Publisher: Gun News Stories

Western Shooting Journal is published by Media Index Publishing Group of Seattle. We are a regionally oriented yet national-in-scope magazine for Western firearms and gun-lifestyle enthusiasts. Published monthly, our first issue came out in spring 2012. Our X factor? All other firearms titles on newsstands today are basic “gun review” pieces. Similar to Car & Driver, their coverage is nearly all product oriented. On the other hand, Western Shooting Journal’s the voice of the Western shooting enthusiast. We’ll cover not only the new must-have products straight from the annual SHOT and NRA Shows, but we’ll also use our unique brand of human-interest storytelling to cover the personal side of the Western gun world, including articles on: · Western gun culture · The “Open Carry” movement · Concealed-carry laws, issues and lifestyle · Profiles on Western gun enthusiasts, gun-friendly politicians, and celebrities · Gunsmiths, gun artists and their craft · Stories on cowboy action shooting · Stories on uniquely Western shooting sports ­– varmint hunting, long-range shooting, blackpowder, and more · Stories on Western shooting events · Western hunting, knives, law enforcement · Nostalgic pieces · Stories on guns and women – the fastest growing segment of the shooting community · Gun shows, the heart of the publication – we will cover the giant annual SHOT Show (the industry’s trade show, and 12th largest trade show in the country), the National Rifle Association convention, and all Western regional gun shows.
