Very basic information

After reading it's obvious this is written for the complete novice. It goes into explanations of the various types of clay games, general rules, guidelines, and strategies. it even touched on gun care and maintenance. While I didn't get much from it, I will have my kids read this when they feel ready to begin learning the basics, so they at least have a sense of which format may interest them.

Great for beginners

I am just a little more experienced than a true beginner. This book gave me good mental points to keep in mind and reiterated the importance of having solid fundamentals to build off of.
