In 1992–2009, it was published monthly. Since 2010, it is published every two months. The most important goals of the magazine were to propagate the riflemen ideology and to recruit new members. The content was varied as it did not restrict itself to only news for the riflemen or contributions from the riflemen. The magazine published local and international news, poetry, literature, articles on warfare, sports, culture, history. Marius Katiliškis published his stories in the magazine. Other contributors included Antanas Vienuolis and Janis Rainis. (en)
