Editing Action Pursuit Games (section)

=== Establishment ===

The premiere edition of ''Action Pursuit Games'' was published as volume 1, number 1 in autumn 1987. It was produced by CFW Enterprises from Burbank, California, with Russell Maynard as editor and Dave Cater as associate editor.[1][2]

The first issue combined equipment, tactical and recreational coverage. Features discussed developments in paintball markers, firing techniques, camouflage clothing and introductory advice for new players. Regular sections included industry news, new products, playing fields and technical advice.[2] Although predominantly concerned with paintball, the premiere issue also contained a feature on laser tag.[2]

Advertisements from [[Pursuit Marketing Inc.]] and [[Tippmann]] appeared in the first issue. PMI promoted its Pursuit Pistol, while Tippmann advertised an early version of the [[Tippmann SMG-60]].[1]

The magazine was published monthly by 1988. Surviving mastheads show that the monthly schedule continued through the first half of the 1990s.[2] The Premiere Issue is marked as Fall 1987, however issues for October, November and December followed.
