SHOOTING TIMES magazine has been around for almost five decades now. It's a like a Ford or Chevrolet. It's a standard source of information for people who are interested in shooting, re-loading and what's new.

I like it because I'm more interested in shooting than I am in hunting, hiking or other outdoor sports. SHOOTING TIMES is helpful to hunters, black-powder shooters, defensive shooters re-loaders and target shooters, but it retains more general focus which I find helpful.

I like to shoot and I enjoy keeping track of what's new. The current issue of SHOOTING TIMES has a great article by J. Guthrie about Marlin's new XL7 bolt-action rifle. There's also an interesting piece by Dick Metcalf about Ruger's new semi-automatic pistol, the SR9. I can always count on current information by well-informed writers in SHOOTING TIMES.

Although not specifically oriented to collectors, SHOOTING TIMES often includes an article about a classic firearm. This month it was the famous lever-action Savage Model 99. Paul Scarlata wrung a couple of them out on the range. They date back to the early 1900s, a time when most sporting rifles were lever-actions, not bolt-actions. And, they are still capable shooters if the rifleman does his part.

If you are interested in shooting, you'll enjoy SHOOTING TIMES. I like it and gave it five stars.

I look forward to receiving each issue. The photographs are great and they always seem to be writing about something that interests me. Just remember that most of the reviews are fairly superficial.

I went through Amazon to subscribe to this magazine because it did not appear you could subscribe to it at the Shooting Times website without also agreeing to automatic renewal. It is a great magazine.

Regardless of where you stand in " The Great American Firearm Debate ", if you've ever wondered what all the fuss was about, pick up a copy of Shooting Timres and give it a quick read. There's something of interest in every issue no matter what your experience or lack thereof. From plinking at tin cans with a .22 to defending your life and loved ones, Shooting Times is an excellent resource and one that I highly recommend.
