Western Shooting Journal - February 2014

En este asunto

We are a regionally oriented yet national-in-scope magazine for Western firearms and gun-lifestyle enthusiasts.

Published monthly, our first issue came out in spring 2012.

Our X factor? All other firearms titles on newsstands today are basic “gun review” pieces. Similar to Car & Driver, their coverage is nearly all product oriented.

On the other hand, Western Shooting Journal’s the voice of the Western shooting enthusiast. We’ll cover not only the new must-have products straight from the annual SHOT and NRA Shows, but we’ll also use our unique brand of human-interest storytelling to cover the personal side of the Western gun world, including articles on:

· Western gun culture

· The “Open Carry” movement

· Concealed-carry laws, issues and lifestyle

· Profiles on Western gun enthusiasts, gun-friendly politicians, and celebrities

· Gunsmiths, gun artists and their craft

· Stories on cowboy action shooting

· Stories on uniquely Western shooting sports ­– varmint hunting, long-range shooting, blackpowder, and more

· Stories on Western shooting events

· Western hunting, knives, law enforcement

· Nostalgic pieces

· Stories on guns and women – the fastest growing segment of the shooting community
