Call it the Annual Covid Memorial Issue, to honor all the annual sportsmen shows that got canceled in the off season....
It's you and the bullet, and all the rest is secondary.

Thanks to all who responded!
Now I'll respond to some of the individual comments.

.I'd like to see articles on stuff that didn't work, and explanations and theories as to why not.
"Things that went wrong."
That can be just as enlightening as the success stories---maybe even more so. That's a good idea. I've included some of that from time to time, but have some interesting stories along that line!

Count me in.....I personally think you need to do it monthly. Will gladly pay for it! Unfortunately, if we did go monthly, we wouldn't have time to do some of our other jobs, such as writing the books we publish that appear on the website, along with RLN!

Can someone give me some information as to what is included in the Rifle Looney News?
Do you pick a rifle or caliber and make it the talking point? And is this email subscription? It comes out four times a year, and includes hunting stories, technical gun articles, close looks at good guns we've known, game field care, recipes for various kinds of game, a dessert recipe every issue (often something that can be carried and eaten in the field), and reviews of stuff from optics to books to whatever seems relevant to hunting.

"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

I'm in...started subscribing when it was $8/yr. I would like to see a multi-article in-depth take on topics that are hard to fully cover in a single article or something along the line of collection of short stories. Would also be interesting if there were "guest" contributors. Keep up the good work! Scott

Well, this thread gave me the nudge to resubscribe to RLN and order GGII while I was about it. Oh yeah, went on Amazon and got the Kindle version of the Tiger book reviewed.

......the occasional hunter wielding a hopelessly inaccurate rifle, living by the fantastical rule that this cartridge can deliver the goods, regardless of shot placement or rifle accuracy. The correct term for this is minute of ego.

Sounds good. I don't subscribe but buy the book every five years. It's a long time to wait though.

Would also be interesting if there were "guest" contributors. Keep up the good work! Scott We did have at least one guest contributor early on. Phil Shoemaker did an article on "Old Ugly," his favorite back-up rifle for guiding clients after brown bears. But since RLN doesn't take advertising, it doesn't make enough money to pay other contributors as much as they deserve, though once in a while somebody volunteers something. (Phil did get paid a little.)
