    Rant warning: Cabela's, Sportsmens Warehouse, etc

    Bearmgc wrote, "Cabelas did get involved in promoting Kerry for president". That's not true. Kerry did ask to hold a question and answer session at one of Cabela's stores and was granted permission to do so. I've talked to the folks at Cabela's about this and their thinking was it would be...

    Rant warning: Cabela's, Sportsmens Warehouse, etc

    Monkeyleg; Your posts reminds me of the tactics the liberals use, half truths and blanket condemnations abound. How many of these "creased pants" executives you villify do you actually know. I've hunted with some of them and they are like you and me, they like guns and support the 2A...

    Rant: When did gun rags become 10 bucks?

    George; Was this some sort of Internet experiment? I have often noted how someone can make a post blasting most anything and a flood of yes men will rally to the cause without any pause to consider if the original poster has the facts straight. Fact is, most gun magazines sell from...

    So I want to be a gun writer...

    Bear in mind though, good writing for magazines is not the same as good writing as it pertains to novels. Magazine articles are getting shorter all the time and you must write lean without shortchanging the reader on information. When editing your own manuscript, be objective and don't get...

    Carbon 15

    Jason (Carbon_15) certainly did the lion's share of the work. Testing a dozen loads is no small task. Thanks for your kind words to the Editor, Mec. Most folks only write him when they want to complain. :p Dan Johnson

    Identifying signs of excessive pressure

    Pistolsmith, Big R, and Redneck2 have offered some good advice and info here. Unfortunately, much of the rest falls under the heading of "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing". Dan Johnson

    Good to see you posting, Jason. Since we last spoke, I have moved from New Mexico to your neck of the woods. I'm in upstate S.C. now. Maybe we can work together on another project some day, that is if you'd ever want to after the screwup on your charts. :D Dan Johnson

    Lone Star; Try bookmarking the main page of the forum then go back to it using the bookmark. Should clear it up. New software is in the works. Dan Johnson

    Why don't gun rags use standard statistics?

    No, Dean, I have no specific issue with your post here. I was referring to your outlook in general having read many of your posts in the past. This is not to say I don't enjoy reading them. I do, and confess I miss your presense over at that other place. Dan Johnson

    Why don't gun rags use standard statistics?

    Ah, Dean Speir. It has been awhile since I have seen one of your no-holds-barred commentaries on a thread. In spite of your tendency to see the worst in eyeryone, your last paragraph is dead on. Advertisers are not bashful about voicing their complaints and readers should not be either. Editors...

    SHOT Show Attendance?

    Well put, Traveler. As a member of the gun press, I have a legitimate reason to attend the SHOT Show but I realize I am not the main person these exhibitors need to see. The larger companies have reps there to deal with the press but when smaller exhibitors are busy with dealers I just exchange...

    SHOT Show Attendance?

    I believe Higgins took Robert's post a little too much to heart. I might have chosen a different word but "nuisance" is accurate. Doesn't have anything to do with an elitist attitude or downtrodden gun owners. The SHOT Show, probably should be called the SHOT Convention, is put on for people in...
