remember, it really is old school! his book was 1st edition, so if its 89, its probably a reprint hopefully with the corrections. 1st edition had a lot of pen and ink errors like pic headings under wrong pics etc...but the gist of it was pretty solid.
just remember back then, in the book, sporting clays was called a quail walk.
i was self taught. this book was all i used when i visited ranges. it got me going, and then i started gleening off those around me and i developed my own style. i dont claim any one teacher/instructors influence.
much like a martial arts pro might note, i got a karate style kick, with a judo style flip, with a thaiquandoh mishmash of ju-gitzu in betweens......that works.
it works to my advantage because no one can tell what im about to do next at big shoots. everyone tries to figure me out with....is he a bender style or woo style? no, it seems to be a jb combo with a paxton flip and a mayes backhand.....or whoever else is now king of the hill, lol.
they try so hard not to admit...its just bob kuczynski shooting the bob kuczynski way. individuals today arent suppose to know what to do without a world class teacher that taught them...or at least bought the video. its just not the rage and so not cool to be self taught. heck, video gamers even buy the books on how to beat the game before playing it! lol.
tiger woods i am not. but i do kuczynski real well.
i mean serious? how many ways are there to eat a hamburger? and whats the purpose of eating the hamburger?
it all starts with ordering a burger, sitting down and doing the preparation to eat.
after that its hail mary.
this book is what i bit into and started choking, spitting, using ketchup, hold the onions with...and before you knew it....i liked hamburgers and always ordered the same one when i was hungry...and it went down a lot nicer and was more enjoyable.
