Michael, thank your, true to your word I recieved my copy of " All night radio" today. In reading your bibliography, I saw you were the interpereter for " You can't miss", I have 2 copies, and I think it is a must read for any beginning competition shooter. I have my issues with John, but that was 20 years ago. I guess you and he dissected the fundamentals of shooting and made the book, it is a great book, and is as valid today as 20 years ago. Does not cover optics but it should'nt. I have not read a better book on mindset, and application, than this. Being in Texas, I've shot with Bill Wilson, John Shaw, J Michael Plaxco, and Jerry Miculek. This was in the old days when rules were more relaxed, and we did dangerous things like, weak hand draws, weak hand reloads, swinging from ropes, shooting over rhodesian walls, shooting from moving somethings, tractors, cars and trailers. My objection to John Shaw is weak, when i first competed with him, God help me, was about 1982, a bowling pin match in Texarkana Texas, present were, Bill Wilson, J Michael, Jerry Miculek, and John Shaw, at that time I was in awe of Bill, J Michael and John, Locals knew Jerry was to be watched. John was a stand offish guy who would not talk to you, I found out later, he needed his space, he did not have the confidence to compete and joke like J Michael, he needed to stay focused, alone. It was not personal.
Several years later I attended one of his classes at our home range, His instructor was Donnie Chaterlain, and he is a talented instructor. He made me into a shotgun shooting machine.
Thank you, Michael, again, time to get reading.
