Past Week

Yes, I've been busy. Spent most of the week (day and night) working on the layout of the first issue of American Tradition, a new magazine/journal for members of the Contemporary Longrifle Association. I'm part of a committee (all volunteer) that has worked since last year's show in August to get this publication off of the ground.

This is going to be a fine publication featuring full color photos (and lots of them) of contemporary guns and accoutrements. In addition, there are a number of photos of original guns and stuff that have inspired today's builders and craftsmen. This magazine is going to be worth the cost membership in the CLA. It will be 48 pages + covers, on enameled stock, and will be published twice a year. The first issue should be mailed in a couple of weeks.

Membership in the CLA provides other benefits, like entrance into the annual show in Lexington, Kentucky, and the right to sell things on the CLA website. A one-year membership is $50.00. You can get more information or join by going to www.longrifle.com or call 540-886-6189. The mailing address is PO Box 2097, Staunton VA 24402.

When I have a little more time, I will post a couple of images from the upcoming issue.
