Few Sporting Clays Champions have accomplished as much in a lifetime as Anthony Matarese Jr. has in little more than a dozen years. Recognized as one of the top competitors in the U.S. and the world, Anthony has earned his way onto 12 All-American teams in 13 years of competing.  His list of accomplishments is long, impressive and still growing.

Initially coached by the legendary Dan Carlisle, Anthony has developed his own unique style, which he calls a “Dynamic” approach to Sporting Clays.  Many of Anthony’s students have gone on to achieve remarkable successes on their own.

Anthony reasoned that there may be a better method than a “do all” approach given the complexity and diversity that has come to define modern Sporting Clays. Anthony has developed a base technique with a few core principles that can be tailored to allow the shooter to engage in presentation in multiple ways depending on whether it is the first bird of a pair, the second, or a single as in F.I.T.A.S.C. Sporting. These principles include:

Break Point - Where you see the target the best or the clearest

Hold Point – Not to close or too far out from the trap & just below line (use your hand)

Speed – Timing of the mount with the speed of the bird.

Placement – of the gun relative to the bird….depends upon speed, angle, and distance

FOCUS - rings, edges, bottom, shiny spots
