The digital archive of Precision Shooting is officially a work in progress!

If anybody has any issues they would be willing to loan out for scanning, search me out on the forums (StuRedman).

And a big thanks to those who have already contributed, this would be impossible without your help! Hopefully the project is finished within a couple years.

I am the gun maker pictured on the cover of your 1987 May issue by Lee Teter. I just saw the magazine cover and thought you would like to know. I am pleased to see my picture on your cover. I was building a Leigh Valley rifle when Lee painted me working in my shop. Go to my web site and you will see a bit of my work plus a rifle honoring the Marine Corps I just finished.

The Precision Shooting magazine accepted and cashed my subscription renewal check then promptly ceased publication. No refund was forthcoming. I have come to expect honorable behavior from folks I’ve met in the shooting community. The failure to return my money was a big disappointment and demonstrated a lack of honor and decency on the part of the publisher.

Is Dave Brennan still around? Can someone from 6mmbr ask the IBS what is possible?

Maybe someone will do as the publishers of “Handloader” and “Rifle” magazines did; re-issue the ENTIRE series on disk.

I already had issues 1 to 156 of “Handloader”, when I encountered the publishers at a SHOT Show.

I immediately ordered “The Works” on disc and they duly turned up a couple of months later (I’m in Oz).

Early editions on the disk set are obviously scanned from the original “tree-ware” and then compiled electronically; later issues were “typeset’ using electronic means and thus look a little “fresher on screen

HOWEVER, it is the information contained in all those back-issues that is so valuable.

I didn’t know SOF had stopped printing. I have a few of those tucked away, including the very first one, sadly, some comedian had torn out the infamous “head-shot” photo from an otherwise VERY tidy sample.

I am really glad this has been rebooted. I have have been saying much the same over the past few weeks – we are the poorer for not have Precision Shooting. Internet Forums are drivel and most blogs much the same. A decent journal that caters for deeper thought and discussion is really needed now.

We could group scan? Do one magazine each and send to a central repository?

Do what Soldier of Fortune did. Go electronic. They no longer print a mag any longer. The cost got to them too.

I would have gladly PAID DOUBLE FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION. Maybe if you went electronic like SOLDIER OF FORTUNE did. This, I would think, would be a way to control overhead I was sorry to see it come to an end. It provided invaluable info.

I am looking for a very specific copy of the Accurate rifle magazine that covered the L42a1 titled queen’s last soldier, anyone has that copy?
