I haven't read G&A in years. I can't imagine what that garbage will do to subscriptions.

Being an idiot on the 2nd Ammendment didn't do Zumbo's career any good. Will these guys never learn???

Haven't since the 80's.

Through his entire career, Dick Metcalf never written anything that impressed me. At least he is consistent.

I haven't had a subscription in years either

The quality of the writing went to pot 20+ years ago and any time I've read a Metcalf article I've been irritated by his lack of knowledge/sense.

Exactly right...

Most of us have forgotten more technical gun stuff than he will ever know.

As far as subscribing to, or evening buying a copy of G&A???

Not since Elmer died.

not a huge fan of DM's writing, but, it would be good to read the source before jumping on the bandwagon...

Nah...this is nothing new. Seems he started this...

Back during the Klinton admin IIRC. He received a lot of flack for some "reasonable gun control" statements and rightly so.

I'm thinking he has said there is no reason for him to carry

I read it before posting the link here. We really don't need to give the antis help.

After reading it myself, I agree with you.

Haven't since Elmer died. Looked at it once on the newsstand and it just was not the same. Never did warm up to Metcalf's writings.

I've met him several times when I lived in IL. He didn't impress me much then as a 20 year old kid. 17 years later I've still got a whole lot of 'meh' for him...

I always figured ST's with Sheriff Jim Wilson was...

A MUCH better choice:) now I read Jim on FB and the only subscription I get is Handloader which I need to renew...though I don't really gain much from even it these days. Seems all anybody does is just recycle old topics over and over.

The same company owns ST and G&A.

Oh, c'mon, just because all that prize money from Jeep disappeared from the uspsa championship shoot on his family farm? How can you blame him???

I think it was the S&W Masters, wasn't it?

by anachronism, Monday, November 04, 2013, 11:50 (4042 days ago) @ Slow Hand

He made all sorts of claims about prizes and prize money, then somehow couldn't deliver? I remember some really serious cries for his head from the competition community.

HE made plenty of money on it...

by Boge Quinn, Monday, November 04, 2013, 13:34 (4042 days ago) @ anachronism

...the matches were held at a range run by a corporation he set up with himself as the head, on land that this corporation leased from him. Sponsors and competitors got ripped off, but he got paid plenty. If memory serves, that is...I do remember it well because the young naive Boge was quite disillusioned by it all.

I quit reading ST at that point because

they were aware of the situation, and refused to do anything about it. They even had an editorial on the issue IIRC.

I'm not sure, it was before my time over in IL. I do know that PASA Park down in Barry, IL was a really nice range. It partially accounted for me taking five years to finish a four year technical school!
