Dangers Of Breathing Barbeque Smoke

A year hunting guns network: prospects and retrospect


was exactly a year ago established the network as hunting guns project a small group of hunters. Our intention was to link hunters and other lawful gun owners to each other, make reference to specific policy issues in hunting and firearms legislation, perform actions within the meaning of hunting and legal weapons possession and for all interested parties an easily accessible alternative public make - first off the combined politically bound or business-oriented magazines and second off the mainstream media, show the best little understanding of hunting and legal weapons law matters and at worst misleading information . operate The one-year anniversary is not a cause for celebration, but one for a brief review and outlook.
the vast majority of texts we have written and discussed. We also have regular articles from guest authors published (eg by friendly foreign shooters or hunters), less individual contributions by experts or stakeholders, we have discussed. In the 12 months we have published 132 articles (we do not short "posts" on issues, but longer and more self-contained articles - not so much a newspaper, and more resemble a magazine). On average, there is a month 7-8 new posts. Recently we have started to add editorial notes to the articles and explain as to why we think this story is important.
The resume is one year later positive. We have 20,000 visitors (different people) in those 12 months approached, who all together 45,000 pages viewed. Finally, we have over a hundred visitors a day reliably (a ranking of the most popular texts, see below).
We are now mainly found on search engines (57%) and then recommend other sites or in forums (34%). Less people control regularly and directly to our site (9%). Because we want to work. One of the reasons is that you do not know when something new has been set. This is a proposal: Become a "friend" from us on Facebook . Then you can on a daily What we see - have not posted new - in addition to their other friends. And we can more easily than through the e-mail address jagdwaffennetzwerk@web.de correspond with each other. Finally we get to our concerns here represented more visibility.
;
your three favorite topics
A direct comparison is difficult because the articles published in different lengths and therefore unreachable.
Heckler & Koch G36 and SL8
Remington 700: Not just a cheap classic
Mauser M03 extremes: Field tested

Our three most popular topics
are in connection with the reason for the creation of hunting weapons network, the three topics that we were most important (in addition to the personal hunting reports, of course):
fighters and weapons law, silence is consent
Scientific facts to legal gun ownership
Legal gun ownership and Homeland Security

Occasionally we have also a theme other texts published, as such, about hunting or guns or gun laws, even when weapons and weapon law topics read most and recommended. With contributions to the military and armed conflicts, we have partially won new readers. This is good, hunting, and the legal gun ownership need every friend they can get, no matter whether it re-enactment interest, he or she collects knives, fishing trips or just a boyfriend / girlfriend of "the great outdoor "is. Maybe even get a new one or the other or first access to legal hunting and gun ownership.
Less interesting are niche topics such as those on African issues the information war or self defense. Although important for us to always think of the reader, but we do like the long term, so to speak, our mission statement, a comprehensive, if also bring accented overview of hunting weapons and selected military topics and orient us as to reasonably content that could stand around in the dwj, the great mother ship of weapons reports. Therefore also appear in future such issues, but not in the foreground, but rather in its niche.
;
Unlike traditional media, we want to do when it is necessary to search also focused on conflict, for example, with manufacturers such as Anscombe and Armatix, that in itself important and respected institutions such as the national hunting associations (if needed) and also with authorities ( think of our refreshing correspondence with the authorities in Munich or the Press). We have been working on other networks and are required to use it as soon as good as it goes, that is, encourage others to jointly take up a particular topic - for example, if someone comes back to reclaim the idea of something similar to a weapons control.
;

What do we improve? We want to attract more readers. That is clear. The aims of each. But why do that? We just want to be powerful weapons in the right-hunting or political actions. And since it makes the other person make a difference, whether as a day have 10 or 100 or 200 readers. Please advise us why your friends and acquaintances. And Comment. Also critical comments are welcome. Only in three cases, we have not enabled comments (two times was a party, say, accused of crimes and once seemed inappropriate choice of words in connection with a crime). Apart from the visibility of this page and the risk of deliberate provocation (the motto "Let's see how articulate the hunter / Legal gun owners are"), we also want to show even a minimum of respect towards opponents of the content. Just when Waffen-/Jagdgegner do not want to talk instead of street protests and arguments may be.
;
We want to continue to report and bring subjects from among our readers. So, where to stay, the black powder shooters, the shooters and the CO2-IPSC-athletes. Tell us what makes your sport? However, you must be active even if you are uncomfortable. We want this, we do not "shine healthy smattering" of unknown topics with.

What we have before?
Let us shortly depth discussion of the topic "Illegal arms " and at this point to ask each reference and all the support you are able , specifically: Notes on Facts and figures about illegal weapons in Germany and their abuse.
And let's look at the intentions and ideas of minority government in North Rhine-Westphalia in relation to the hunting rights detail. this is important not only for hunters from this state, but here in particular the Greens want a signal for the entire Federal Republic emit and because they claim since the dismemberment of a federal hunting law "competition" for the better right to hunt, ideologically motivated cuts in the few remaining freedoms, the hunter will be in fact nationally relevant.
But let us take care of in alernächster time also a new small-caliber rifle from CZ to the cartridge .17 HMR and it is also a satire on "The Green" in preparation (Why offer just as good for something to?). Other topics have to do something, of course, with your help and your suggestions.
In this sense, good hunting and best wishes!
