Flintlock Magazine was the first publication by the
Contemporary Longrifle Association. This
was before The Broadside, Traditions Magazine, before Contemporary
Longrifle Association Facebook. It was a
black/white publication done by Art Riser Design. Art was the editor and designer. In the first issues Art created the layout,
wrote articles, sold ads then created them.
Jan wrote articles and did photography.
Robert Weil wrote articles and contributed photography as did Gordon
Barlow. Many of the photographs were
from George Shumway. The first issues
began around 1998 with the magazine continuing to about 2005. The magazine went from about 12 pages to 42. As the magazine grew in size more people were
required to submit photography and article as well as advertising. The information below is from the contents page of the
