I'll start with the obvious: Shotgunning, The Art and The Science by Bob Brister.

Less obvious is the original Shotgun Digest by Robert Stack. Stack was a national skeet champion in his youth, but he doesn't take himself too seriously as he says that it was a lot easier to become a champion at the time because the sport was still pretty new. The book is dated in a number of ways, but it is still a good read.

O.K. I've shown you mine. Now you show me yours.

Agree with Brister's Book.

Misseldine's Score Better at Skeet and his other-
Score Better at Trap

Read and have the first...I stayed with skeet, then sporting clays, 5 stand. The second book I skimmed.

Realize these may be antiquated by today's standards's, suggested "method's", but how I learned. Then again by some standards perhaps I'm antiquated.;)

Gene Hill's Shotgunner's Notebook is a personal fave.

Steve Smith's books on upland gunning are good.

Spiller, Buckingham and Babcock are great entertainment, and Nash Buckingham may have been the first shotgunner since Kimble to make an appreciable difference in the hardware.

Keith's book is dated,and his ego was monumental. However, there's a lot of good info.

Greener's book is a long Infomercial on Greener products, and his ego matched Keith's. But there's good data in it.

Orvis has a couple books on upland hunting. Other than the unwritten insistance that one needs a high dollar double with a pedigree to hit anything, nice stuff about English style game shooting.

Jerry Meyer's Clay Target Handbook gives a nice overview of the clay sports, and plenty of tips.

I recently needed this one, and I found it used through amazon.com: (by Jay Barclay) The Gun Digest Book of Firearms Assembly/Disassembly: Shotguns

The book is fairly old, but it has some really good information about complete assembly and disassembly details of many of the popular shotguns of the 20th century.
