We recently cut the magazine by two issues in order to save $9,000 a year. Perhaps another option might be to expand back out to six issues per year which we had through 2003 and make two of them purely ezine issues. I think if someone went through the archives an "LSBA Classics" with say a good story of the month taken from prior years might be neat. Similarly but in terms of current articles, maybe there could be a bonus article section each month, along with last meetings minutes, the treasurer and other officer reports. That way you wouldn't have to wait from one EC meeting for as much as 6 months to know what was happening.
One problem with putting the magazine solely on line is that not all people even have internet, much less a fast internet. A second is those people who don't or won't join and would simply read or download off of the site. I've heard people who used to pick up a free magazine at a bow shop say why should I join, I get the magazine for free.
Still we could save about $18,000 per year by going solely on line. That would buy a lot of hunts for the membership, pay for a lot of kids bows, allow us to donate to bowhunter defense efforts around the country, etc.
