Jungle Magazine hits newsstands

If you’re new to Jungle, this is the only dedicated scenario paintball publication that brings you woodsball news from all over the world.

If you’re curious about why the first newsstand copy is actually the 14th issue–it’s because for the past year, Jungle was packaged as a free publication with Facefull Magazine, the world’s top competition paintball magazine. Following the incredible success and overwhelming support from the scenario community and players all over the world, Jungle is now ready to launch as its own independent publication, with a cover price of just $4.95.

Why Jungle?
If the lifestyle, equipment and interests of scenario paintball players are so different from competition paintball, why cover them in the same magazine? We don't. Jungle is an independent full-blown scenario paintball magazine. It features the latest news, gear, tests, strategy, in-depth features, and profiles, but also brings you exclusive interviews with the most respected names in the game, and keeps you updated with unparalleled coverage of scenario games from across the US all the way to the UK, Russia and Asia.

Continued praise for Jungle Magazine:

“I feel that Jungle Magazine is at the cutting edge of the ever changing paintball industry. I am amazed at the photography which always catches my attention, leaving me wanting to see more.”
Dewayne Convirs, D-Day Productions, USA

“Jungle magazine mirrors the high quality of their sister magazine, Facefull. Their excellent photo quality really brings the games to life. I like the rating system and honest views that they portray in their event coverage as well as their style of writing."
Mike “Blue” Hanse, EMR Paintball Park, USA

"It was about time a magazine tackled Milsim paintball. It's the best industry news of the decade.”
François Gagnon, CEO Bigfoot Paintball, CANADA

"If you are a scenario or tactical player or just a serious recballer, you must have it. If you are an event promoter, Jungle will give you new ideas. If you’re a parent, keep up with what your kids are crazy about."
Nick Sobolev, Action Paintball Games, RUSSIA

"Did someone say camo gear? I'm thinkin' Jungle has this covered!"
Dean "CUDA" Allen, Mission Masters Paintball Games, USA

Congratulations. But based on what I heard from industry people, (not to mention certain people featured in the magazine that have been in 'Trouble' lately) you could have a tough row to hoe.

Work on getting basic facts straight, (like the correct names of fields and hometowns) use spell check more often, resist the urge for sensationalism, and try and work out the French/English "continuity thing" and you may succeed.

Gear the magazine for stable ADULTS, not mushbrained illiterate kidz or overweight 40-something Nazi/Commie dress up guys, and I think you'll be on to something.

I am not trying to be combative with this post; I look at it as constructive criticism. I wish you great success, but if you do not cater to a stable demographic of adults, but instead pander to the Lowest Common Denominator, you will fail. I have seen this happen too often to other magazines, both paintball related and non-paintball related.

I will have to check it out and if satisfied get a subscription.

Your input is appreciated. And if you ever see an article written by a person with "zulu" in his name, that would be me. Feel free to pm me anytime with any constructive criticism.

I hope the "industry people" will take the time to shoot an email to Jungle (or myself and I can put it in the right hands) with anything they may find to be in error as well. You can PM for it if you'd like. This magazine is written by us and for us and I, personally, would like to see it be a very strong representation of our sport and take great pride in everything my name goes on (and doesn't) in the mag (even though there are the occasional errors here and there).

I may have to go pick up a copy of this. I honestly never thought that I'd see a guy wearing a v-force armor mask and bdus, shooting a tippmann on the cover of a paintball magazine. Is the guy on the cover really just some random guy?

Man, I only supported Facefull because it came with Jungle for "free." Yes I'm cheap like that

If Cuda endorses it, I'll buy it. That guy puts on the best mission games out there.
