    Default Frustrations With Hunting Magazines

    Today I read through the latest issue of "WildLand" magazine to be frustrated once more. As I am Greek, (obviously as my handle states) I am not of Afrikaans speaking and it is my third language. I understand the language and speak it but not fluent. I work in retail and a lot of customers are Afrikaans speaking and I get into great convos with them but just the basics. Hell basically all my friends aswell as my girlfriend and her family are Afrikaans! Yet I struggle very much to understand a lot of the articles written in the hunting mags and get frustrated when I really find an article I want to engage in and I can't understand it. I really try to understand and interpret the info but 9/10 times I'm forced to turn the page because I don't understand. I've emailed S.A. hunters twice asking for an E website that articles can be translated or any other possible solution with no avail.

    I hope I'm not barking up the wrong tree or getting on some people's nerves but I'm trying to find a solution because I am way to passionate for hunting and general gun stuff to not read up at every opportunity I get. Am I the only one that feels this way? What do you guys think?

    Edit:

    Majority of the articles that involve reloading and ballistics are in Afrikaans. Maybe that's why I get more frustrated than usual lately.

    Gun magazines are dead. The internet killed them.

    Agreed, I'm finding more informative articles and reviews online than in any of the magazine's. And it's free.

    WildLand R32.50
    Wild & Jag R44.00
    S.A. Hunter/Jagter R38.00
    Magnum R39.00

    I mean really, I get that they do a lot of work and it costs money to do the tests and and and but as I am crazy with my hunting and shooting in general I would literally buy all the magazine's every month. Reason why I'm fortunate and don't pay is because in the store I work it it's family owned so I read them and take them home for free but regardless I would pay for informative material.

    It's as a whole, in general to do with any part of hunting, ballistics, reviews and so forth.

    Take that magazine you mentioned.

    Have you read a review that reflects badly on the product?

    Get your girl friend to translate for you and read you the article.

    If she does a decent job with a smile,then marry her,she's a keeper.
