The Shooting Gazette.
#23687 - 08/01/05 04:38 AM

I read a few issues of an English magazine named: "The Shooting Gazette" some weeks ago at a family members house. Seemed like a good magazine, with lots of highend guns to drool over...

Any of you subscribe to it? What's the general impression? Worth it or not?

We can pick it up over-the-counter at newsagencies here in Oz, I grab a copy if the articles are of special interest, but its a bit expensive due to our lousy currency exchange rate against the 'poownd'. Its certainly a high-quality publication, slight tendency to be a little snobbish for colonial tastes, and sometimes devotes too many pages to gundogs at the expense of fine guns.

Still, I could certainly change a lightbulb standing on my stack of Gazettes collected over the years!

Well my friend, you certainly do have a "way with words", I'm still laughing 10 min. later. Thankyou for the good laugh, SP2 ( I have gotten a VERY GOOD "visual" of your statement)

I flick through it, to see if there are any articles of interest.

I agree with the Aussies, it is rather expensive and caters for the carriage trade end of the market - £1000/ a day / gun driven grouse shooters.

You can get a feeling for the target readership from the advertisements. Still, it is nicely put together on heavy, good quality paper.
