I read these books cover to cover as a teenager. I found that whenever I followed the advice given in Jack's books, I never went wrong. I believe that 90% of what he wrote is still as true today as when he wrote it.
I think most of us of a certain age probably did the very same thing. Although he wrote mostly about hunting out west, I still devoured his books while the smell of orange blossoms wafted through the window screens. And although he was primarily known for his rifle articles, I found his shotgun book to very helpful. Some of what he says is dated, but in a lot of ways it's still the same.

"An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown
