They are the same size as before.
Get them while you can.
I don't know if there will be one next year. It turns out that they do sell, just despite having a markup built into the price, they are not profitable.
To quote Graybeard, "We haven't gotten a red cent from them in the past two years."
To further paraphrase Graybeard, The company that prints them charges a quarterly fee, just to offer them for sale with the other GBO merchandise. The only thing that ever sells is the calendars. There isn't enough calendar sales cover the fees so the Company never send a check.
Graybeard also said, "One of the members on the H&R Centerfire Rifle Forum did a calendar this year thru someone else and he bought some quantity of them himself and when he sells them if he sells all he bought I think he said there would be some funds to donate."
"... no the Cannon calendar does not generate any revenue for the site."
Here is a quote from the H&R Calendar post. Not he had to have an order of 100 calendars to make it work. I don't think we ever sold more than 10 or 15.
Tim, please feel free to put this wherever you feel it needs to go.
OK boys.
Here is your chance to own a 2012 calendar of H&R/NEF Long Guns that is owned by some of our very own GBO members.
These will be in full color with a brief description of the gun and feature the members GBO screen name.
They will be on card stock measuring 8.5"x11" with a 1/2" white border around each photo.
Each month will have the major holidays on them and be in standard black & white.
The calendar will be in two sections joined by a black spiral binding that will allow it to fold completely over and still lay flat.
It will feature a color cover protected by a sheet of clear plastic.
The photos to be used will be voted on by you, the members very soon.
We are working on a very shot time frame in order to get these out for the coming year.
The cost will be $12.00 each shipped to any of the lower 48 states.
Out of this at least $2.00 will go to GBO to help maintain the site we all use and love so much!
In the case of multiple sales of three (3) or more, where shipping can be combined then the extra money will also go to GBO.
An extra .50 cents each shipping charge will be added for orders to Alaska, Hawaii, Canada & Mexico.
International shipping runs an additional $3.00 each.
We need to sale at least 100 or more calendars to be able to get them done at this price.
We are off to a good start with about twenty some spoken for so far.
In order to speed this along I am going to pay for these myself at the time of placing the order.
I will deduct the total cost and send the rest to Matt for GBO.
I think these would make a nice addition to any gun lovers collection or be a great CHRISTMAS gift.
You will be helping to support GBO at the same time!
Let's start getting those orders in.
You can send a Money Order or Bank check to me at the following:

I am no longer a moderator for this forum, so I do not feel an incentive for doing this any longer. I doubt given the no profit angle any of the current Moderators want to step up either, and I wouldn't blame them.
