Shotgun News is an American shooting and firearms interest publication owned by InterMedia Outdoors. By page count, the magazine consists predominantly of advertisements, similar to fashion magazines such as Vogue. Generally speaking, Shotgun News' format contains a featured review, a historical or handgun-related article, an article on amateur gunsmithing, and columns by Clayton Cramer, Chris Knox, Jeff Knox, and Vin Suprynowicz. Classified ads are also accepted, and unsold space is filled with historical quotations by the Founders.
"Fred," founder of Project Appleseed, whose real name is Jack Dailey, has been writing a column—actually a portion of ad space for Fred's M14 Stocks—since 1999.[2]
There are 36 issues of Shotgun News published annually. Nominally the issues are printed in black-and-white on newsprint-quality paper. Every year, issues 3, 9, 12, 21, 27, and 33 also contain a full-color cover, a section of glossy color pages, and additional feature articles.
