Summary: One of my favorites
Comment: Of the twelve or so gun magazines I either subscribe to or buy regularly (I subscribe to Shooting Times), Shooting Times ranks very high in my list. The single factor that sways my decision most of a gun magazine is if they print accuracy testing on the rifles they test. Without the accuracy testing, articles on new rifles are little more than a rehashing of the literature you would find on a manufacturers web site or in a product brochure. The accuracy testing gives one an idea if a rifle is worth owning and ponying up hard earned money for. Currently, some magazines have a big crush on AR's which is wearing thin; Shooting Times does not seem to. Lastly, all the pages in Shooting Times are color and glossy, which is very appreciated.

Summary: Very Useful
Comment: 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.

Summary: Good balance of articles
Comment: I like Shooting Times because of the balance of articles. Whether you're a hunter, target shooter, or tactical type of gun owner, there's always something in each issue that will make it worth reading. The technical articles, particularly Rick Jamison's reloading and Reid Coffield's gunsmithing, are excellent, and Sheriff Jim Wilson provides an interesting perspective to round out each issue. I've subscribed to ST for about eight years now, and have no plans to let it lapse.

Summary: Patience Recommended For Long Lead Time
Comment: Disappointed because of the long lead time before the subscription starts. Like ordering in September and can expect the first issue on December or January. If known before, I would have started subscription directly from the publisher.
