The ONLY regular "slick-page" monthly magazine I get these days is "The American Rifleman", that's part of my benefit as being an NRA member. I don't think I've ever picked up a glossy page magazine off the rack at our local grocery store chain that didn't have more advertising involved rather than beneficial and informative articles concerning firearms or shooting. Seems when I do pick up one of these monthly's off the rack, the pages begin raining 3 X 4 subscription and advertisement cards from in between the pages all over the stores floor.
It seems that the writers involved with these magazines have NEVER found a firearm that they didn't like.
I did get weak the other day when I spotted the magazine cover that stated "Rimfire Precision Edition", so I dug deep and paid the $9.99 to satisfy my curiosity as to what information was inside.
Seems there's been quite an upsurge in the interest of many folks who started out their journey as young people into the world of shooting when they started out with .22 caliber rifles, and getting back into .22 rimfire shooting. Reasoning being with some, even with the rate of inflation with ammunition prices, .22 rimfire ammunition is still much more reasonable than many of the centerfire rounds that can still be found.
I've been a huge fan of shooting .22 rimfire since I received my very first rifle at 10 years of age, and to this day it's still what I shoot the most of, most often as I can. So, I'm just curious if this resurgence involved with shooting .22 rimfire has become a part of your shooting routine, and especially if you try to bring any youngins into the fold. One of the most enjoyable days I've ever spent during our gun clubs annual "Family Range Day", has been assisting young people in the proper methods involved with shooting .22 rimfire pistols, and the proper use of shooting and hearing protection. It's a very rewarding experience, and I for one, would like to see a ".22 Rimfire Forum" started here:
