Lori Dani Dixie (SASS #1695) has a different approach on how to recruit new members to our sport and especially among the younger generation. As a daughter of Rebel (ex-Wild Bunch member) and Lady Rebel, she learned first hand how activities like the Kid’s Corral can have a major impact. In this 30 minute interview, she talks about her initiative to find new ways to reach out to a wider audience when it comes to promotion and recruitment.

What Has 20 Eyes And Makes A Lot Of Noise?
Posted by Deadman from Ocoee Rangers, TN:
What has 20 eyes and makes a lot of noise? Nope, it’s not a cicada, or jar fly as it’s called in East TN. Here’s a hint: we had 10 cowgirl shooters at the August Shoot. OK, Too Tall: that’s 10 cowgirls X 2 eyes each. Get it? The picture below shows the cowgirls of Posse No. 3, Tombstone’s posse. Of course they don’t really like him all that well. Deadman threatened to shoot’em if they didn’t stand close for the picture, but that didn’t faze’em, no better than he shoots. Last Kiss had to make the same threat before it worked. In total, we had 72 shooters out on the range shooting steel varmints. Read the rest of the article here.

The Battle For Survival….Another Gun Magazine Discontinued
Our good friend Chucky, editor of Shoot! Magazine, informed us last week that the battle to keep the magazine running is over. It started with Trails End magazine, which was later purchased by Shoot!
I have received many emails and phone calls about this and the #1 question is how and why. Well, first of all, I am not an insider. It is none of my business and let me add, running a magazine or any media outlet is in fact a business. It’s not charity, at least it’s not supposed to be.
I have and will talk about this in general. I might as well talk about something that our industry on both sides of the fence don’t talk much about, at least in public.
Publishing a magazine in a time where media is changing faster than you are able to keep up with is a tough business. Publishing a magazine in a small niche market is a combination of tough business and labor of love. You have to be part idiot, part naive and part business person to survive. In my opinion, I believe Shoot! Magazine did everything they could do in all of those combinations. It all came down to this - the market simply was not big enough and the resources was no longer there to build or rebuild it. Continued
