Martial arts, old and new (poster)

It's like an assembly line!

Oleg, you're just churning them out!

Oh, I just ordered 2 shirts from your excellent site. Thanks again for the work you do.

Great poster. Really well done.

Great trigger dicipline...

Then again, I wasn't lookin' at the trigger...

I am developing a calendar for 2005. Wonder if mixed eye candy and RKBA images would be best, or go with straight RKBA...

Oleg,

How about one of each?

...and one with pure eye candy.

Ok, what type of eye candy are we talking about? I see two types in the picture.

The non-gun type.

"Wonder if mixed eye candy and RKBA images would be best, or go with straight RKBA..."

I would tend to try to separate the two. Now mind you, I have NOTHING against good eye candy ( ) but it seems to me that mixing the two, while pleasing to some, would just open the door to another avenue of criticism from anti-gunners.

But then, what's new about that. They'll criticize anyways.

I cast my vote for mixture of eye candy and RKBA. I want one (calendar, that is.)

I would definitly be interested in a calender. Plus, I love the newest poster!

Great poster Oleg!

Good stuff, as always. The first thing that popped into my head when reading was to add "Ancient" to the beginning, and change the end to "Learn something old". Not sure if that even makes sense though.

Would probably only make sense to people like us, Nightfall...

Oleg: Great poster! I never got how quite a few people define martial arts as just hitting things.

I love how you legitamitize shooting as an art. While it seems completely legit to us, the antis would think differently.

Including eyeCandy will get your calendar into places that a straight Right to Arm & Keep Bears message would not.

As was discussed in an earlier thread, if you go for the Happy, Pretty theme, and it just happens to include responsile fun with firearms, you can start sneaking the "Guns == Maybe not as bad as I thought" message into people's heads. You will not be able to go over the top with gratuitous gun porn to do this... the Happy Fun idea needs to be stronger than the Girls With Guns idea.

How to pul that off... no idea... I'll let it percolate through the back of my head for a while.

Much better typography! Well done!

Oleg Volk asked, "BTW, I am developing a calendar for 2005. Wonder if mixed eye candy and RKBA images would be best, or go with straight RKBA..."

How about "eye candy" with 12 steps of good shooting?

Whose wife wouldn't let him buy one.

The non-gun type of eye candy is already available. Just get the latest Dillon calendar.

I vote for "pure" RKBA". Lots of people do eye candy. Nobody does 2A like Oleg.

I'm with Dave - a pure RKBA calendar can be posted in the office, while the eye-candy type will get you some serious looks from the H/R folks....

Hmmm.... Maybe just really, really attractive RKBA?

Oleg, if you have the time and material do 2 one with eye candy, one without.

Again -- an excellent new poster Oleg!

Calendar idea:

I vote for RKBA. Most of Oleg's pics give the added bonus of gun/interesting people/nice looking people/nice photography eye-candy.

Three suggestions to take or leave for a calendar:

1. One month devoted to the "four rules" would be great. I picture it cut out of the calendar and posted at shooting ranges and hunting shacks everywhere.

2. I personally would love to see a nice picture of John Moses Browning highlighting his contribution to gun design and RKBA -- maybe the photo of JMB holding his 100+ year-old autoloading shotgun design saying "JMB's designs for autoloading guns designed for everyday people are more than 100 years old, why does the government have designs on taking them away now?"

3. RKBA and gun-related dates in history (i.e. birthdays of Samuel Colt, JMB, John garand, etc. would be very cool)

Eye candy/RKBA.

Make one for the ladies as well.
