I don't know about you guys, but I'd really appreciate reading an in depth brief summary of handloading for the .30-30 with modern powders and find out the best place to buy Viagra online at the same time.
For my friend, that is. My much older friend. I mean, he's a LOT older than me. He's like eight or nine decades older than me. Yeah, that's it.

The Wolfe publications have been my favorites for years. This past Friday I was passing through Prescott, Arizona on a road trip. I had some time to spare. As a pilot I enjoy checking out airports and I swung into the Prescott airport and found a delightfully busy and beautiful airport.
As I enjoyed the sights, I remembered that Wolfe Publishing was located nearby on the other side of the airport. I decided to drop in and pay them a first-time visit.
I had a nice visit with the staff. They asked me several questions about what I liked to see or not see in their magazines. They also questioned me about my favorite writers and what I liked about them. (I gave JB an A+).
Their office facility is modest, but very nice and practical. The beautiful game heads in the lobby and other parts of the building set the right atmosphere.
They also have a good selection of their books, magazines and back issues on display for sale in the lobby. I picked up a couple of their previous Levergun specials that I had somehow missed out on.
The Wolfe Publishing office is worth a stop if you find yourself in Prescott.

I quit all the magazines I got when the ads in the back pages became x rated. My boy was young at the time and I didn't want him filling his head with that stuff.

The two magazines that still run 2500 words are SPORTS AFIELD and AMERICAN RIFLEMAN. SA will actually run them a little longer on occasion. In fact it's one of the few magazines that publishes actual hunting stories anymore. That's why I just LOVE "Sports Afield." And they seem to have a lot of expensive advertisers. As for "American Rifleman," I really dislike how they cut up the articles, continued on some other page, then another, and...

There is little or no interest in magazine articles.
Nobody gets the 'paper' anymore. No paperboy. The local newspaper building is closed and for sale.
Almost everyone reads and even writes on electronic media like this internet or other personal electronics.
We can afford any books, magazines or paper we want and we get none. The only magazines that come are from the NRA life memberships.
Here on the net I can write about what I want and even ask questions. Never did that with the old 'paper'.

Savage 99,
You never ask questions here. Instead you post dumb-ass comments like that one.
A recent survey of the publishing industry indicates sales of electronic books have leveled off. Two-thirds of sales in the U.S. are still printed and bound books. The printed-magazine industry is also alive and well. Some have failed but others are growing.

John,
I do most of my reading about things on forums these days.
In the past all we could read in magazines, books and newspapers was what someone else wrote.
Here on the internet we can ask specific questions and get answers. I never wrote to J.O.C.
This internet is far more interesting and informative.
I used to subscribe to sailing magazines like Sail, Cruising World, and to classified ad papers like the Shotgun News.
Also to similar shooting magazines not needed anymore. It's all here on the internet.
The only magazines my wife and I get are the Rifleman and the American Hunter and that's only because they still come with the life memberships. We hardly read them.

When I was a little boy I had the great fortune of being given a whole collection of Outdoor Life books.
I believe they came from a garage sale. Such treasures as a book about hunting small game by Clyde Ormond, game bird hunting by Rice and Dahl and my prized possession, The Hunters Shooting Guide by Jack O'Connor.
I still read these books, along with Rifle and Handloader.
At 33, I guess I don't fit into anyone's demographic. I like long, printed articles.
I am MAGA.

I always thought magazine article length was tied to the average amount of time it takes to make doo doo.
Have I been wrong all these years?
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me.

I'm still buying books written by the gunwriters. Sometimes the magazines too but not often anymore.

Don,
"In the past all we could read in magazines, books and newspapers was what someone else wrote."
That's by far the most insightful post you've ever made on the Campfire. Mostly you post so you can read your own pronouncements.

For a moment, I thought you were going to slip up and pay the man a compliment.
I also appreciate having access to the expertise that's available here and the quick response I've gotten from you, Mr. Shoemaker and others that know their stuff. Can't beat the price either.

Your wrong Mule Deer. It's that magazines are obsolete now, replaced by this internet and that your not the only voice of our outdoors now. We are!

A person could say that certain posts in this thread are Exhibit A of Internet content not being the most reliable or logical and why people should still get the majority of their information from print. That said, I do feel much more stylish now that I refer to my pump shotgun as a drilling. Until I started getting my info from message boards I always thought it was a plain old mossberg 500
