Noah Cash Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Not to change the subject... but.... Just out of curiosity how many folks have kind of given up on the CC since it went digital?? I still go over the printed version quarterly, but the digital version, well not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read each monthly Chronicle, I think SASS did what they had to do when they went digital. Sign of the times, I used to have 3 newspapers delivered to my house and read them all and don’t have any delivered now and don’t miss it a bit. The San Diego Union Tribune delivers a Sunday paper free of charge but I haven’t opened it up in years. It gets used to start the fireplace with or something else.

I'm in your court Noah, I read the paper copy cover to cover, but just can't sit at the PC and stare at the digital version. Not sure I'm clear on the cost to print however--- I also belong to NMLRA and get a nice mag (Muzzle Blasts ) every month on shiny paper and thicker than the Chronicle and membership is half the cost give or take! If they can do it-seems SASS could. Then I'd have something to leave in Doctors offices etc. for others to enjoy and maybe become part of.

I am an on line kind of guy. I rarely read printed books any more. I suspect a lot of us are the same. I read the Chronicle every month. What it doesn't do is gather dust on my covfefe table.

MBFields Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I know that computers for some are hateful and some would like to use them in a shooting sequence at a match but the digital version is nice in respect to what Bart Solo replied. Also if you are so inclined when reading online and you want to check out a website on some page if you click on it you are transferred to the website.

Call me "old fashioned" but I like paper. I will look at the on-line Chronicle and scan it for anything of interest and move on, but when the Quarterly paper copy comes I pretty much read it cover to cover. One thing I do miss are the more technical articles on gunsmithing, leather work, building carts, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Hombre Sin Nombre Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I think the format they have going now is a pretty good compromise. You get the paper one 4 times a year, similar to my guns of the old west subscription, and the electronic version every month. I like the electronic version because I can click on the links to get to something immediately and not have to remember it later. I also don’t feel bad skipping over stuff like the comics or political pieces, whereas I tend to read the paper one cover to cover. So basically, we get the best of both worlds.

Dead River Den, SASS#915 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I like the paper version, but then i still like reading books, dont have the internet at home so what i see is over my phone, take care, stay safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assassin Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 If one were to look under advertising information in the CC 2018, it now shows that the CC comes out 4 times per year. My dream told me the digital version is dead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Canyon Kid #43974 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I quit reading comic magazines when I was about 10. Are there a majority of cowboys that really read the comics in the CC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watab kid Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 i enjoy the hard copy i get when i get it but seldom check the digital , i most likely would if i had more free time , we get no hard newspapers anymore except those coupon things , since my vision started getting less quality i find the newsprint less fun , i watch my news and do check digital , i still read books tho , life is changing and some things i miss others i dont , looking back on life now i see that changes were constantly happening just slow enough we adjusted , at this point it seems they are happening way too fast , the darn phones change once a year or more often , and they arent even phones anymore really , who talks besides me ? most text now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyesa Horg Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 My issue with the digital copy is I browse it when first downloaded and that's about it. The paper copy sits on the table next to my chair and gets picked up and read during TV commercial breaks. Then eventually left at an Doctors office etc. for others to peruse. And in response to Gold Canyon Kid above, I don't read the comics! Also, if other organizations/clubs I belong to can publish a monthly that is twice as thick and at half the dues cost, I figure SASS ought to be able to as well. No offense meant to SASS as I love 'em, but hey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Stock Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I prefer the online Cowboy Chronicle. I can read it on my phone wherever I am, and no stacks of magazines pile up in the house. Its also easier and faster to search for certain keywords, as opposed to hardcopy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
