From the Cover:

   "Clay Pigeon Marksmanship is an instructional book of the first importance to all who wish to excel at an enthralling sport.

   Clay pigeon shooting is a sport which attracts people of all ages and occupations, and its popularity is always increasing. With the growing interest comes the need for expert tuition, and to fulfil the demands, the authors of the highly successful Shotgun Marksmanship and Shotgun and Shooter have collaborated to produce a thoroughly practical book with the principal object of teaching.

   After detailing the equipment needed and the remarkable different number of guns available to the clay pigeon shooter, the book describes the various forms of clay pigeon competitions; Down-the-Line, Skeet, Olympic Trench and Sporting. But above all, it shows clearly the best way to learn, practise, and gain experience. Each type of clay pigeon target, and the method of dealing with it is described in detail, with specially-taken photographs and diagrams to amplify the text."
