Still reading print media?

As a kid, I could not wait for the next issue of Hot Rod. I always had 3 of 4 different ones in my bag at school. Once the LS came out, everything became snap together, plug and play. LS engines are the black plastic guns of the hot rod scene.

Also, my dad was a member of the Confederate Air Force. Their warbird mag, Dispatch, was another read that I always enjoyed. Like @Sparks of Dutch Glory shingles, those pages of planes covered my walls.

Now it's all black plastic LS engines and the 'Commemorative' Air Force.

Still get Muzzleloader & Muzzle Blast, both since the 70s. Get Rifle & Handloader & American Rifleman. Dropped the old west magazines . Loved Primitive Archer but they lost me when the went digital. If it isn't printed on paper it's not a magazine for me. Yes I do have all the back issues stored neatly. Do you miss things like Smoke & Fire News & The Buckskin Report?

I get mMuzzleloader and muzzle blasts plus NRA’s American Rifleman. Muzzleloader isn’t what it was. Pretty photos, but few articles I really like. I have almost all the old back issues and reread them. I understand they try to service everyone. Okay. It just doesn’t work for me.

i joined the nmlra to read John Curry’s articles. There don’t seem to be many. i have the digital version and it’s kind of a pain to deal with. I don’t care about shoots in Indiana. Since they raised the digital price to $50 a year, this is my last year. I get American rifleman… I rarely read it. I’ve tried all the nra mags and none hold my interest. I might just tell them “no magazine”.

My .2 cents

I read Muzzleloader cover to cover! In fact my SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER issue showed up this past Friday, 10-25-2024!! Thank you USPS for eventually delivering it two months late...still in pristine condition thanks to the plastic wrapper Jason pays for! THANK YOU, JASON for going that extra step.

I also subscribe to Muzzle Blasts until June when my membership expires. I will NOT renew for $75 a year, even after being a member for 25+ years. MB is not half the magazine Muzzleloader is, and Friendship, Indiana is a thousand miles away, so I will never go again at my age.

I subscribe to the three best woodworking mags and several history periodicals, and will probably add another tool collector magazine with the NeedMoreLooneyRulesAss'n money.
