It's that time of year when my thoughts turn to holidays, not least because I am going in two weeks!!!

Looks like shooting will be taking a break as the Barbados club is very expensive so I thought I might spend the time lying on the sun bed doing a bit of reading...in particular I am quite interested in the more mental side of things at the moment ( a bit like Topdogs 8 into 10's sort of thing)

Wonder if anyone could recommend any good books about the psychology side of things or visualisation or just on shooting in general...

Of course I might just end up lying there drinking cocktails but at least I will have gone with good intentions....and therein lies the road to hell as they say...

Jen, if you want a good read look at a book called "to the target" it's a bit dry but you might find it useful.

You can borrow mine if you want.

Not sure you have shot at the Barbados club, but if not then I would recommend ticking it off your list . Some nice targets, good hosts, nice clubhouse and decent rental guns. I know it'll cost c £100 but it is worth it, if only to get the weekly shooting fix. As for books I never tire of referring back to Chris Batha's breaking clays. Make sure you try to get down to Oistins for the Friday night food, drink and reggae night. Enjoy the holida.

a target in the sky

aimed at ot but as its primarily about the mental aspect it is all relevant.

Oops. Just checked their website, costs have just gone mental. It's now £200 for 100 birds EEK!!!!! Was 6 yrs ago that I was last there. Defo not worth £200 unless you have severe shooting cold turkey....

 
Or save yourself a few quid and read shoot clay forums. Most of the info you would want from any subject can be found on here. Just don't mention poi or poa

 
Edit

just in case it could inadvertently cause offence.
