It is lovely in this day and age to be able to sell one’s wares ‘pon the Internet, especially with it being something as ‘modern quaint’ as a printed magazine called Slingshot World.
However, one of the big deals with print, is to be able to stand and have a little browse through a copy in the shop where you buy it. Did you know that at WH Smith’s, They have a rule that the public are allowed to stand and look at magazines for as long as they like without being asked to leave! After all, they are supposed to be a newsagents!
I have been to visit a few shops and have been successful at the following locations. These are the places where you can go and find Slingshot World magazine on the counter and have a wee browse…
WOODYS OF WEMBLEY http://www.woodysofwembley.co.uk/
Wondrous shop… amazing, patient staff. Coarse, fly game, BIG GAME, cane fly rods and cane coarse rods. Airguns, crossbows, shotguns, clothing, bushcraft products, specialist hunting knives, co2 airsoft products and even night vision equipment and chronometers to measure projectile speeds! The shop has become more and more lined with good things down the years, plus the best air rifle selection and care by Dave, a full-on professional gunsmith. The very fellow who helped me with my crazy Y Shot Tactical! http://www.slingshotworld.co.uk/montiegear-y-shot-slingshot-fully-loaded/

Red One Airsoft – another emporium of wonder, in St Albans, presided over by a Yoda of Airsoft, with super-keen enthusiasm for his passion. http://www.red1airsoft.co.uk/index.php
These are the guys for the deep tactical items, like a leg holster for your slingshot, or a cool helmet mount for the GoPro! I bought a bag of three Weaver rail pieces to make my fishing sling rig from there, as well as said hat bracket. And the boss Jason is a diamond geezer. He has the magazine in a countertop rack, as do the others.
