America’s Fastest Growing Outdoors Publication, Hook & Barrel Magazine, Triples Distribution with Much Anticipated Cover – Johnny Joey Jones. In Short: Hook & Barrel Magazine® features Johnny Joey Jones, FOX News contributor, Author, Former Marine, and outdoorsman, on the cover of its November / December 2023 issue as the publication triples distribution points across America. The Story: Hook & Barrel Magazine® is proud to release its November / December issue and its official national expansion into 60 additional points of distribution with the announcement of the FOX News contributor, Author, Former Marine, and outdoorsman, Johnny Joey Jones. “I am beyond proud to have Joey on the cover”, Founder and Editor-in-Chief, John J. Radzwilla says. “Not only is this a big issue for us given the planned expansion of our brand, but also it falls during the Veterans Day timeframe as well as of course, the holidays. I don’t admit to crying much as a man, but the National Anthem gets me every time, and if not for men and women like Joey, who sacrificed so much for our great nation, we wouldn’t be able to do what we do over here at Hook & Barrel Magazine®. Our military members protect the American Dream and myself, my family, and my team, are shining examples of exactly what that dream is – the freedom and ability to be anything we want to be in life, to earn an honest living of our choosing, in a nation that protects our rights to free speech as media and also in our case as outdoorsmen, our right to bear arms. They signed a blank check, up to and including their lives, so we can have those rights (and much more), and for that, we at Hook & Barrel Magazine®, are forever grateful.” Also in the issue, readers will find feature articles on American Olympian and Triple Gold Medalist, Vincent Hancock, TV host and cookbook author, Stacy Lyn Harris, an exclusive interview with rising Nashville country music star, Larry Fleet, a behind the scenes opportunity to learn about whitetail legends, the Drury family, food and drink sections with a Christmas twist, a much-anticipated Christmas gift guide, and much more. Readers can expect to find the issue beginning November 1^st in Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s in select states as well as their favorite independent outdoor retailers across America. Issues are also available online and by subscription at www.hookandbarrel.com.

About Johnny Joey Jones   Enduring two combat deployments and eight years of active service in the Marine Corps, Staff Sergeant Johnny Joey Jones suffered a life-changing injury while deployed in Afghanistan as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD/Bomb) technician. The 2010 IED-related incident resulted in the loss of both of his legs above the knee and severe damage to his right forearm and both wrists. Since his recovery, Jones has dedicated his work towards improving the lives of all veterans and their families. Today, Jones still serves the veteran community while also acting as a contributor across all FOX News media platforms, including FOX News Channel and FOX Business Network, also serving as a fill-in host for many of the most popular shows. Additionally, he hosts FOX Nation Outdoors on the network’s digital streaming service, FOX Nation. In 2020, Jones celebrated the 10^th anniversary of his “Alive Day” – paying tribute to the day he lost his legs but gained his new life. The milestone was made into a FOX Nation special. His perspective: “I’m mentally stronger, more resilient and more grateful than I might have ever been had I not endured this fate.” In discussing the inspiration behind his first book, Unbroken Bonds, Jones has said - “For years people have asked me to write a book about ‘my story.’ However, I’ve always known all along that the most important part of my story is the amazing collection of people and warriors who’ve become a part of my life. Each of them with inspiring and heroic stories of their own. It’s fitting that my first book is a telling of their stories, how they’ve affected my life and how their experience in serving this country shows the need for bonds on and beyond the battlefield. Unbroken Bonds is a book for, by and of patriotic Americans and what it truly means to be your brothers’ keeper.” Hook & Barrel Magazine® contact: John J.
