kyska Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Am I just being cynical, or is it a bit like 'Viz' magazine. I don't normally take the ST, but grabbing one to read in the bath and saw a question...paraphrased of course My wife fell over shooting and broke her wrist, got scanned and told she has osteoporosis, what exactly is this? Now I imagine, after seeing several doctors, they would both been very well informed what the condition is...from the triage nurse...the A and E doctor...to the radiographer...the radiologist which surveyed the image....the ultrasonagrapher....the treatment doctors....and follow on care from your GP, occupational health nurses....physiotherapists etc etc Why on earth would you write into a magazine, in the hope you'd get an answer, to ask this question? Next thing will be... My child is choking on an ice cube....should I pour boiling water down his/her throat (sent by e-mail) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salopian Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Unfortunately Shooting Times closed down a few weeks ago as a mark of respect for John Humphreys. Alistair Balmain the Editor called a rapidly convened meeting and it was found that due to staff cuts and budget cutbacks, they had no one else left who could write interesting articles.

Bleeh Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Bleeh's predictions. Shooting times stops printing. 24 page thread on this subject, 90% say it'll be missed. 12 years later. Shoot time starts printing again The younger generation of pigeon watch members start a 45 page thread celebrating this matter, older generation of PW members don't contribute due to death by diabetes.

anser2 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Back in the 1960s and 70 I never missed a copy of the ST , but over the last 25 years the quality of articles with a few exceptions has gone rapidly down hill. Today it seems geared to newcommers and I expect to see an article on how to load shells into your gun ( the plastic bit first ). They seem to have forgoten to cater for the experianced shooter. I used to love the shooting yarns it was full in the old days which alas are quite rare these days. Today I only get selected copies and did get the pigeon special last week , but apart from the pigeon watch article there was little of real interest.
