Update on Ryan
Hey, gang, sorry I didn't post this sooner. I figured you all should get an update on what's been going on with me. In order to support my family better, I've taken on a full-time job. Mor than full, actually, because I've been putting in 10-12 hour days. This has obviously curtailed my availability to work on HHI stuff. This means a couple of things.
First, I'm not able to produce the new Sixgunner in the form I was. I'm looking to potentially turn it into a blog in the future, where we can still have a repository of our collective knowledge and stories. I was leaning toward this, anyway, as getting folks to write and turn in stories was always difficult (except for you regular authors who always sent me something!) and competed with the forum.
Second, I am putting the Shortgun Sportsman on hold while I settle into and catch up with my new job. Not sure what the future looks like for that podcast yet, but there are some more guests I would like to get.
As for giveaways, I'd love to know what you guys think. Giveaways are the main expense of HHI, and I do love getting this gear into your hands. However, our group is small, and we have been unable to offer the nicer prizes I envisioned (i.e., guns). I thought that going to a quarterly giveaway might allow us to afford better prizes, but I want your feedback. Either way, I will be doing the winner announcements here on the forum and through email going forward,
Thank you all for your support of HHI, and of me, personally. You really are the best hunting community out there.
Hope 2025 brings you a bit of a slower pace! The podcast and magazine are such treasures of information and great for posterity. Hope you can find a way to keep them around.
