In this month's MuzzleBlasts

I havent gotten my issue yet. Got an email from NMLRA stating they are way behind due to 'supply chain issues".

Publishing deadlines often require more than a months advance lead time for articles or adds.

Indeed, up to four or more months for large pubs. Thus creating the irony.

Yeah I got the digital copy emailed a month ago, but barely it as it is rather inconvenient on a phone.

Well, I'm giving away my age here but I have to admit that I just don't care for "digital subscriptions." I still really enjoy reading a "hard copy" of a magazine and especially books! Reading something off a screen just isn't the same - sorry, but to me it just isn't! I understand it cost more than doing it digital but then so does my yearly membership at NMLRA and most all the other memberships I pay for every year. It broke my heart when Track of the Wolf stopped doing their great catalogs! Anyway, I'll just wait for my issue of Muzzle Blast and enjoy it whenever it shows up like the teenage kid my wife says I still am!

I agree, I like To know I can read something without having to charge its battery first!

I have kept all my Muzzle Blasts since joining, I enjoy going back and reading them. I enjoy reading, looking at a screen is not reading.

And if there’s another toilet paper shortage it’d be hard using your cell phone , but those pages can be crumpled up to soften them and should work well!

 

[William Lincoln]

Got mine today. I also keep most. Some I give out to some young
fellas who are interested in the pursuit. To keep the sport alive we
need the young folks--so I give out some. Nov. Issue has nice Buck
on cover. Historical articles are great and interesting--high quality.
I am surprised anyone is working there with the covid scare going on.

From the NMLRA:


As many of you have noticed in recent months Muzzle Blasts magazine has been arriving late, while we are trying are best to work around this issue our printer like many other businesses is facing serious supply line issues. These shortages of paper are going to be worse for the next couple of issues and then should improve. Please try and be patient while our staff and printer do their best to work through this issue and hopefully early next year things will get back on track. Thank you in advance for your understanding on this matter.

Got my copy of MB yesterday….

 

[dave951]

Those ads were bought waaay in advance and as such were in place before the Goex circus.

[OB One]

OK. So how do I subscribe to get my printed version of MB? Been away from BP for the last 5 or 6 years. Just getting back into it.

"Me dinosaur, you dinosaur", or something like that. I'm several years older than my wife and often mention things that she doesn't recall because it's before her time. I was dragged kicking & screaming into the digital age and "forced" to carry a blasted cell phone. I like to hold PAPER in my hands when I read. Although I'd probably punch someone for calling me this I guess I'm in my geezerhood. Been a Luddite for decades and love it, keeps my brain from aching.

Then I guess we're facing a lot longer here in Australia.
