Is it for you?

This is for you if…

  • There's a target on your course you dread: the rabbit, the teal, the long crosser.
  • You shoot well in practice, then your head gets loud when the score matters.
  • You'd like to read a target before you call for it, instead of guessing.
  • You shoot sporting, or any clay game, and want simple fixes, one at a time.

It's not for you if you're hoping for a magic choke. In Italy we fix the shooter first.

Valentina Pedretti

Meet the author

Ciao, I'm Valentina

I grew up on my family's shooting ground on Lake Garda, and I'm a several-time Italian sporting champion. Today I run our shooting school.

In Italy we teach one thing at a time: read the target, move with it, break it, and stay calm. I bring that to you one simple fix at a time.

These three books hold the whole method, in order. Every chapter has a gentle version for a stiff back, sore shoulders or older eyes, and a box for left-handed shooters.

Calma, and let's break the hard ones. — Valentina

Questions

Before you
decide

Is this a printed book?

No. It's a digital book: a PDF you download right after payment. No physical book is shipped. You can print it at home or at any print shop, and read it on a tablet, phone or computer, zooming the text as large as you like.

Is it only for sporting clays?

Sporting is my home, but what I teach works on any clay field: reading the target, the mount, the lead and a calm head.

My back, my shoulder or my eyes aren't what they were.

Every chapter has a gentle version for a stiff back, sore shoulders, tired knees or older eyes. Vol. I and Vol. III also have a section on getting your body ready for a long round.

I've shot for years. Is this too basic?

No. It's for club shooters who already know the game. Open Fix It by Symptom, or Fix It by Target in Vol. I, at the problem you have today and go straight to the fix.

Do I need a new gun?

No. Use the gun you have. Vol. III shows you how to test your gear before you change anything.

Do I need to speak Italian?

No. Everything is in plain English. You'll pick up a word or two along the way, like calma.

I shoot left-handed. Does it work for me?

Yes. Every chapter and every drill has a box for left-handed shooters, and each book has a section that puts it all in one place.

What exactly do I get?

Digital books in PDF format. The complete collection gives you all three volumes. Each volume is also sold on its own ($27, $47 and $87), but the collection gives you all three for $97 and saves you $64.

How do I receive it?

Right after payment you get your download link, on screen and by email. Download the PDF and it's yours to keep. Nothing is shipped, and there's nothing to wait for.

Can I read it on a tablet or computer? Can I print it?

Yes. It opens on any phone, tablet or computer. You can zoom the text as large as you like, or print the pages and cards at home and take them to the range.

Is the payment secure?

Yes. You'll pay on a secure checkout page run by Payhip, a platform used by thousands of independent authors. Pay by card or PayPal. It's a one-time payment: no subscription.

What if it's not for me?

You're covered by a 15-day money-back guarantee. Ask for a refund within 15 days and you get every cent back. Just write to business@valentinaclays.com.

Read it.
Break it. Calma.
