Great shooting often happens when we stop trying to control every part of the shot.

Trust the Shot is a practical guide for sporting-clays shooters who want greater consistency by seeing the target clearly, moving without hesitation, and allowing their trained subconscious skills to work.  Howard Piper draws from his own shooting experience to explain why overthinking, forced movements, and concern about the result can interfere with abilities a shooter already possesses. Through straightforward instruction and relatable observations, the book explores target focus, natural movement, breathing, confidence, pressure, recovery after a miss, and the importance of returning to a simple process.

Readers will learn how to:
• See the target clearly
• Move naturally without hesitation
• Quiet conscious interference
• Trust the eyes and the trained subconscious
• Recover after a miss or difficult round
• Perform with greater confidence under pressure
• Return to the fundamentals when shooting feels complicated

The book is also personal. In the Author’s Preface, Piper shares his Christian testimony and the deeper lesson he has learned about placing trust in the right place.  Whether you are an experienced competitor or a recreational sporting-clays shooter, Trust the Shot offers a simple reminder: see the target, move with it, and let the shot happen.
