German Salazar:

[Tuxedo007]

Just wanted to advise that Mr. Salazar's blog, "The Rifleman's Journal" has been taken down! My understanding is that he underwent shoulder surgery. After the surgery, he took up other items & took down his blog. If you made copies of some of his articles, hang on to them! Also, my understanding is that when approached by other shooters who wished to continue his blog, he politely refused. I gained much valuable information from his articles! I wish him well in the new endeavors, whatever they may be!

You're late to the party.

Try the wayback machine on the internet archives. You'd be surprised what you can find that is supposedly "gone"

(You're late to the party)??
Better late than never.

Mr. Salazar is the most talked about guy in shooting sports that's not in shooting sports!

Do you suppose that this was done for liability reasons?

 

[CJ6]

I think he had his reasons and that's good enough.

So curiosity is a bad thing now?

No , But inferring is IMHO.

His information proved excellent many a time to many shooters. There are others on this Forum that have done the same, and I thank you all for your time, effort, and diligence in doing so.

Yeah me too Don. I was 29 before i started looking for the old gray guys. The ones that did it early and often and kept good notes and/or had good memories. A bunch of them helped a late starter like me catch up (a little bit). I appreciate them more than I can ever say.

Went to a match and he was there. He didn't have to help me or lend an ear. It was nice to shoot with a shooter! Shoulder surgery...I'm in that same condition now, just 3 months in. Hope he's back in the game when I return

Good Luck with the surgery.

I have found a web archive that has cached all the articles written by Germán A. Salazar on his blog The Rifleman’s Journal. Not sure how long it will exist so worth saving each article as a .pdf file for future reference. Such a rich source of information should be preserved by every shooter. Obviously, the content is Germán’s personal property so out of respect for the man you should not reproduce any of it.

Once viewing an article the menu on the right of the page works to access the other months and content within that year. They do not work for other years.

To save an article as a .pdf file on your hard drive first close the timeline banner at the top of the article (otherwise it repeats itself on each pdf page and blocks out a lot of the content). Then press Ctrl+P to open your printer window. From the drop-down printer selection menu select .pdf file. You only need to do this the first time then it will default to .pdf the next time you pull up the print window. Then click save and the rest is self-explanatory.

Thanks Germán for doing our sport such a great service and may the next chapter of your life bring you much joy. I hope your shoulder is enjoying the rest.
