"CompAir" - new FT & HFT online magazine for competition shooters

[fastnick]

I'm putting CompAir together in conjunction with Rob Farnworth (the guy behind Shooting-the-Breeze), and so we thought it best that Rob take care of the announcement on STB - but many thanks for the thought!

In between numerous trips for counselling as a result of the PTSD I suffered following Mr Blackscale's Page 3 photo shoot the other day (to quote Marlon Brando in Apocalypse Now - "Oh the horror! The absolute horror!"), I've been really chuffed with the response and interest that has been shown in the idea of a magazine dedicated to HFT and FT shooting, and a few of you have already come forward and offered to be regional reporters for their areas.

However, we still need to hear from folk in Scotland, the North of England (come on you lot from Rivi!), Wales and East Anglia (I never imagined that members of M.A.D. and Cambridge clubs were such shy, retiring types! )

We want to CompAir to cover HFT and FT shooting all over the UK, and to do this we need people on the ground in each part of the country who can feed in results and photos of their local shoots. If you would like to put together a report in the form of an article and send that through, then so much the better - but if you don't fancy that, just email over the results and some pictures and we'll do the rest

The first edition will be coming out in early March, and we look forward to your feedback and comments (good and bad!); it's a magazine about our sport and we want to hear from everyone so that we can deliver something that you enjoy and want to read.

Cracking idea. I shoot HFT & I mostly got to at furnace mill in Shropshire/Worcestershire border in the West Midlands.
I will spread the word as this sounds like something that we have needed for some time now

What have i done now....

The page three bit perked my ears up for a minute though....I can quite categorically say i have not done any hairy biker photo shoots in the past 3 years, so not me i'm afraid!

Sounds like a great idea putting the target sports together like that, should be interesting!

Well done, Nick. Sounds like a great idea.

Very aware of your commitment to the sport, this should be a flyer )

Various buttons have now been pressed and levers pulled, and we are now able to confirm that the debut edition of Compare will roll off of the digital presses on Friday 18 March.

We are in the process of not only putting the magazine together, but also the website where you will be able to download it from - watch this space for more info on that over the next few weeks.

Whether you shoot FT or HFT, Rob and I are still very keen to hear from anyone who would like to send in results, photos, and/or reports for shoots in their area - we are both based down here on the South Coast and whilst we do put in a reasonable number of miles competing in our chosen discipline, we can only be in one place each weekend.

So, if you don't want your part of the world to go unsung, do the right thing and become a CompAir reporter!

Just drop me a PM and we can have a chat......
