Action Target
Provo, Utah --(Ammoland.com)- Thoughts on equipment placement,
conditioned response, reaction time, Hick’s Law, the 21 foot guideline,
and the OODA loop

Disclaimer 1:
I do not consider myself to be an expert on any of the above
topics. I am, however, really good at asking questions. I am
a serious student of human behavior under stress.
Disclaimer 2:
In no way what I write should be misinterpreted as passing
judgment on the Officer(s) involved. In the past, I have been
judged by people who were not beside me when bad things
happened. I refuse to be a “Monday morning quarterback”
to situations I was not involved in.
Disclaimer 3:
The above title gives the reader an insight into how my mind
works. I struggle on a good day to have an independent
thought. I have had the privilege, however, to have trained
with some absolutely brilliant thinkers / operators /
teachers. I will attempt to give them the credit they deserve.
Recently, a transit Officer was convicted of homicide after he shot an
individual to death while attempting to control the subject’s behavior.
According to the Officer’s testimony, he thought he was reaching for his
Taser but discharged his duty firearm instead, killing the subject.
Now, I am not here to pass judgment on the Officer’s actions, as I was
not there. But for some time, I have recommended that Tasers be
mounted on the duty belt on the non-dominant side, with the grip
pointed backward, NOT in a cross-draw position. Why? Well, over the
course of his / her career, a LEO may pull their handgun from its holster
hundreds, maybe thousands of times during in-service training and
qualification. A LE Trainer may pull a handgun from its holster tens of
thousands of times.
Question: How many times does an average LEO pull a Taser from its
holster and discharge it? In most departments that I have trained with,
after initial training (with its “special” videotaped moments), the only
time a Taser gets pulled from its holster is when it is used on a subject. I
know of no in-service or qualification live fire course of fire for the Taser.
What’s the point?
Well, many years ago, someone much wiser than I will ever be said:
“Under stress, you will revert to what you do most often or most
recently.”
I only wish I could remember who told me that so I could give them
credit. The point is, the dominant hand has been conditioned by
hundreds (if not thousands) of repetitions to access and fire the
handgun, not the Taser.
Similarly, I wish I could have a dollar for every time I saw on the range a
cell phone or pager get pulled from the belt and forcibly stuffed into the
magazine well of a weapon. Why? Because the operator was reverting
back to the location and object on his / her duty belt that (s)he accesses
most often in the course of a day – dozens of times.
Many years ago, fellow Action Target Instructor Dennis Tueller
established the 21 foot guideline which has been misinterpreted over the
years as the “21 foot rule”. While not diminishing the validity of what
Dennis established, I can say that for the average LE Instructor (who, in
theory, should be smoother and quicker at presenting the duty handgun
from the duty holster) the average reactionary gap when wearing a Level
II or Level III retention holster is more like 40 – 60 feet. That is with the
outcome pre-determined – draw the handgun and place one or two well-
placed shots on an inert practice target. Under the stress of a life
-threatening attack, reaction time can double, quadruple, or deteriorate
even more. Why? Well, some definitions may be useful:
Reaction Time:
“Reaction time has sometimes been described as a function of Hick’s
law:
(1) H = log2(n + 1).
(2) H = ? pi log2(1/pi + 1).
H = the information-theoretic entropy of a decision.
n = the number of equally probable alternatives.
pi = the probability of alternative i for n alternatives of unequal
probability.
The time it takes to make a decision is roughly proportional to H, the
entropy of the decision (the log of the number of alternatives), i.e. T = k
H, where k ~ 150 msec” 1
Now, I have no idea what that means, but it may be useful in calculating
the probability of getting a raise or the budget you submitted. “Entropy
of the decision” is the scientific way of saying “brain cramp”! What is
important to note is that formula was established by test subjects that
were not being presented with life-threatening stimuli, and under ideal
conditions, reaction time is a logarithmic, (12, 22, 32, etc.) not an
arithmetic (1 + 1, 2 + 1, etc.) variable.
Now, how many use of force options does the average Officer have?
1. Presence;
2. Verbal instructions / commands;
3. Empty hand techniques;
4. Aerosol spray;
5. Baton;
6. Taser;
7. Radio;
8. Lethal force, which can include:
1. Handgun;
2. Folding knife;
3. Baton, if targeted on “red” areas of the anatomy;
4. Shotgun;
5. Patrol Rifle;
6. Improvised weapons (“Bumper – 06”);
7. Etc.
And, let us not forget that word that has been pounded into every
Officer’s head (and we have to share the responsibility for this one):
Liability.

Now, let’s add the one factor that throws almost all probability theory
out the window: Life – threatening stimuli.
A concept which may be more useful in understanding actual reaction
time under life – threatening circumstances may be USAF Lt. Col. (Ret.)
John Boyd’s OODA loop. It is not my intention here to recap my
understanding of the OODA loop. (For an excellent summary, please
locate and read Ken Good’s article, “Got a Second? Boyd’s OODA Cycle
in the Close Quarter Battle Environment”.) Suffice it to say that after
being in and running a few force-on-force simulations, most people
(including myself) make mistakes in the initial Observation phase and
then get caught in what Ken Murray describes as a “goofy loop” 2 –
unable to make an appropriate decision as to what to do next. Or, caught
on the reaction (wrong) side of the action / reaction curve.
So What?
Well, let me just throw this out for thought:
• All less lethal tools (including radio, pager, and cell phone) on the
non – dominant side of the duty belt / LBE, etc., accessed and
practiced with the non-dominant hand.
• All lethal force tools on the dominant side of the duty belt, accessed
and practiced with the dominant hand.
Now, please don’t misinterpret me. I am not saying to stop practicing
wounded / disabled drills. Now, more than ever, I practice accessing,
shooting, reloading, and clearing stoppages with the non – dominant
hand AND EYE only. It all boils down to, “Under stress, you will revert
to what you do most often or most recently.”
(If you are the trainer who said that to me many years ago, please contact
me so that I can give you proper credit.)

Maryland Late Muzzleloader Deer Season Opens December 18
Thompson/Center Arms Dream Season Omega Muzzleloader
Maryland Department of Natural Resources
Annapolis, MD --(Ammoland.com)- Maryland’s late muzzleloader
season for deer opens on Saturday, December 18 and continues through
January 1, 2011. The early winter season is popular with deer hunters
and affords them the opportunity to pursue their favorite game with a
different type of firearm.
“Muzzleloader hunting is a great opportunity for hunters to
enjoy more time in the woods with friends and family,” said
DNR’s Deer Project Leader Brian Eyler. “Last year
approximately 35 percent of our muzzleloader hunters were
successful in harvesting at least one deer.”
Deer hunting regulations vary between the two Deer Management
Regions in Maryland. Region A consists of Garrett and Allegany counties
and, new this season, the western half of Washington County. Region B
includes eastern Washington County and the remaining 20 counties.
Bag limits, season dates and other deer hunting information can be
found on the DNR website at

USA Shooting’s Athletes of theYear – Kim Rhode & JoshuaRichmondDEC 09, 2010 04:28P.M.
USA Shooting’s Athletes of the Year: Kim Rhode & Joshua
Richmond
USA Shooting’s Athletes of the Year: Kim Rhode & Joshua Richmond
USA Shooting
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. --(Ammoland.com)- USA Shooting is
pleased to announce Kim Rhode (El Monte, Calif.) and Staff Sgt. Joshua
Richmond (Hillsgrove, Pa.) as the 2010 Female and Male Athlete of the
Year.
Rhode had an outstanding year with a World Championship title, a
National title, two World Cup gold medals, a World Cup Final silver and
an equaled world record.
Rhode started things off with a terrific showing at the Acapulco World
Cup, nailing 97 out of 100 targets for the gold medal. Shortly thereafter,
she equaled the world record at the World Cup in Beijing as she shot 98
out of 100 targets for gold. Next, with 92 out of 100 targets, Rhode
finished fourth at the Dorset World Cup in England. Rhode then traveled
to Colorado Springs, Colo., for the USA Shooting National
Championship.
At the International Shooting Park, she won the competition with 267
out of 275 targets. Combined with her score from Nationals, Rhode’s 235
out of 250 targets from Fall Selection landed her a spot on the 2011
World Clay Target Team. Just three weeks after Nationals, Rhode took
on the top shooters in the world at the World Shooting Championships
in Munich, Germany. Rhode stayed straight in the final to secure the
gold medal and World Champion title with 97 out of 100 targets.
Finally, Rhode’s gold medal year was worthy of an invite to the
prestigious World Cup Final, where she equaled the qualification round
world record of 74 out of 75 targets and shot 21 out of 25 targets in the
final for the silver medal. National Shotgun Coach Bret Erickson said,
“Kim is a dominating force on the international scene and has been for
years. If you look at the results for this year, I think she is still getting
better.” And Rhode’s lustrous career is only expected to shine a little
brighter.
She currently leads the point total in U.S. Olympic Team selection, and
unless another shooter equals or exceeds her point total, she will have
earned her berth to the 2012 Olympic Games. A particular event that
holds much importance for Rhode because she is chasing a new record-
five in five: if Rhode makes the team and medals in London, she will be
the first American athlete of an individual sport to win five medals in five
consecutive Olympic Games.
In regard to her Female Athlete of the Year nod, Rhode said,
“This last year was my best year to date and I appreciate
being selected for Athlete of the Year. I couldn’t have done it
without help from USA Shooting, the coaches and sponsors.
USA Shooting Team sponsors, such as Winchester, Perazzi
and SHE Outdoors have helped members of the team bring
home medals this last year. As a team member I thank all the
sponsors for their support of our shooting team.”
USA Shooting would like to congratulate Kim Rhode on her successful
year.

Staff Sgt. Joshua Richmond (Hillsgrove, Pa.) turns 25 years old on Dec.
19, and has a lot more to celebrate than simply adding a year. Like
Rhode, Richmond began his top-notch year in Acapulco, Mexico at the
first shotgun World Cup of the season. Richmond scored 192 out of 200
targets for the gold medal and a solid start on the year. Shortly
thereafter, he finished fourth at the Dorset World Cup with a score of 188
out of 200 targets. In Colorado Springs, Richmond won the silver medal
at the USA Shooting National Championship with 333 out of 350 targets.
At the World Shooting Championship in Munich, Germany, Richmond
was on fire. He nailed an amazing 146 out of 150 targets in qualification
and stayed straight in the final for a total of 196 out of 200 targets-an
equaled world record score, gold medal and World Championship title.
Richmond topped the ranking at the Fall Selection Match in Kerrville,
Texas, shooting 328 out of 350 targets.
National Shotgun Coach Bret Erickson said, “Having one of
the deepest and most talented Men’s Double Trap teams in
the world, it is a huge accomplishment for Josh to step out
and be the leader of that team.” Though his birthday is on the
horizon, Richmond is still out at Hook Range at the U.S.
Army Marksmanship Unit in Fort Benning, Ga., training for
2012. “I would like to thank the USAMU for molding me into
a champion, Winchester for building a great international
load to use for the 2010 season and Perazzi shotguns for
building a flawless competition over and under. I would also
like to thank family and friends for supporting me through
this journey as well as Les Greevy (USA Shooting regional
coach, Northeast), for molding the way for me and many
junior shooters to experience this great sport. Shoot To Win!”
said Richmond.
He also wanted to note the accomplishments of fellow
USAMU Shooter Daryl Szarenski “who has had an
outstanding year as well and it is unfortunate that they don’t
award two awards for this.”
USA Shooting would like to congratulate Sgt. Joshua Richmond on a
world-class year.
Winchester Ammunition is a Proud Sponsor of the USA Shooting

Montana End-of-Season HunterCheck Station Figures IndicateVaried HarvestDEC 09, 2010 03:57P.M.
Montana End-of-Season Hunter Check Station Figures
Indicate Varied Harvest
Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks
HAVRE, Mont. --(Ammoland.com)- Final figures compiled from the
FWP Region 6 hunter game check station outside Havre show a higher
number of white-tailed deer and mule deer were checked in as compared
to other recent hunting seasons.
According to FWP biologist Scott Hemmer, the number of pronghorn
antelope, elk, pheasants, sharp-tailed grouse and Hungarian (gray)
partridge brought in was in each case less than the average checked in
recent years.
This season 333 pronghorn antelope, 689 mule deer, 314 white-tailed
deer, 33 elk, 707 pheasants, 156 sharp-tailed grouse and 50 Hungarian
partridge were brought to the check station by hunters.
Hemmer said check station data indicate the 2010 antelope harvest was
down 17 percent, the mule deer harvest was up 11 percent, the white-
tailed deer harvest was up 24 percent, the pheasant harvest was down 32
percent, and the sharp-tailed grouse harvest was up 3 percent.
While numbers of elk and Hungarian partridge were also down this year,
state biologists said not enough of these species come through the Havre
check station to provide meaningful harvest trend data. FWP will also be
conducting the annual telephone harvest survey this winter, which will
give more accurate harvest information by species for individual hunting
districts.
FWP Region 6 Wildlife Program Manger Mark Sullivan noted that mild
fall temperatures and excellent habitat conditions during the first part of
the big game season reduced movements and feeding activity by big
game animals in many areas.
“Although big game numbers were generally good across the
Region, animals were not very visible during the first half of
the season,” Sullivan said. “Weather conditions changed
abruptly during the fourth week of the season as
temperatures dropped to well below freezing, and repeated
snowfall made hunting conditions and travel difficult. This
caused animals to be much more visible and concentrated,
but hunter numbers dropped in many hunting districts the
last two weekends due to snow, cold and poor road
conditions.”
Sullivan said FWP field personnel noticed a significant increase in big
game hunter numbers in Region 6, particularly in the hunting districts
between Glasgow and Havre. Most of these were deer hunters who may
have been displaced from other parts of the state due to lower deer
numbers in their traditional hunting areas.

G5′s New Mag-Loc Quiver is the Most Versatile Quiver
Available
G5 Outdoors
MEMPHIS, Mich. --(Ammoland.com)- G5 Outdoors, the leading
manufacturer in archery equipment and design, introduces the Mag-Loc
Quiver.
With its unique magnetic mounting system the Mag-Loc is quite possibly
the most versatile quiver on the market and will fit virtually every bow in
either the riser mounted quiver holes or sight mounted quiver holes.
“We wanted a quiver system that provided versatility in
mounting with a quick, easy and silent detachable system,”
stated G5 Outdoors Vice-President and Co-Owner, Matt
Grace. “The result is the Mag-Loc with its Patent Pending
Mag-Loc magnetic mounting system.”
G5’s New Mag-Loc Quiver is the Most Versatile Quiver Available
The quiver will come in a number of models including an upper riser
hole mounting model, sight mounted version and a universal spline
bracket that can convert any universal sight mounted quiver or quiver
with a standard ammo base to an upper riser mount design.
The magnetic mounting system solves the inherent problem associated
with mounting quivers to slider sights that won’t accept a quiver or
become too bulky. The Mag-Loc can also be mounted to a tree by using
the Mag-Loc tree mount, which features a female base with threaded
screw to be installed in a tree, along with Mag-Loc Treestand Mount,
which has female bracket that has a second more powerful magnet that
attaches to steel stands. Zip ties are also included for aluminum stands.
With its Mag-Tough Magnesium stem and steel reinforced gripper the
Mag-Loc has the durability to complement its versatility. The Mag-Loc is
available in Black, AP, Max 1 and Lost Camo.
MSRP for the Mag-Loc models are: Upper Riser mounted ($99.99),
Sight Mounted ($65.99), Spline Bracket ($29.99), Mag-Loc Tree Mount
($9.99) and Mag-Loc Treestand Mount ($14.99)

Taurus 740 Pistol Review atGunsForSale.comDEC 09, 2010 12:23P.M.
Taurus 740 Pistol Review at GunsForSale.com
By Richard Johnson
Taurus 740 Slim Pistol
GunsForSale.com
Dallas, TX --(Ammoland.com)- GunsForSale.com, the premier gun and
ammunition e-commerce site, announced the publication of a
comprehensive review of the Taurus 740 Slim pistol. The review was
published on the GunsForSale.com blog, Guns, Holsters and Gear.
“The Taurus 740 proved to be an incredible value,” said
Richard Johnson, the author of the review. “It offers .40-
caliber stopping power in a small, easy to conceal package,
while maintaining a price that everyone can afford.”
The Taurus 740 pistol was tested on the range using a wide variety of self
defense and practice ammunition. Features including the manual safety,
SA/DA trigger system, and the three-dot, adjustable sights were all
tested and evaluated.
“The pistol performed very well,” said Johnson. “Everything
just worked. But, what surprised me was the out-of-the-box
accuracy. The sights are excellent on a pistol of this size, and
shots were dead on.”
The complete Taurus 740 review can be found at GunsForSale.com.

Ohioans For Concealed Carryon Ohio Senate RestaurantCarry BillDEC 09, 2010 12:07P.M.
A Statement From Ohioans For Concealed Carry on Ohio
Senate Bill 239 before the Ohio House
Ohioans For Concealed Carry on Ohio Senate Restaurant Carry Bill
Ohioans For Concealed Carry
Ohio --(Ammoland.com)- Recently the news media and pundits have
gone out of their way to misrepresent the truth behind Senate Bill 239,
legislation that would allow a concealed handgun licensee to enter a
restaurant or other liquor serving business.
When this bill was introduced it was stated “when you go to the next
Indian’s game someone will have a beer in one hand and a gun in the
other hand”, and recently this bill has been opposed with the phrase
“mixing guns and bars,” which is effective but inaccurate propaganda.
The graphic above shows that Ohio is not adopting a new idea. In fact, 16
of the 18 states that honor Ohio’s concealed handgun license while
Ohioans travel allow Ohioans to carry a firearm in restaurants that serve
alcohol in those states. Source: http://opencarry.org MYTH: SB239 is to
allow concealed hangun licensees to carry in bars.
• FACT: The legislation allows someone to enter a restaurant or
other Class D establishment only if they are both:
• a) not consuming any alcohol at all while in that
establishment
• b) not already under the influence of alcohol as defined by
ORC 2923.15 (remains as written today)
• FACT: Existing Ohio law (ORC 2923.15) prohibits mere possession
of a firearm by anyone under the influence. Senate Bill 239 does
not change this at all. It remains a crime to be under the influence
and possess.
• FACT: SB239 was written to allow a concealed handgun licensee to
eat lunch or dinner at a restaurant that happens to have a liquor
license, such as Chipolte, Ruby Tuesdays, or an Applebee’s.
• FACT: The armed patron of a restaurant may not consume alcohol
at all or they’re in violation of SB239.
• FACT: SB239 would make eating dinner at a restaurant or other
Class D establishment no different than walking down the liqour
aisle of a grocery story while armed.
• FACT: People don’t go to bars to “not drink” intoxicating
beverages, so they wouldn’t fall under SB239. However, a cash
delivery vendor who may service that business could lawfully carry
a firearm.
• MYTH: The police are opposed to allowing “guns in bars” and
claim it’ll lead to bloodshed.
• FACT: A substantial number of FOP and other union lodges have
Class D liqour permits & server liquor to cops.
• FACT: Police officers in Ohio lobbied for this exact exemption for
them in HB347 in 2007.
• FACT: The Cleveland Patrolman’s Association’s “Zone Car
Lounge”, limited to police officers, serves alcohol.
• FACT: Regardless of SB239’s fate the only people in Ohio who can
lawfully be armed & drink in a bar are cops.
Need proof? — See our documents Hypocritical & Biased opposition to
HB203/SB239 by Ohio Law Enforcement:
http://bit.ly/g2WEV5 as well as our “Can I conceal carry here lawfully?”
SB239 flow-chart: http://bit.ly/g5pEvs
The facts are quite simple – this legislation allows Ohio’s concealed

have a bar in a separate section of the restaurant, so long as they do not
drink. The legislation does not prohibit a proprietor from posting a “No
Guns” sign like any other private business.
The legislation does not, in any fashion, legalize or authorize
the possession of a firearm by anyone consuming alcohol in
any quantity, nor allow the same for anyone under the
influence of alcohol as already prohibited by law.

Ohioans for Concealed Carry, founded in 1999, is a grassroots political

getting concealed carry passed into law in Ohio. With that accomplished,
our mission became to refine the concealed carry law and to expand and

Residents Invited to Celebrate‘Shoe Year’s Eve’ at MichiganState ParksDEC 09, 2010 10:20A.M.
Residents Invited to Celebrate ‘Shoe Year’s Eve’ and More at
Michigan State Parks & Recreation Areas
Michigan Department of Natural Resources
Michigan --(Ammoland.com)- For anyone looking for an unusual and
inexpensive way to celebrate New Year’s Eve in Michigan, the
Department of Natural Resources and Environment offers “Shoe Year’s
Eve” – a great opportunity to grab the GPS, explore thousands of acres of
scenic state land by snowshoe, and then relax in a cozy cabin nestled
among some of Michigan’s most beautiful natural destinations.
“This has become a ‘don’t miss’ annual tradition with my
friends,” said DNRE recreation programmer Maia Stephens.
“For years, we’ve donned our headlights, snowshoed the
campground at night, enjoyed a potluck in the cabin, and
then warmed our toes by campfire. No crowds, no dangerous
driving – just a chance to relax, reflect and reconnect with
those who mean the most.”
Stephens said for those who have already made plans to ring in the new
year, there is plenty of time and ample opportunity to enjoy unique
winter experiences at Michigan’s state parks and recreation areas.
“You’d like to build your own snowshoes? Ski by lantern
light? Enjoy a serene, guided winter hike? Michigan’s state
parks have all that and more,” said Stephens.
She cited more than 50 cabins (some that are “ski-in” only), yurts and
lodges that are available throughout the winter and offer a quiet getaway,
as well as several campgrounds for those who want a unique winter
camping experience complete with modern amenities.
“Snow or not, our state parks offer plenty of opportunities for
guests to enjoy Michigan’s winter magic and great outdoors
during this special time of year,” said Ron Olson, chief of the
DNRE’s Recreation Division. “Groomed ski trails, old-growth
forests, riverside cabins … these are just a few of the
wonderful recreational opportunities you can take advantage
of during the winter months.”
With the offering of the Recreation Passport (which replaced
the annual motor vehicle permit Oct. 1), Stephens said now is
the perfect time to get outdoors at Michigan state parks. “The
Recreation Passport is just $10 when Michigan residents
renew their license plates through Secretary of State,” she
explained. “The Passport is your ticket to visit all 98 state
parks and recreation areas as many times as you want, for the
duration of your registration.”
A list follows of scheduled snowshoe, cross-country skiing and other
winter events at Michigan state parks and recreation areas. To check the
latest up-to-date event listings, get a list of groomed ski trails, and
available winter lodging, visit www.michigan.gov/stateparks.
The Department of Natural Resources and Environment is committed to
the conservation, protection, management, and accessible use and
enjoyment of the state’s environment, natural resources and related
economic interests for current and future generations. Learn more at

ASYM Precision Ammunition
DURANGO, Colo. --(Ammoland.com)- ASYM PRECISION National
Match Target ammunition is a match winning, extremely accurate load
that tells the shooter just how well their tuned 45 can perform.
Featuring the Nosler 185 grain JHP – a bullet prized among serious
bullseye shooters for its gilt-edged accuracy – the National Match Target
is a mild shooting target round. Utilizing ASYM match brass, which is
custom drawn brass made to ASYM’s specifications, and propelled by
premium VihtaVouri powder, the round is loaded to 775 fps, a velocity
proven to be a sweet spot in accuracy and function.
“As a custom 1911 maker whose customers expect uncommon
accuracy, I looked to the Camp Perry National Matches for
the inspiration behind our National Match Target
ammunition. We built this round from the ground up using
only premium components, assembled on state-of-the-art
equipment customized to my own standards and hand-
inspected and individually chamber checked as part of a
quality control process that insures outstanding
performance,” explained Stan Chen, president of Stan Chen
Customs and ASYM Ammunition.
The National Match Target is available in a box of 50 or a case of 500
and will run in most 1911s using a stock 16 lbs. spring. For more brisk
ejection, springs from 10 to 14 lbs. can be used.
The load is a premium target load and although it uses a JHP projectile,
the bullet is not designed to expand at the given velocity. Those looking
for a premium defensive load should consider the ASYM SOLID
DEFENSE XTM (SDX) load featuring the Barnes solid copper TAC-XP
bullet.
“Besides being the definitive accuracy load for competition,
the National Match Target is an extremely pleasant load to
shoot, especially in extended training sessions,” observed
Chen. “So much so that we warn our customers to beware,
because this round will make them fall in love with their 45
all over again.”

ammunition, the full line of ASYM PRECISION ammunition or to place

Louisiana’s Historic Conservation Magazine Goes Digital
Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries
Louisiana –(Ammoland.com)- The first online magazine for the
Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) was launched
on Tues, Dec. 7, opening the gateway for global exposure to the well-
known and historical document, Louisiana Conservationist magazine
(LCM).
As with many traditional publications these days, the LCM ceased
printed publication in Spring 2010 with plans to launch an electronic
version in the summer.
The Deepwater Horizon oil spill, however, postponed the magazine’s new
electronic format, consuming LDWF staff’s time during the summer.

Now, just in time to finish out 2010 the Louisiana Conservationist is
available again in a web page format viewable in any browser
www.louisianaconservationist.org or in a book format featuring the
familiar magazine-style layout.
www.louisianaconservationist.org/current
Louisiana’s Historic Conservation Magazine Goes Digital
Each issue will contain the same great stories and photography that was
the hallmark of the printed magazine. Articles in this first online issue
include details on LDWF’s efforts throughout the recent oil spill disaster,
great gun cleaning tips and recipes from the 2010 Louisiana Seafood
Cook-Off in New Orleans.
Links to related web sites, department videos, and photographs are
scattered throughout the magazine along with all the popular social
networking tools. The new site also offers the option to create a
username, allowing for access to comments and notification of upcoming
editions.
“We are excited about this new venture for the
Conservationist,” commented LDWF Secretary Robert
Barham, “Moving forward with an online version invites the
entire world to step inside and see our great state from a
closer view.”
First printed in 1926, Louisiana Conservationist magazine was created to
keep Louisiana citizens informed and educated on fish and game
regulations and conservation programs. It has survived through the
generations, evolving and changing with the world. Today its legacy
continues, moving forward with the electronic age.
