Many sites and search providers have changed their tactics in an unfair manner and we are no longer on an even playing field.

Example: If your at a non gun site and a Brownells or Cabelas advertisement pops up they saw your cookie from a legit site like ours and bumped our cookie with theirs.

Whenever possible and all things being equal please visit and utilize our sponsors and advertisers through the links on this site.

Thank you!

I will do that!!! Thanks!!!

Here's a bulleted list of how members can help.

1. All things being equal buy from our advertisers. But key to that is using the links here to visit the advertisers site. This ensures we get credit for the traffic and clicks.
2. Spread the word to increase member numbers (don't spam though) Membership is everything to potential advertisers and sponsors.
3. Spread the word to manufacturers, builders and stores - If you have dialog with someone about something you saw here make sure they are aware of this site and forum.
4.Reviews and articles - Detailed articles and reviews that I can use at the main site or any of my sites are extremely helpful. Content is king. Search engines like unique content.
5. Google "Starred Results" - If during a Google search this site shows up click the star. See the attachment below. This will also help your site searches here through Google.

I will add more later.

Additionally if somebody has a skill that would be helpful to the site I'm always looking for help and open to suggestions.

I'll try...

What's the current font that you used on what we have now? I've got a buddy that'll just about have anything you'll need - he's got 53,000 fonts for his printing business.

How can you not recognize the "Stencil" font

btw a png or gif with a transparent background would eliminate the black box

Man, I knew it looked like stencils, but in today's world the kid that came up with it might have named it Times New Goober, or something equally senseless...

Bump for line #5 of original post

Unlike most other sites we allow the posting of any retailer link (except for a few we dont recomend and have banned).
This site operates solely on revenue from sponsors/advertisers and my pocket. We ask no financial support from members.

Lately there has been a lot of posts with the best deals on this or this or that and many times is less expensive then what our spnosors or advertisers offer.

Please keep in mind that often these other retailers do not put anything back in to the shooting sport whether it be sponsoring matches, charity functions or sites like this.

As I have stated numerous times, support those that support us when possible and financially reasonable to do so.

Thanks!!

I try and order from Brownells whenever I can by going through this website.

I wish these websites would simply enable an entry on the check out screen (maybe a drop down list) to signify which website we hail from. Would make it a hell of a lot easier than the current setup.

With this setup (referring to how referral links work, not this website specifically) its easy to go to a sponsors website, order, and then realize "Bloops, forgot to access through the website".
