The new SFA Drop Magazine.
I just got my SFA Drop magazine yesterday! There are many changes to it. IMO some of the changes are good and some not so good.
Among other things, I wonder if the changes to it will increase the cost, etc.
I just wondered what other SFA members here thought of the changes, etc.

The Drop
Got mine today. Can't help but to say I liked it.
I am sure the cost has increased. So has everything else.

Have yet to get mine. The preview on the SFA site looked to be an improvement.

If you guys go to the SFA website, I think there's a thread on it. The cost has NOT increased...it's actually cheaper, the paper it's printed on is a bit lighter (thinner).
I kinda like it, takes a bit to get used to.
The chap pres and such have noted a few disrepancies, but they should be taken care of before the next one...

I think the new drop is an overall improvement and the website changes that are coming are a good thing for the SFA.

Received mine a couple of days ago.
I liked the previous cover better...seemed more traditional.
I like the new "Taps" section.
Chapter news seems more difficult to navigate.
Over all colors and graphics are improved. Quite jazzy. Probably more appeal to the younger members.
Overall...I like it.
Anyone have comments on the Glock offer, inside the back cover?

I thought it looked a lot better.
My only complaint is that I like seeing the chapters in numerical order they are easier to navigate that way.

I think I like the new organization of the chapter newsletters by region.
If nothing else, if you go visiting it makes it easier to sort through the Chapters that might be on your line of movement.
D numbers are up to 8328 - and far too many names in the Taps section.

Yeah, I agree Chapter news seems more difficult to navigate; however, Regions are a good thing. Yes, the Obit page seemed to be longer then usual..

Mine showed up yesterday on the mail barge that ran aground on the North end of Flemming Key.
I like the new look,, with one exception,, THE PRINT IS TO SMALL FOR THIS OLD FOG..
I know,, add stronger reading glasses to the 2-do list, the next time we get off the rock and go to Wally-World..
A couple of the pictures were pointed out to me,,, They're even smaller than the text...
