Shot Show..... As you guys receive this issue the Raider Crew will be representing the UK at the 2010 Shot Show. Put simply the Shot Show or the Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade Show and Conference is the largest and most comprehensive trade show for all professionals involved with the shooting sports and hunting industries. It is the world's premier expo of combined firearms, ammunition, archery, cutlery, outdoor apparel, optics, camping and related products and services. The SHOT Show attracts buyers from all 52 states (in the US) and more than 75 countries from around the world. This is the fifth time we will be there flying the flag, but more importantly Raider will be bringing you the low-down on what's hot at the Shot Show in terms of new gear and equipment the year.

January 2010

Welcome to 2010......... As the world slips effortlessly into a brand new year, we here at Raider (as I'm sure you) can't help but wonder what's in store. From our point of view its quite simple - more of what you guys have come to love about Raider, more tried and tested, more group tests and gear reviews (not to mention a whole heap of exclusive editorial). But unfortunately for our brave deployed soldiers, Airmen and Sailors 2010 will be full of uncertainty. It's a sad fact of war that there will be more pain and sorrow and ultimately the loss of life. Our Brave Service men and women don't ask you to feel sorry for them, but to support them, but more importantly remember their wounded and dead. 2009 was a tough year and I suspect it's only going to get tougher. One thing that I can say for certain is that Raider will be supporting our troops (wherever they may be) and I would ask that our readers do the same. We here at Raider are extremely proud of our brave young men and women out on the front line and would like to wish each and every one of you a Happy and SAFE New Year.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you guys and especially your families. To all of our troops wherever they may be? Keep your head down and stay safe.

The digital age Who would have thought it? Seventeen months ago when we launched Raider, we were looking to establish a foothold on the Military publications market (that we achieved relatively easily), we then looked to support out troops, that again was done with minimum of effort (first came our circulation into Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Marine Decompression Centre) ﾖ which in turn gave us the highest penetration of any publisher into theatre, now we are pulling out all the stops to offer a state of the art version of Raider. It's not a simple down loadable pdf file (but you do have that option), it's a stunning digitalised version of Raider that not only allows you to zoom in but flick the pages. The technology is there to allow us to have direct hyper links off our advertisers pages straight to their web site and also the ability to replace all of the images with streaming video clips (that's going to come on line a bit later). But for now point your browser at www.raider-mag.com kick back and take a look at the sample on-line. What makes this appealing is that the digital subscriptions price will be a fraction of our paper price and we all know that that's one of the cheapest out there. The downside is no free gifts just the cheaper digital version. Informed readers are happy readers that will buy with confidence. You can trust Raider, British troops do.

October 2009

Upwards and Onwards Raider has pretty much found its own niche within the military market and continues to set standards, not only in design and exclusive content, but perhaps more importantly distribution and availability and that's all thanks to you ﾖ Our readers. So to celebrate Raiders continued success we've increased the issue size and launched yet another new section called "Gallery". It's all about you guys, it's about ordinary people performing extraordinary jobs so if you have a picture (whether it be On patrol, in the back of a chopper, sitting about a fob, having a laugh or simply chilling then we'd love to see it, what's more if your picture is published in the gallery section we'll send you out a little something to say thanks- so turn to page 8 and 9 and see if you can spot yourself. You'll also notice a major influx of advertisers into this issue- why? That's simple because Raider gets the job done; we deliver our publication to a hungry audience. Informed readers are happy readers that will buy with confidence. You can trust Raider, British troops do. To all of our troops wherever they may be? Keep your head down and stay safe.

Lets all take a moment

Recently we have received quite a few emails from readers asking us "if the war in Afghanistan is worth it?" I guess the mails are a knee jerk reaction to the high amount of fatalities in the month of July; it's certainly a political hot potato. Are we pro war? Anyone that is would be mad, but we here at Raider are extremely proud off and pro our Armed forces and the hard and evidentially dangerous work they are doing. One of the emails pointed out (all be it miss guided) that Raider is making money off the war because of our distribution into theatre. That is the furthest thing from the truth; yes we have the highest penetration of any publisher into Afghanistan, but it's all FREE, we are here to support our troops and supply them with an informative publication and an insight on gear that no other military publisher does. This month British soldiers have certainly been taking a pounding, with 19 to date of our brave boys paying the ultimate sacrifice. Since the conflict started too many of our troops and MOD civilians have died while serving in Afghanistan but let us not forget why they are there. Let's all take a moment and remember these brave individuals and their ultimate sacrifice. To all of our troops wherever they may be? Keep your head down and stay safe

August 2009

What's it all about? Recently I've been asked "what's with the price drop on Raider subscriptions?" It would be easy to reply "because we can" but in truth it's all in our master plan, we've moved to a new magazine distribution company and invested a huge amount into in-store promotions (throughout the world), we've listened to you our rapidly expanding readership, changed a few things and are now entering our new phase of growth. It's never been about making a fast buck, but about providing a service. We've achieved a small part of that by having the largest penetration in Iraq and Afghanistan of any publisher (Source PJHQ) and now we want to become the biggest selling Independent publication out there. And you know what; with the support that you guys are giving us it won't be too long before we have achieved that. By achieving this it means that we are doing our jobs properly. Hopefully it won't be too long before we have an all singing all dancing virtual edition of Raider out there so it will be even easier to get your favourite military magazine. The futures bright, the future is Raider.

July 2009

Listening to you As we roll out the response for the reader's survey, it's become clear to us that you guys want more Unit Profiles; On Patrol features and much more Tried and Tested, so here's what we have done. First off, we have increased our extremely popular Tried and Tested section to three pages this issue, we've dropped the Company Profile section and replaced it with an amazing insight into the US Special Forces community. As I write this foreword I'm sitting in the Officers' Mess of 16 Air Assault as an invited member of the press to follow the Potential Young officers of the Parachute Regiment. This exclusive series of articles will build into a definitive guide to show you our readers what it takes to become an officer in the Parachute Regiment. Raider will be following the chosen few over the next year through the entire process, visiting Sandhurst, P Company, Platoon Commanders Course and eventually deploying with a newly qualified Parachute Regiment young officer. Raider has been working closely with the Defence Imagery team (with the correct guidance and following the correct procedures) to insure that we have an ample supply of photography (under the news of offsetting rule) to promote the British Armed Forces no matter where they are in the world. The futures bright, the future is Raider.

Oh my.................. Wow what a month it's been for us here at Raider, one thing that's for certain you guys loved our subs offer and guess what? Because of the huge response we got it's here to stay. Yep that's right a recession busting ﾣ25.00 that makes us the cheapest subscription of any Military publication here in the UK (don't forget that a fiver of that goes straight to Help for Hero's) and why I hear you asking? That's simple Raider is not all about making money, it's about providing a service and making sure you the reader gets value for money and Raider is certainly providing that. One of the questions we get asked a lot is that once the UK forces withdraw from Iraq, what's going to happen with our circulation into theatre? The answer to that is pretty simple. We will keep up our penetration, but just shift our copies around slightly, which means that there will be more availability in Afghanistan and at the same time we will be increasing our availability on British bases, whilst investing a huge amount into our in store promotions and news trade presence.

The futures bright, the future is Raider

Look at us now

Who would have thought it, a year on and we have a successful publication. This issue (Volume 2 Issue 1) is where we start turning the heat up and celebrating the fact that you the reader have turned Raider into a must have publication. So to celebrate our success we've dropped our subscription cost right down to the ground. A credit crunch busting ﾣ25.00 will now get you 12 issues of your favourite Military publication delivered right to your door each and every month (that's a massive saving of ﾣ20 off our original subscription price) and if that's not enough we felt that it was about time that we gave some back to the industry that we report on so as from this issue ﾣ5.00 of every subscription received will be donated to The Help for Hero's fund. Raider for us is not about making a quick buck or turning a fast profit, it's about providing a service and that's why we have the largest penetration of any publisher into Iraq and Afghanistan (source PJHQ). This year will also see a major investment into our worldwide news trade presence and availability (which can only be a good thing).

We've also been listening to you guys and have changed a few things with this issue. Out goes the camo section and in comes more of the coverage you asked for. Direct Action - News from the front line is a new section that brings you all of the Direct Action news from all of the units that are deployed. Also it seems that our gear tests are going down a treat and again we've listened to you guys and with this issue we are launching yet another new section. Group tests, it's all about essential gear huddled together and tested. We've also extended our Tried and Tested staff, Liam Owen who joins us as an ex Royal Marine Commando with over 12 year's service.

The futures bright, the future is Raider

For those of you who have been part our readership for the last few months perhaps I don't really need to introduce myself. I have been writing for 'Raider' from its first publication - first with 'Tried and Tested' and also with occasional articles on military units and equipment. As you will have read last month, the Publishing Director, Paul Monaf recently invited me to take over the newly created position of Military Editor. I want to put over twenty years of military experience primarily within Commando and Special Forces at the service of the magazine.

It's all change here at Raider

Hello and welcome back to Raider (the fastest growing in terms of circulation) Independent magazine in the UK. Now before other publishers start wagging a disapproving finger at us what we mean by this is that our circulation simply continues to grow. Not only have we been asked by soldiers and our military contact to increase the levels of issues to Iraq and Afghanistan, but now we can proudly announce that Raider is available to Royal Marines as they come home through the Decompression facility in Cyprus, which means that for our advertisers and supporters we can boast an even bigger and more targeted audience, plus our global news trade circulation has never looked better and in fact this year we are committed to have a more visible presents throughout the world. Talking of Royal Marines we here at Raider can proudly announce that we have appointed a Military Editor (Dave Devenney) who you all know through our unique Tried and tested section. Dave will be responsible for a number of sections within Raider and joins the team with loads of new ideas and feedback from the military world, which we will be implementing over the coming months. Watch this space for a new and improved tri service edition of your favourite independent military magazine.
