Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What gunwriter has spewed out the

Problems exist with paper published articles and Internet articles, but I've noticed more shortcomings with many Internet articles. They are often not well edited. Additionally, the subject matter doesn't receive adequate coverage because the "article" (if you can call a few hundred or even a thousand words an article) is very superficial (inadequate research and testing). That's not to say many such works don't contain useful information, because they do, just not a lot of it.

There are exceptions. Glen Fryxell cast bullet articles come to mind.

Absolutely....I must have blocked him out of my subconscious. No writer has ever done more to put baseless fear into the mind of the gun carrying public, and law Enforcement, than all the civil attorneys on earth. What a POS.

Another fan of Seyfried here. I really liked his African hunting stories.

Most of Jeff Coopers writings should be under Fiction in the library.

Talk about spewers of bull crap, I would list the people on here that threw out all these names with out a single example. Good think none of you are "professional" writers.

Back when "Bowhunter Magazine" was in its infancy as a part-time endeavor...Tink Nathan of Tinks #69 fame wrote for Bowhunter and a SLIM BALL of the highest order.

Chuck Hawks or Peter Hathaway Capstick.

Friends,

A few comments; Elmer Keith and Bill Jordan were totally the real deal and I was fortunate enough to call both my friends.

Same comments about my long-term friend and confident, Finn Aavgaard. Finn was the best!!! And I miss him horribly.

Brian Pearce I never met, but my non-biological brother, Chub Eastman, totally vouched for him, both as a man and a devotee to killing the sh1t out of critters. Chub (dammit, I miss you, my brother!!!) was an excellent judge of character and I'd have to accept Brian, who I've never met, as a friend and one of the BEST.

Clay Harvey was just the opposite; not an original thought in his tiny brain and a penchant for writing the opinions of others (mostly because he had NO field experience). And, like most amateur writers, he loved to sport six-syllable words that his readers did not understand ... mostly so he would seem intelligent.

Last I heard of Clay, after he swindled me out of about 10-to-15K of Rolex watches, was that the slimy sonofabitch was working as a gopher in a South Carolina yogurt shop.

Perhaps, he is well-suited for that job. Maybe less ... probably less, actually

God Bless You All,

Steve

PS. Pete Capstick? Great story-teller, but experience and truthfulness? Maybe not so much I met Pete a few times and he was a fun guy, though a boozer and a bullshitter. Still, his words are fun.

I loved reading Elmer Keith, Finn Aavgaard and Charles Askins.

Dick Metcalf. Okay technically, but an elitist Fudd.

The one place I found good writers was Precision Shooting........best magazine ever.

Handloader is my absolute 'must have' Rifle a little less so. I can miss an issue every now and then and not notice. I am diggin' RECOIL though. It's kinda spendy per copy, but it's a very high quality mag and the content interests me.

Dick Wright was the main writer there it seems, he wrote very well. Brennan hisownself was good too, but he left most up to the others.

PS had good technical articles that you don't find in the magazine racks in grocery stores. I have some very old American Rifleman magazines where they had good technical stuff too, back before the lawyers would sue the pants off you for writing a how-to piece and a dumba$$ blew his finger off.

I never had much time for Sherriff Wilson and his always pressed white shirt

John Sundra was a toad as well

Nick Sisley got under my skin too
