I've been subscribing to the NRA's Shooting Sports USA since it went digital and FREE a few years ago. It's always been in the past a bit "inside baseball" as far as the content goes, just mostly covering the events or equipment. But for the past few months they have been publishing more instructive pieces and more historical background stories, like the one's you listed. The magazine has become a much more interesting read and it's FREE.

Is there a faster way to read that? Maybe a PDF download? It's painful slow to read on my computer.

Go to the link and then the upper right corner.  The 5th button in from the upper right corner will allow you to download the entire magazine, to be read at your leisure.

Sadly, that is a terrible reading experience. The magazine doesn't fit on my monitor and the sound of a faux page turning doesn't improve the content at all.

I'll get UL to give me the basic outline of the story next time I see him.

There's a PDF in there somewhere at the bottom of that pile.  Just keep clicking.  I downloaded it to read it.

Sorry Jake.  I have attached the sling article in PDF.  If that works for you I can do the First M1A Shoot article or even the whole issue.

Why are you apologizing?  ;D  You didn't do anything wrong.

Thanks, that will read just fine on my computer at home.
