Training Tips columns, John Shima humorously and astutely compares skeet shooting to the movie “50 First Dates,” while the team at OSP Shooting School reminds shooters that the longer they put off proper, deliberate practice, the more they’ll struggle.

This year, we’re celebrating CTN’s 10th anniversary by bringing you one article each issue from our 2016 archives, and in May, that’s a feature about gun damage — how to check for it and how to prevent it in the first place. We also take a look at sporting clays’ most popular side games and relive some truth-is-stranger-than-fiction stories from skeet’s past, courtesy of Robert Paxton. Dr. Richard Colo goes through some of the myths and mysteries regarding sports vision, and finally, don’t miss our interviews with Lauren Burge, Billy D. Williams and Rachel Barringer about how they prep for a big tournament.
