shotup 9 Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 when it first came out it was called shooting news and was worth buying full of decent topics and writers now its run by split arses for split arses and you would be better of saving your money or buying a lotto ticket.

Guest oldskool Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 got it again this week and its got a good article in it about deerhounds by d hancock... when i said pre ban i didnt mean 2 hundred odd years ago but it was good none the less... i'll get a better read at it tomorrow at tea break! is there any other mags that specialise in lurchers and terrier other than the edrd??? a weekly one would be good Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest rexdigger Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 absoloute shite what a waste of 2 quid stopped buying it ages ago nothing of interest in there unless you are a show pony or shooter but thats just my opinion Quote Link to post Share on other sites
farlap 19 Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 absoloute shite what a waste of 2 quid stopped buying it ages ago nothing of interest in there unless you are a show pony or shooter but thats just my opinion show pony??? ive never seen anything in it that relates to a show pony if you all feel that its going away from the CW you used to enjoy then its vital you contact the editor Dave Venner and tell him what you want....afterall folk who have been loyal supporters for years are the back bone of such a publication. Certainly over the last 10 years or so the production quality and overall presentation standards have risen considerably since it was produced on what looked like toilet paper for years! Now its full colour and in a different league. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest oldskool Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 i have to agree that i have read some absolutely f****n stupid articles in it... i think the stinker i read was about a year or more ago and it was about terriers hunting rabbits and that the correct terrier would need strength of jaw to withstand the powerful kicks of the rabbit :laugh: ... i threw it in the bin and said i'd never buy it again... then the mrs bought me it recently and i seen a bit of a difference not much but some... i'd like to see it come back from the brink... other weekly mags dont exist, do they???
