The Best of the 2011 Gun Nuts Target Photo Contest
The Best of the 2011 Gun Nuts Target Photo Contest
America Loves Guns.
Description
We picked some American symbols and their weapons an shot the target accordingly. The cowboy with his .44 revolver, the law enforcement agent with his Smith and Wesson, the soldier and his AR 15, and the Native American with his Henry lever action. Each took one shot(we wanted to make sure there was enough of the target left to put on the pole) an we raised the flag as American as we could.

Its...beautiful ! built, bought, or borrowed ?
Hey! That's my gun!
they must not have had that many pictures. Cause this is just another case of the editors are all inbred morons. half of these pictures are just plain stupid. Thought it was a gun nuts contest. Not a put this in your picture photography contest. most of these are totally unoriginal and have been done in 100s of photo contests. Which is sad cause your suppose to be Magazine editors and have a some what of a knowledge in that area. But what do you expect from rednecks. All in all i counted 12 that were worthy of even being on the internet.
"We asked you to shoot a special target in our magazine and take your most creative photos for this year's Gun Nuts Target Photo Contest."
maybe you morons need to learn proper word usage. Shooting with the camera is null since you say shoot and take the photo. How many targets havent been shot. The answer TOO F*Kn MANY... this is why i dont subscribe to this horrible periodical anymore. INBREEDING IS A CRIME....
You people don't even know your own rules. First you said that "each entry must be submitted on an individual basis" Well the winning pic. does not follow that rule. and your rules say "Entries may not contain profanity,nudity" But some of your top 50 are a no no. If your not even going to go by your own rules Then whats the sinse in even entering. You said to take a creative pic, not who can take the best pic. of the target with the flag. I put my heart into this contest and took some of the most creative pics that you got this year.I have shown all the pics. to alot of people and told them the rules and guide lines, they every one thought I had a good chance of winning. But not one of my twenty something pics. even made your top 50.I am so disapointed with you that not only will I never enter another one of your contest, But I am also going to unsubscribe from your websight and your mag. And then I am going to tell everybody I know to never buy your mag, and never enter one bullcrap contest.
↑↑↑ sore loser much? ↑↑↑
I think a large part of the problem is the contest is not specific enough. Are photos being judged for creativity or more for photographic skill? Some look like the photographers set up their best still-life and then stuck the target in there, almost as an afterthought. Also, should these be realistic or is a little Photoshopped fun allowed? Perhaps there is room for all these things, but some guidelines on what to focus on wouldn't hurt. (See what I did there? Focus...photography contest....) Btw, am I the only one who thinks the winning entry looks like the cover of a Village People album?
