Hello,
My neighbor gave me his copy of PredatorXtreme to look at. I have to say I wasn't really impressed. First, there were issues with pictures and text matching. For instance the very large feline pictured above the text about a coyote. Also, in the article with the guy hunting coyotes with a shotgun, all the pictures showed rifles? And about that article, I thought the writing could use some work. He used the same phrases within 4 or 5 lines of each other. There were a lot of "reviews" towards the back, but they sounded like stuff you'd read on the box of the item, not actually a reviewers testimony, you know? If you're going to review something, you have to be willing to say bad things about it.
The last thing that would keep me from subscribing is the price. What was it, 5 issues for $14? That's like buying it at the store. I'm used to getting a hefty discount when I subscribe. I used to subscribe to MaximumPC. Their off-the-rack cost was probably $2.50-$3, but I could get 12 issues for $12 when I subscribed.
Others have commented on what the articles should contain. I'd like to see a mix of dream-hunts and everyday stuff. But both need to be well written.
So, to get me to subscribe, make it 12 issues for $15-$20 and edit better.
Jim
