Paintball Magazine Survey, What are YOU Reading?

[Hell Seeker]

I voted!

I voted Pb2x because I am a new subscriber and I like what I find in the mag. I am new to paintballing and am trying to find anyone interested in my area to start a team. I live in Davis and my e-mail is [email protected].

I am really excited to see what the new crossfire magazine will be like. Scenario news a great magazine and the only one that I subscribe to.

[Annie Oakley]

Paintball 2Xtremes really is the best paintball magazine out there!




*Are those MY balls on your face?*

I don't read any paintball magazines. Unfortunately, none was not an option.

AMEN!

This is correct. AO members don't need to be converted to wanting the X-mag, proto body, etc. We already WANT or HAVE.

[Mr. T!]

Can't stand apg or pb2x, they are both whack mags. The best out there is p8nt, faceful and PB Int. They have the best content (reviews, tournies, even a little scenario) and have worthwhile insights into how the game is changing adn were the sport is headed. I dislike the other mags because they are too much geared towards beginers and rec ball allstars.

Facefull, it has awesome tourney coverage, has the best pictures and tells about paintball in every other country that has it.

I would highly reccommend against going to APG for ads. If you do a survey in the magazine they consist of approx 66% ads. Where facefulls is a fraction of that. So if you think about it... if you advirtise in apg, your ad is competing with many other ads for attension, where as in facefull there is alot less other ads, therefore it demands more attension

Tom,

I do not read any of these magazines. In the past, I have found that the writing is sub-par (to be kind), the publishing values are sub-par (to be kinder) and the bias portrayed in most of these magazines would make the New York Times blush.

The large number of ads is not really a turn-off, as this is what one comes to expect from non-membership (as compared to subscription) magazines.

I had high hopes for Facefull, but it has also fallen by the wayside.

FYI

I couldn't of said it any better.

Tom,

I still believe you tried to buy the correct magazine a couple years ago when you offered to purchase P8NT. I just wish they published more magazines a year.

P8NT has proven to be the best written and the best looking magazine with only Facefull coming close. PGI would be third because of Joe Carter and Ravi.

PGI Rules

TJ Lambini cracks me up and Justin Owens owns!

PGI,PGI,PGI,PGI
its cool,Robbo is the man

[Ravi]

Definitely PGI...

My choice is pretty obvious - PGI. Just thought you'd like to know why -

PGI is the magazine that lets me write what I want and the way I want it. What you see in the magazine is exactly what I typed out when I wrote the article. With my stuff, at least, there is very little or no mucking around with the content of my reviews to make the articles more advertisement friendly.

This policy has gotten both the magazine and I in hot water with manufacturers and advertisers (Animal Paintball hates my guts). Still, Anthony and the gang at PGI continue to be supportive and print what I send.

This kind of editorial courage and honesty (again, at least with my articles) is extremely rare in this sport. It was a lack of this that drove me to leave APG.

Im saying FACEFULL rignt now. Its got great coverage, amazing pictures and not too many stupid adds like APG. My only problem with FF is that there are A LOT of typos. Also I've been reading PGI alot and thats damn good.
