Flexmoney Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Rob B. and others can speak to this better than me, but here is the link to the back issues of Front Sight that recently got scanned into digital format. http://www.uspsa.org/front-sight-archive.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skydiver Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 A lot of Kudos should go to Rob. He was quite instrumental in making the project happen from initial conception, to finding a contractor to do the scanning, to finding issues to be scanned, and to getting the data from the contractor unto the USPSA web server.

Guest Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Agreed, this is a awesome thing. I was looking though some of the old issues a week ago and it really brought back some great memories...the articles, the match write ups, the ads, the names, the pics of the early days...it is good history and its all very cool. Thanks to Rob B. for getting this together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wgnoyes Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Damn, the things we used to shoot. Wilson Accucomps. Behlerts. Clark Pin Masters. Boland. Plaxco. The infamous Bren-10 vaporware gun. And a tentative-appearing ad for an upstart company called Caspian, selling a fitted slide/frame kit, in a world where Colt was supreme ruler. And 38super supported chamber bbls was the hot new thing. And it was all coming out of Ernie Hill Speed Leather. Or Davis Leather. I mean, REAL LEATHER!. Shooting at Milparks, or even Florida 8's!

michael b. Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I wonder if Dillon would honor the pricing on the 550 of $224.95 as seen in the ad in the primer issue. Factory direct! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juan Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 in the 1985 addition, they have the national stages posted with the top 5 finishers time and points,wish they still did that. Robbie is USPSA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKT1106 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I like the old advertisements for the next-best-stuff. In 1985, I was 3 yrs old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlmiller1 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 There is irony I suppose in the fact that the Jan/Feb issue for 2009 just happens to be missing pages 60-61 which is the only article I've ever submitted to the magazine. I guess I was hoping for fame from a 3 yr old article, once in a lifetime thing. hahaha. Oh well, maybe I still have a hard copy around here somewhere.
