This is a great thread.
Connecting to our resident writers deepens as I get to know them as the human beings they are.
One of the guys who grabbed me a few years ago was Phil Shumaker. I read one of his outstanding articles about an Alaskan hunting adventure in a Wolf publication. It was my first of many of Phil's articles to follow. Phil, you are an outstanding communicator. I love reading your writings.
John Barsness is stellar. One of the guys from the small town I live in was at the range shooting with me some time ago. We got to discussing who the best writer was, Jack O'Connor or John Barsness. We both voted for JB.
SDH, your work speaks loudly....... So does your writing and photography. I LOVED your pix on the covers of Accurate Rifle. I wish I could remember what Dave Brennan said exactly, but he said that you must play first fiddle for the Boston pops too, or words to that effect.. Talk about talent in action, poetry in motion, SDH is that.
Bart, I love reading your articles as it's that kind of writing I connect to very well. The real life drama captures me. Keep it coming...
Steve Redgwell, your down home writings here on 24 hour are awesome. I love 'em. Wish you could get some of them in magazines. I do think you should compile them into a book and publish it. I'd buy it.
Ken O, didn't know you were writing till I saw a post you made here about the 6x47. You've done a ton for us shooter with your chronographs. I'll be looking for more of your writings as you are a very good man.
Rockey, being retired Army, I appreciate your service and your writings here on the forum. Being a pilot, especially an IP, moves you to the top. I haven't read any of your writings in print, but would love to see some in pubs. Living in Ogden doesn't hurt your image a bit..LOL I lived in Bountiful.
Turp, I love what you write. I've left my subscription lapse to the pubs you write for, but TODAY I will be renewing them. It's been my loss for not keeping current. And, KUDOS for your military career. Thank you.
Kevin, I'd love to read some of your stuff. If you'd keep us informed on what you have coming out, I'd appreciate it, and I'd buy the pub.
Don, Hang in there. Like Ken says, "It's a cinch by the inch, but hard by the yard ". I'm not a handgun guy, but will be subscribing to Handguns for my oldest son who is a pistol loonie. Thanks for your Military service.
Franz, I'd like seeing you get involved in writing here in the US. You have a such a wonderful history to contribute to us here; stuff we never get to read. I love the European hunting traditions, and would enjoy reading what you have to say. (I'm a BIG fan of German triggers, like FWB and Anschutz <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />)
sscoyote, Bob Bell lives in Mechanicsburg, PA, where my brother lives. I'm originally from PA. Bob was editor of the PA Game News and is a friend of Jack Lewis, IIRC I have Bob's book on scopes.
Ken Howell, you're the leader of the pack. I have your OUTSTANDING treatise on cartridges about 3 feet from where I sit. You're our main man!!! I enjoy your writings here on the campfire, and the one I read in Varmint Hunter Magazine not long ago.
Don
