Hey lads any feedback on this months e-zine?

Thx Anthony

Liked the youtube link on the review of the two electric air rifles. To be honest I find the text a bit hard to read. Having it in two columns is annoying in pdf as you keep have to scroll up and down all the time. Pictures are grainy too. Just the general design and layout isn't great. It could look more like a real magazine. Content is good though. The 'so you want to buy a gun...' article was good but again the could have been complemented with pictures and diagrams.

A friend of mine reckons the publication should be renamed "icopy&paste"

Maybe it was me but, was the the section from Norman on deer stalking missing a page? in my reading there was a problem in the story from page 24 to 25. I was really ejoying the story (as I do all Normans inputs) on the sika 8pointer till the guy answered the call of nature and then the rest of the story was missing.

Hi Ronnie,

You are the second person to say that to me about the up and down on the pdf version so it will be changed in the March issue. Ya some of the pic's are grainy on the PDF version as i have to print it as a low quality PDF otherwise the file size would be to big to download as easy i am looking at other software so that it doesn't have to be pdf. Have you read the live version? If so what do you think?

I take criticism quite well. And I'd say i know who your 'friend' is. While some articles are taken from other places we also have articles from Anthony Baggot, Norman, Brian and many others. I find things on the web that interest me and i think might interest others involved in the sport. If you want to criticise it then do it constructively as others here have done and it will be listened too.

Hi Mauser,

Yap well spotted. I'll have it fixed on the PDF version within the next hour. Thanks for the heads up.

Had a look there. The live versions alot better. Much sharper looking. It's a bit harder to use at first but after a minute or two I could use it fine. Got stuck on the instructions page when I tried it yesterday and went for the pdf. I'll be using that from now on.

Very good, I would'nt mind a gamekeeping series in it, about rearing and releasing pheasants, partridge or ducks. Any you see are set in some estate in England and I don't think they transfer well to the smaller setups we have over here. The land is different and its usually done on a smaller budget as a rough shoot rather than a driven shoot. Im always up for learning new things and new ways of doing things to try and improve my shoot.
