ROCK RAG RACK:

Forget about Vanity Fair, Spy and Sassy. The real magazine for the ‘90’s has got to be Ted Nugent’s World Bow-hunters, which makes its debut this month with the outspoken rock guitarist and his family--armed with bows and arrows--on the cover. Published monthly, the magaine features such literari chic as Nugent’s favorite Gonzo Bear Story, a reminiscence titled “That First Pronghorn” and the Gomer Award, a broadside against “left-slanted press” and “anti-hunting zealots,” which this month features a Nugent attack on People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (“You are a cruel bunch of liars,” Ted writes. “Get your fat (rear-end) out of the office . . . into the real world, not fantasy land.”) For our money, the best part of the magazine is the ads, which offer come-ons for bear camps (“Bear hunting is exciting and unpredictable. Be Prepared!”), Deer Bait, Scent Shield (“The Original Human Scent Eliminator”) and Ford Pickups. In an editorial introducing the magazine, Nugent explains that he only eats meat he kills himself, quotes from Genesis (“Take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow and go out to the field and take me some venison”) and promises that the magazine will keep readers posted on hunting equipment while also “monitoring the liberals’ sneaky, deceitful maneuvers.”
