Paintball Magazine Survey, What are YOU Reading?

[Riot[Z-Grip]]

I subscribe to:

1)PB2X (2yrs)
2)APG (1st year)

This is my second year reading PB2X and it is by far my favorite paintball mag. Although I do notice a few gramatcial/spelling mistakes per issue (And Josh, I AM tempted to send a letter in calling you on this. ), the content is just amazing.

Just got a subscription to APG this year. (Thanks to my brother Chris, who is wicked cool about getting me pball stuff when my parents buy me socks .) Some articles I will read, and others I will eventually read when I get bored.... All in all, it's a good read, but I probably won't renew my subscription.

I prefer Paintball Games International. It's just the style and humour in the way they write their articles - it's just nice, light, enjoyable reading material. I also like their tactics section, especially when they bring in guest Pro players to write the articles.

After PGI, I buy PB2X. They have nice well written articles, but my only complaint is that it is sometimes too serious, and some of the tournament series covered I have never heard of hehe. I kind of like more international coverage.

Edit: although I have never read Facefull, as it is hard to get access to in my area.

Facefull is by far the best when it comes to pb photography.

PGI is the only magazine to which I subscribe and it's strictly for economic reasons. I regularly buy PB2X and Faceful but it's more so I can have something to read in the bathroom. PB2X's rec sections are probably the best in the business and because I am strictly a rec player, I appreciate what they do.

Re: Re: Paintball Magazine Survey, What are YOU Reading?

Thats what i was thinking. Why give us advertisments if we already know pretty much everything there is to know about something you're going to be realising anyways?

Facefull and PGI are my favorites. Ravi Owns!

facefull is the shizznat.

apg and p8nt...course, i haven't really gotten a look at any others. (donations???? )

APG

I get APG cause its like 3 times the size of the others, gots tips for newbies(im no newb ). And its fun to read the Co2 mail. It also has the most listing for paintball stores in the back. All around I think it is a better produced magazine. I only buy it when I can find it in stock, mainly Barnes and Nobles(SP?).

I'd say you want to gear your advertising for what type of marker you are trying to sell. The X-mag for example is a high end tourney marker (or for us rec players that are just plain NUTS). The appropriate magazine to advertise the X-mag in may be different than the appropriate magazine to advertise the proto bodies and level 10.

Well, APG is the most widely read- though, they have terribly written articles and next to no substance...

I love the photography in Facefull, and the content in PB2X.

I just subscribed to PB2X and I'm looking forward to getting my first issue.

[SilverFox]

My vote went to PGI because if I had to have just one mag it would be pgi. Here is the list of my family's subscriptions.

PGI
Facefull
APG
PB2X
Crossfire
Scenario News

[Hoophooted]

You forgot Scenario News! 100% Scenario coverage.

For sexy, glossy pages, you've gotta go with PB2X. Now that PB2X has bought Crossfire and they plan to run complete rec-ball and scenario coverage... Crossfire gets my #3 vote, behind S.N. and PB2X
