Field & Stream’s July Issue Gets Blown Away by FOLIO:
FOLIO: took Field & Stream up on its challenge to open fire on its July Shoot This Magazine issue, which features a pull-out target inside that reads “I (Heart) Guns.” It’s all part of a promotion for Field & Stream’s new Outdoor Channel television show, based on the magazine’s popular online blog, Gun Nuts, which stars the magazine’s two gun editors — David E. Petzal, rifles editor, and Philip Bourjaily, shotguns editor. The Field & Stream reader who submits the most creative photograph of the completed target wins a rifle by Smith & Wesson, a sponsor of the issue. In addition, the issue gained the attention of the The New York Times and NPR, who both picked up the story.
