Kit Planes
As a former flight-instructor & pilot, I love this magazine, as it brings back the "easy" days of flying!

It covers a broad range of flying issues -from flying to building to selecting models- and leaves one with enough information to either go with, or know where to get it from.

For anyone who does not yet fly but is bitten by the bug, or the person wanting to return to the non-pressured world of flight, this is the perfect introduction. ... Read more

Good Cruise Information
"Porthole" is a magazine about cruising, and is generally informative and interesting. The format has recently been enlarged by the publisher, which is a big improvement.

The magazine is a glossy, color spectacle that deals mostly with reviews of ships and itineraries, with some superficial human interest articles thrown in for good measure. In general "Porthole" is more about visceral impressions of ships and cruises rather than about hard, factual information, which is largely to its detriment. For that reason, I prefer "Cruise Travel" magazine, which has a more thorough analysis of current topics, particularly in their itinerary reviews and "Ship of the Month" sections.

Interestingly, I recently got both "Porthole" and "Cruise Travel" on the same day and both of them had as the cover story Holland America's new "Oosterdam". While "Porthole" showed some nice photos largely of common areas and talked about how spacious it was, "Cruise Travel" detailed the new ship's layout, size of different class cabins, itinerary review, facilities and features, fares, etc. To me the information in "Cruise Travel" was unquestionably superior, although the "Porthole" photographs were nicer.

I enjoy reading "Porthole", and particularly enjoy the coverage of more obscure expeditions, such as the recent (June 2004) article on European river cruises. The coverage of the 'Queen Mary 2' was also excellent, particularly the excellent photographs. Overall, I think Porthole is a good magazine, but not the best in the category. For that try "Cruise Travel".

Great shotgunning magazine
I've seen several issues and must say it's a great magazine for those who would rather go shoot clay targets or hunt with their favorite shotgun than anything else. Every issue I've seen has hit a few bulleyes with articles on reloading or some thought pieces on how to improve my shooting...two shots up... I mean two thumbs for shotgun sports magazine ...

Fur in this day and age?
Wearing fur in this day and age is sad and selfish.
Little more is needed to be said than that.

The ultimate trapping, fishing, hunting, shooting magazine
Most people think that this magazine limits itself to the wild fur trapping industry but they are wrong. Although a good portion of the stories and departments focus on trapping, the excellent fishing, hunting and shooting articles should NOT be overlooked. I find this magazine to be much more appropriate for the average American and Canadian outdoors person. Several do-it-yourself features and inexpensive alternatives give this magazine a realistic touch. Most other magazines seem to cater to whoever advertises on their pages but FFG seems to care about the readers success. If I had to choose only one outdoor sporting magazine this would be it! ...

Never filled out their promise
I orderd Ride BMX a year ago...they sent me my first issue and when I got that I was somewhat disappointed because they never sent me my beanie (hat) I every magazine they sent me...no beanie. Yesterday I got a letter rfom them...hoping it was about my beanie...but it wasn't...it was about subscribing...now I dont think im going to subscribe back unless they send me my stuff...

Ride BMX Review
I personally think this is the best BMX magazine out there. It's a great price, and it's filled with great articles and pictures. It is good for anyone that likes biking, or just wants something to read.

I highly suggest this magazine to anyone.

Really Good
I am an avid rider and have had a subscription to Ride BMX for over a year now and I haven't been disappointed yet. It covers all types of riding and tells all about whats going on. i'd reccomend getting it. ... Read more

Fun stories and skier info
Skiing magazine mixes interesting and fun stories of skiing adventures with a lot of good information on gear, resorts, etc. The mag gives info on different ski areas in N. America & around the world - great for those that like to plan ski adventures away from home like me. It provides the latest in ski gear and new technology available for skiers of all abilities - great for those looking to upgrade their outdated gear. Every issue also has one article or another following some ski nut or a team of ski nuts around the world on their latest adventure, from Alaska glaciers to Rocky Mtn. backcountry. Keeps me excited about skiing..even during the off season.

Good overall
Good magazine if you're looking for articles on equipment on or coming on the market that has been well tested and rated price, ability level etc. Good pieces on preventing injuries and getting and staying fit, since skiing means you better have strong legs and upper body control.

Equipment resource
Provides good tips on how to improve your technique whether you're a beginner, or more advanced skier. Also has good information regarding new products and which equipment is best suited for you. ... Read more

One Of The Best Mags I've Read
One of the few magazines I will read cover to cover. Even those articles about civilian aircraft (I am a military aircraft enthusiast/author) I read with great interest. Many articles are about events/machines/people that I've never heard of but are fascinating to learn about. My only criticism is that it is not a monthly publication. It would be a great day indeed if the publishers decided to make it so. Either way, it is worth the money for a subscription.

Strong balance of civil & military aviation, but infrequent
I ordered this magainze, and although it covers one of my favorite subjects I did find that I was not as pleased as I had hoped. This magazine does not come monthly, and so you find yourself wondering if your issue is lost or if your subscription is messed up. Also, it has an awful lot of material that is used to cover civil aviation, but since I am not as interested in civil as I am military aviation, I was not able to appreciate as much of the magazine as I had hoped. overall, it is fairly balanced, and given that the civil world is much less writen about, that is to the magazine's credit, but I wish I had ordered something else instead.

great stuff!
I take several different magazines, of different types.This is the one that I invariably read cover to cover, every single issue. OK, so you have to be _interested_ in the specialized subject matter, first. But if you do have any interest at all in Aviation History, this magazine presents a seldom-failing insight into lost, little-known, and obscure aspects of the entire century of aviation. The writing is literate and interesting, and they come up with some marvellous, mostly unpublished, pictures. I would recommend at least a trial subscription - my bet is that you'll like it. ...

A Magaizine Worth its Ballast.
I get three "boating" magazines: Sailing, Sail and Soundings (a general boating magazine - highly recommended). Each one has a special place on my coffee table.

The strength of this magazine is, first and foremost, the sections titled: 'Perry on Design' and the 'Used Boat Notebook' (and its accompanying side bar - 'Value Guide'). 'Perry on Design' covers briefly the designs of the new offering hitting the market. 'Used Boat Notebook' is the "Car & Driver" review for used boats: much more thorough than 'Perry'. This outstanding section covers: Impressions, Construction, What to Look for, On Deck, Down Below, Engine, Under Way and a succinct conclusion that raps it up This section alone is the main reason I get this magazine. Other reasons are the magazine's beautiful color photos and a section called 'Boat Doctor', information on technique and safety.

If you are a sailor, serious or a wannabe, you can't go wrong with "Sailing". Strongly recommended.

Sailing World
I subscribed to Sailing World for two years. After 6 months I noticed that I only had 6 months left. After 5 calls where I was told I did have another year coming, now the tell me that a new owner has purchased the magazine and they owe me nothing.

Sailing World
I subscribed for 2 years and after 6 months I noticed that they only showed me having 6 months left. I have now spoken to them 5 times and spent more than an hour on the phone and they just told me they cant help me because they have been sold and the new owner dosn't owe me anything.

Top quality sailing magazine!
Sailing World is a beautiful, well-written magazine! It comes with gorgeous pictures and coverage of international, college and local races and regattas, as well as contains many technique articles complete with pictures and diagrams to reinforce or introduce solid techniques to a beginning or even experienced sailor. When I can't get out to sail, I turn to Sailing World to bring the world of sailing to me! It always has excellent coverage of America's Cup as well as other local regattas in California, where I live. It is timely and the information is always very current and holds the latest news in tech issues, new products on the market and current standings. Excellent coverage and exclusive articles that I haven't seen anywhere else. This publication helps you concentrate on being the best sailor that you can, whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro. I recently took up sailing a few years ago and this has been like my sailing bible!

THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO SAILING!...
If you only have time or space for one sailing magazine, this would be it! From the professional to the enthusiastic beginner, Sailing World is a must for the sailing afficianado. Where else can you find a balanced, well-written magazine that not only covers collegiate sailing, new products, America's Cup, international sailing, new boats, expert techniques, and intelligent editorials. I have found that other sailing publications try to be "too much" and they lose their focus in either large and countless advertisements to pay for their large format, or juxtapose a beginner's article against a highly technical article for experts, leaving the reader confused. This is the only sailing magazine I subscribe to and will continue to. You must have this magazine! ... Read more

Awesome Magazine
I've used this magazine to make informed decisions before buying any product for my ATV. I started out with a Warrior, but traded it in for a Suzuki Z400. I did tons of research using this magazine. They tested everything they could bolt on the Z400 and then published if it worked or not. They answer questions and post good articles. More than worth the few dollars to be informed if 4-wheeling is your thing to do.

Excellent Information Source
This is a great magazine, filled with information that I refer to again and again. Want to know the towing capacity of various trucks, or the towing rules of various states (max beam width, speed etc), or safe trailering rules (loads, tires, hitches etc)? It is all in this publication. The magazine is for those of us with smaller boats and not the mega buck mega crusiers so often reviewed by other publications. I doubt that (...) those who own 60 foot boats even read the publications that print the reviews. Why should they? They can hire naval architects to help them choose. But for me, the owner of a smaller boat, Trailer Boats magazine is an excellent information source filled with practical advice. Buy it. ... Read more

Accuracy and Thoroughness of Hand Guns
Out of all the hand gun reviews, editorials, and infrmatiun about hand guns, I found this magazine the most thorough and accurate in description, and in photo.

Great Magazine For the Firearms Enthusiast
I received this magazine sunscription as a gift much to my delight. Being raised to both enjoy and respect firearms, I have had the opportunity to read many gun publications. On the top of my list is American Handgunner. A beautiful and informative magazine, American Handgunner is a wonderful periodical for anyone who supports our right to keep and bear arms. I give this magazine 5 out of 5 stars, and highly recommend to anyone with a moderate or avid interest in firearms.

Must Read!
This is by far the best handgun magazine out there. I have read many, and none compare. I read it cover to cover the first couple days after it arrives. It covers everything from tactics and firearms to holsters. My only gripe is that it only comes every OTHER month.

One of the best shooting magazine available
