Member Janice Beasley, aka Liberty Walsh in the Cowboy world, sent a great photo of her working the targets at a Cowboy Action shoot. With it, she sent a letter asking if we could run a female on the front cover that isn’t holding a semi-auto rifle. And who isn’t 30-years-old.
Admittedly I chuckled upon receipt of her letter displaying outstanding penmanship. First, a couple of things: We look for “vertically” oriented photos on our cover. Also, the AR-15 is America’s favorite rifle for a reason, in that almost everyone wants one. As for the ladies, the last time I put a guy on the cover I caught a lot of razzing about it. In fact, I still hear about that from time to time today.
So while I’m not opposed to more mature ladies with great non-semi-auto hardware, we’ll need a charming, high-resolution photo (digital, por favor) of the vertical sort. In the meantime, here’s Liberty’s photo of her doing her thing. Very nice.
Cough cough, are there normally females on the cover? I haven’t noticed. I do see a lot of fine looking hardware though.
