I totally agree. I can see some of these videos being fun for preseason to sort of get you pumped up but most of the "instructional" videos are just bunk. They don't really offer me anything to improve my skills.
I have a couple buddies that I have introduced to waterfowling and they are absolutely hooked. They can't work a duck to save their life though. I have tried to help them through this with suggestions and reference to different call makers and CD's but the one thing I noticed is they all have their ideas on HOW to blow a call but seldom ever WHEN to blow a call.
I have an old Video though that I had thought I lost but just got back from a friend that I loaned it to some 4 years ago! It's Captain Charlie's "How to blow a duck call" and it really is great. Not only does he cover the basics of making the sounds but he goes into the instruction of when to use a hail call, a lonesome hen, a comeback, and a feeding chuckle. He even shows the birds in action. It's pretty basic but cool and it's just what my buddies need I think, I'm glad it was returned to me.
Anybody else have any experience with calling instruction not so much on HOW but more WHEN, I'd love to hear your suggestions.
