GunZoo Version 3.0 Launches Today

GunZoo

JACKSONVILLE, FL --(Ammoland.com)- GunZoo is proud to announce their first release of 2012, which includes the launch of their Gun Shops & FFL search.

The features described below are in addition to GunZoo’s already robust set of features, which includes the ability to search and compare guns, read the latest industry news, and of course maintain and share a collection of firearms.

Gun Shops
Do you need to find a gun shop in your area to check out the latest equipment in person, or do you need an FFL to complete a transfer for a firearm you’ve purchased online?

It can be tough to track down information using Internet search engines. Results can be outdated or mixed in with irrelevant results. GunZoo’s first release of Gun Shops allows users to find gun shops in their area with a fast and focused search.

Results are displayed in a list and plotted on a map. Clicking on any shop will take the user to a details page where they’ll see the shop address, phone number and a detailed map showing the shop’s location. Enter your address and the tool will even generate driving directions.

I Own It
One of the easiest ways to add a gun to a GunZoo GunVault is to use the advanced gun search. From the gun details page, users may add it to their GunVault by clicking “I Own It”. From there the user can enter information about how they use the gun. This will help other users with similar interests find out what others are shooting. In this release, a “Save and Customize” button has been added to the usage window that will take the user directly to the latest addition to their GunVault. From there the user may upload their own picture, tag it with their modifications and write a detailed description of the gun. One in a user’s GunVault, other GunZoo users can “like” the gun, ask questions, or rain down compliments through comments.

GunZoo Version 3.0 Launches Today

Once created, a GunVault can be easily shared on any forum, over email or on Facebook.

Show All Likes on GunVault

GunZoo users are able to view thousands of personally owned and modified firearms loaded by their users in their GunVaults. Viewing users can offer the owner a virtual pat on the back for having a great looking gun by clicking “like” on that user’s profile. A tab has been added to the GunVault profile that will now show the number of likes a gun has, along with who likes it. This is a great way to find other users with similar interests.

Senator Frank R. Lautenberg (D) NJ facebook page the target of frustrated constituents.

AmmoLand Gun News

Manasquan, NJ --(Ammoland.com)- It seems that the speed and reach of social media is biting the 87 year old anti gun Senator on, shall we say .. the rear.

Lautenberg’s Facebook page is filled with 100′s of Wall post from Facebook members complaining about everything from the Senators lack of reply to constituents request for meetings and information, to his support for New York chronie Mayor Bloomberg and his gunban front group Mayors Against Illegal Guns, to folks questioning how he stays true to his Oath of Office and the Constitution in the face of his repeated attacks on the Second Amendment.

Lautenberg, an unabashed supporter of more gun control, seems to have sprung a leak on his stodgy image as a man of the people and we would venture to guess that the intern that is assigned to edit the Senator’s Facebook Wall is likely to get a tongue lashing from the Aging Senator’s staff as they go back and delete the many frank posts calling the Senator to the carpet.

Lautenberg’s home state of New Jersey is behind the front lines of the battle against State Sponsored attacks on Gun Rights and NJ is about to face many challenges as it tries to wriggle its way through multiple Lawsuits over Gun Owner Rights and Concealed Carry.

Other headaches on the horizon for NJ could include the HR822 – National CHL Reciprocity, a bill that would end up allowing out of state concealed carry license holders to roam the streets of NJ while state residents are denied any form of Concealed Carry Permits.

Maybe you agree or disagree with the Senator, if so why not join in and speak your mind before the PC police show up and clean house.  Visit: Senator Frank R. Lautenberg Facebook Page

GunZoo Announces New Online Tools For Gun Enthusiasts

GunZoo

JACKSONVILLE, FL --(Ammoland.com)- Have you ever been asked, or asked of someone, “what guns do you shoot?” or “how do you like that optic?”

Today GunZoo (www.gunzoo.com) pulled back the curtain on a major release that will help shooters of all levels ask and answer these questions.

The GunZoo GunVault Sets a New Standard for Online Sharing

Shooters have long loved posting pictures of their most celebrated possessions online. In every forum there are threads dedicated to pictures of members’ guns.

The release of GunZoo’s GunVault makes this practice easier and more informative than ever. Features of GunVault include:

GunZoo’s GunVault lets users provide a detailed listing with descriptions of their modifications and link them to their image.

• Free image upload & hosting
• Tag and provide detailed descriptions of modifications and unique features
• Add a detailed description of the gun that tells its story
• Select uses (competition, duty, home defense and more)
• Comment on other users’ guns
• Manufacturer model information is automatically linked
• View the GunVaults of other users either through their profile or any of the thousands of gun profiles within GunZoo

GunZoo's GunVault lets users provide a detailed listing with descriptions of their modifications and link them to their image.

The created profile is given a dedicated URL (link) that can be shared on any forum, through email, on Facebook, or anywhere else a user can imagine.

“We believe that GunZoo’s GunVault will greatly enhance the way shooters share information about their firearms on the Internet,” said Brian Bigelow, Co-Founder of GunZoo.

“I’ve always been very interested in the story behind every gun; why the owner bought it, if it was their first gun, why they chose this model over that model and what modifications, if any, they’ve made. Now this is easier to share than ever.”

Mac MacDonald, Co-Founder of GunZoo, had this to say about GunVault, “Numerous times on forums I’ve wanted an easy way to share my collection that I’ve worked so hard to build. And, let’s be honest, uploading images on forums is no easy task. It’s repetitive; meaning I have to upload my collection on each forum. With GunZoo GunVault I can share one link across all forums I’m a member of allowing others to easily see my prized collection.”

GunZoo invites you to create an account at www.gunzoo.com and set up your GunVault today!

Social Networking & New Media for the Second Amendment

NRA - ILA

Pittsburgh, PA --(Ammoland.com)- The value of internet social networking and new media has exploded in recent years as more and more NRA members and gun owners are now using Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.

These online communities foster an important connection between their users, and allow distribution of user-generated content (like pictures, profiles, music, video, and text).

NRA-ILA has been a part of this social technology for some time now, with a presence on each of these sites. By actively participating in these new media venues, we are able to reach out to more potential members and supporters than ever before.

And now more than ever, politicians are also taking full advantage of these new political techniques in an effort to drum up more youth support heading into the 2012 elections.

Newt Gingrich tweeted from NRA’s 140th Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Pittsburgh: “What’s better than a royal wedding in London? Attending the @NRA Convention in Pittsburgh. I speak at 1:15 p.m.”

The current king of online social networking is Facebook. If you are not an NRA Facebook “fan” of NRA, please do what more than 1 million supporters have already done and join our Facebook group, “National Rifle Association of America (NRA) – Official Fan Page” at www.facebook.com/pages/Fairfax-VA/National-Rifle-Association/22561081832.

YouTube is the current leader in online video sharing, where users can upload and share video clips on the website. Many political campaigns are also producing videos exclusively for YouTube, as it is essentially free to broadcast on the web compared to the exorbitant cost of traditional media buys.

NRA has its very own channel on YouTube, broadcasting videos, speeches, and all our latest ads. To view the NRA Channel on YouTube, please visit: www.youtube.com/user/NRAVideos.

Finally, Twitter is the latest social phenomenon on which NRA-ILA has an ongoing presence. Twitter is a micro-blogging service that allows users to send regular, real-time text updates (known as “tweets”) to “followers” who have subscribed to them. To sign up to receive NRA-ILA “tweets,” please visit www.twitter.com/NRAILA.

If we are going to actively reach and recruit the future leaders of the pro-gun movement, we must take full advantage of these online social networking resources. By launching our profiles on these sites, the torch has been lit for the next generation, so please be sure to help us in promoting NRA and the Second Amendment by joining us on Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter!

About:
Established in 1871, the National Rifle Association is America’s oldest civil rights and sportsmen’s group. Four million members strong, NRA continues its mission to uphold Second Amendment rights and to advocate enforcement of existing laws against violent offenders to reduce crime. The Association remains the nation’s leader in firearm education and training for law-abiding gun owners, law enforcement and the military. Visit: www.nra.org

Southwick Associates

FERNANDINA BEACH, Fla. –(Ammoland.com)- Magazines are still the media source of choice for hunters and anglers, according to the June 2010 HunterSurvey.com and AnglerSurvey.com polls, which showed 44 percent of hunters and 33 percent of anglers use magazines most for information and entertainment.

The second most important media source for anglers are websites, with 25 percent indicating they use websites as a primary source of information. Television is still a mainstay for hunters with more than 15 percent reporting they rely most on television for information and entertainment.

Only 15 percent of hunters said they use websites the most to learn about hunting or to be entertained. E-mail was cited as a principal source of information by more than five percent of anglers and hunters while state wildlife agency websites were the most important media source for four percent of hunters and 3 percent of anglers.

Although social media use (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) is burgeoning for many audiences, its use by anglers and hunters remains low. Lumped in with books, newsletters, newspapers, and radio it makes up the smallest percentage of usage. However, four percent of hunters and more than five percent of anglers indicated they used all available media sources for learning and entertainment, which shows the large potential for growth in the social media arena. Companies that want to take advantage of the online opportunities should keep an open mind when developing campaigns.

“With hunters and anglers using such a wide range of media sources for learning and entertainment, agencies, organizations and businesses should consider adding new media to their traditional outreach platforms to ensure their messages are getting out there. Hunters and anglers do not rely on just one source. Multiple information sources work together to help shape their interests and opinions,” said Rob Southwick, president of Southwick Associates.

Friends of NRA

FAIRFAX, Va. –-(Ammoland.com)- The Central Adirondack Friends of NRA committee in Hoffmeister, New York, are the winners of a Friends of NRA Facebook contest.

Held with the intention of getting more volunteers and supporters involved with Friends of NRA on social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter, the contest saw nearly 70 Friends of NRA committees participate.

“Utilizing social networks is a great way to quickly and easily coordinate events,” said Jeremy Greene, Event Services Manager.

“With contests like this, Friends of NRA hopes to introduce its supporters to the advantages of these services.”

The rules of the contest were simple: “Like” the Friends of NRA Facebook Fan Page and make a post stating which committee you belong to. At the end of the week, the committee with the most posts would be declared the winner.

For having the most posts, the Central Adirondack Friends of NRA received a Special Edition Dick Kirby Turkey Call, 1 of 250, to auction off at their upcoming banquet. Committee member Paul Shaw was the critical element in its win, mobilizing friends and supporters to participate.

“He is such a motivated volunteer, the spark plug of the committee,” said Jay Rusnock, NRA Field Representative for Upper New York. “If anyone could win this competition it would be him.”

Shaw is no stranger to making his committee run smoother with technology.

“When we started the committee in 2004 we were sending out invitations by mail. We realized we were wasting a lot of money and time so we started collecting names and utilizing a database,” he said. “We use the Internet and emails to get our word out and we’ve been very successful. You have to seize the power of the Internet.”

Friends of NRA is a grassroots fund-raising program that fosters community involvement, raises money, and gives 100% of the net proceeds to qualified local, state, and national programs. Working with the NRA’s field staff, thousands of volunteers nationwide participate in the program by organizing committees and planning events in their communities.

Central Adirondack’s Friends of NRA banquet will take place September 18, 2010, at the Morehouse Recreation Center in Hoffmeister, New York at 5:30 PM. For more information contact Dave Knapp at (518) 548-8550 or dbkpiseco@yahoo.com.

US Sportsmens Alliance Twitter Page

U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance

Columbus, OH --(Ammoland.com)- I don’t know about you, but I have to watch the Wizard of Oz with my daughter several times each year.  In fact, it seems like I always have the song, “Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!” swirling around my head.

As I was thinking about e-mail, Facebook, YouTube, texting, blogs, forums and Twitter, a similar tune popped in my head –   “E-mail, Facebook and Twitter…Oh My!”

I know, it’s silly and I know that all of you rough and tough outdoor guys are going to laugh a little (or maybe a lot), about me watching the Wizard of Oz!  Come on, haven’t YOU ever had to watch it with your kids?  I promise I watch John Wayne and Clint Eastwood movies too…

Anyway, who on earth knows what all these funky so-called “social media” things are?

Well, simply put, these are new communications tools helping us all keep up with family, friends and even co-workers.  In a way, they are almost like a “virtual sportsmen’s club.”

It seems like just yesterday folks were joining a sportsmen’s club to have place to shoot, meet up with other hunters, anglers and shooters to talk about what you did in the field.  Some of the best memories come from shooting the breeze with good friends and talking about the “one that got away” or that impossible shot you pulled off. You could walk in the clubhouse and there would be a pot of coffee brewing, deer heads on the wall, the American flag in the corner and you’d recite the “Pledge of Allegiance” before the meeting.

Of course, this is still what a lot of us do.  Nothing will ever take the place of good, old fashion face to face time at a local sportsmen’s haunt.

Social Media Connecting More Sportsmen
But, social media is providing us with another way to talk to each other.

Think about it, they are now making it easier than ever to post your deer picture or the video showing how hard you fought that Largemouth Bass on YouTube.  Your friends, even the guys you met last year on that hunting trip out west, can comment on it.  You can also e-mail the pictures to tons of friends from around the country or even text your buddy sitting in that duck blind a few hundred yards away to check up on how his day’s going.

While the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance is still pretty “old school” on a lot of things (phone calls and personal letters still count in our book), we’re also working hard to get into this new world.

We have a Facebook page, a Twitter page, a YouTube page and a CamoSpace page.  Also, one of our biggest efforts to date is the Sentry Program that through email gives you access to important information on how to protect your hunting, fishing and trapping rights.  It also lets you easily pass it all on to lots of others.

We have a Sentry website that’s a one stop shop for things like hunting regulations, maps and weather. There’s contests running now and then and has a place to pin up your photos. Like I said, it’s kind of like a “virtual sportsman club” and its all yours at NO COST. Just need to give us a name, email, zip and phone number at www.ussportsmen.org/beasentry.

Get involved with the group that’s keeping it legal for everyone and check us out at all of our social sites.   Be a part of our virtual sportsman club today!

Columbus, OH --(Ammoland.com)- The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance is already plugged into to social networking like Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and CamoSpace.

Now, with this video, the U.S Sportsmen’s Alliance is unveiling yet another way to get our message out to America’s hunting, fishing and trapping community.

This video is the first using our new in house equipment and we are excited about the chance to connect directly with all of America’s sportsmen and women and look forward to hearing back from the people who count most in our world – sportsmen and sportswomen.

U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance

Columbus, OH --(Ammoland.com)- Editor’s Note: According to a recent online survey conducted by AnglerSurvey.com and HunterSurvey.com, 64 percent of hunters and anglers report they are not using social networking sites, like blogs, Facebook, Twitter and MySpace to obtain outdoor information.

While these numbers may be slightly different depending on the polls and surveys taken, there is one clear thing to take away from this, the outdoor sports community should have a more active role in the new media environment in order to share experiences and fight back against the loud voices of the anti-hunting/animal rights community.

This week on USSA’s Bullseye Blog is a guest blog, written by blogging expert and executive business coach Barbara C., and will help explain how through blogging, you can get more involved in sharing your passion for the outdoors with friends, family and those that may not know much about our outdoor heritage.

Did you know there’s an easy and fun way to protect your sportsmen’s rights without ever leaving the comfort of home or taking too much time away from the field?

I’m talking about blogging.

For anyone unfamiliar, the term “blog” is short for the term “weblog”. But blogs aren’t just “kidstuff” anymore and have exploded in a big way with almost everyone using them. Blogs are simply a short story mirroring an editorial about a subject that can be sent out quickly to the masses. There are personal blogs, business blogs, celebrity blogs, and even outdoor news sites like AmmoLand Shooting Sports News.

The Anti's are Blogging are You?

Blogs are popular for many reasons: they’re fun, easy to create and can be easily personalized. They give anyone with the right background the chance to be an authority on the web.

They can also help you protect your rights and traditions by giving you a chance to make an impact on how the public, the press – and even politicians view sportsmen’s issues.

The secret is that blogs run on a technology called RSS, which stands for Really Simple Syndication. Simply put, whenever you post content on your blog, it can be indexed in Google or other online search engines almost INSTANTLY.

That means that you have the power to instantly publish content directly onto the web, which can be seen by millions of people – including members of the public, the press and politicians.

And on any given day, when those people perform a Google search for “hunting”, fishing” or “antis” – your blog makes your opinion visible – which means your voice can make the difference on any given day.

Can a simple blog translate into political power? YES!

Politicians and pundits check the “blog-o-sphere” daily for the pulse of the people – meaning you.

Blogs are easily the most powerful tool in the fight to protect your rights and those of your fellow sportsmen and women – and it’s as easy as typing.

Which brings us to our next question – are you blogging yet?

As a member of the USSA, you can help simply by blogging! Help us help you! Take our Sportsmen’s Blog Survey & tell us what you think! Click here! (Be sure and mention AmmoLand Shooting Sports News)

And stay tuned to USSA for more helpful and exciting blog ideas and information. Also stay tuned for future stories that will connect you to all the info you need to get started with your own blog.

“At Hunter Ridge Ranch, we offer a unique, first-class experience for hunting and fishing, breathtaking scenery and a personalized approach to customer service that is more on par with a five-star resort than it is to most hunting lodges,” says Oscar Hunter, owner and founder of Hunter Ridge Ranch.

“We know our facility has been a somewhat of a secret — and the truth is many of our customers want to keep it that way — but we’re ready to spread the word now, and Meng & Associates will help us to communicate how the Hunter Ridge experience goes above and beyond the typical hunting trip.”

Specializing in brand building and public relations, Meng & Associates is a full-service marketing firm that has built strong relationships in the outdoors industry. Meng & Associates also founded The Hunting Wire (www.TheHuntingWire.com), the industry’s only online news service entirely dedicated to hunting and hunting-related businesses.

“We are very excited about working with Hunter Ridge Ranch,” said John Meng, president of Meng & Associates. “The ranch and the lodge are beautiful and the deer are absolutely huge. For most hunting facilities, those two benefits are enough for success, but Oscar goes the extra mile providing personalized service that is second to none.”

Nestled deep in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri, Hunter Ridge Ranch features a 1,000-acre reserve and 2,000 acres of free-range property which is home to some of the largest whitetail trophy deer in the world, plus magnificent elk, red stag, buffalo and fallow deer. Hunter Ridge Ranch also provides fishing in Lake Niangua full of bass, crappie, catfish and blue gill, along with pristine conditions for excellent duck and turkey hunting. Above all, Hunter Ridge Ranch fully caters to its guests’ individual needs to make their visit a truly memorable experience.
