Sports Afield was founded in 1887 by Claude King…. as a hunting and fishing magazine….as it is the oldest continuously published outdoor magazine in North America….with a first issue that was eight pages in entirety….hitting the newstands in January 1888….which was printed on newspaper stock and published in Denver, Colorado.
Initially only a magazine, Sports Afield started applying its name on branded products after WW II. This program expanded in the 21st century, and the Sports Afield Brand is now available on dozens of products and services such as camping equipment, clothing, interior decorations, cutlery, security safes, log cabins and real-estate marketing.
