be done.  How do the top competitors make it look so easy?  Do they have some magic gift?  While some shooters do have more natural ability than others, consistent winners are VERY good at one thing...executing fundamentals over, and over, and over.  Good shooters know that high scores and birds in the bag do not come from luck alone, they come from dedicated practice of executing the fundamentals of good shotgun shooting.

In this issue of the Wing and Clay Flyer, there are several articles dealing with fundamentals.  The feature article takes a look at eye-dominance, what I consider a foundational element of good shotgun shooting.  An article on target focus and a skeet fundamentals video review are also included to help improve your game.

Until Next Time,
Good Shooting!
