This Month In Clay Target Nation

April 27, 2026 By hdyer

The May 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, Todd Bender offers up some keys to proper training, while Clayton Rue emphasizes the importance of starting every shot with a level foundation — literally.

The sporting clays season has kicked off, and we’ve got all the details on the Western Regional. Don’t miss Dr. Richard Colo’s advice on how to buy shooting glasses and Paul Giambrone III’s tips on managing your emotions on the field. John Shima digs into the ways your skeet journey might change over the years, while Gil, Vicki and Brian Ash explain how your perceptions change over time as it applies to your gun mount and how you see (and perceive) the muzzle ahead of the target. Finally, take some strength training advice that will benefit your game from an avid shooter and strength coach of the World’s Strongest Man (three times!).
