“Get Connected” with AccurateShooter.com on Facebook
As more competitive shooting organizations (such as the U.S. F-TR Team) and manufacturers (such as Berger Bullets), turn to social media to distribute news and information, Facebook has become a much more valuable resource for shooters. Match reports (and photos) often appear first on Facebook, and many vendors post exclusive discount offers for their Facebook “friends”. AccurateShooter has an active Facebook page, and we are close to reaching 7000 “Likes”. Will you help us reach the 7000 mark?
UPDATE: Thanks Facebook Fans! We now have 6816 Likes (and counting!).

I don’t know why companies and discussion forums use Facebook. It’s full of unrelated content and the discussions are disjointed. It’s fine for personal or family use but it’s too busy with junk for business or forum type discussions. I wish they would not use social media just to be in with the ‘with it’ crowd. It may be a cheaper way to post info but it’s very inefficient.
Editor: The reason we have a Facebook presence is to serve our audience. Some days as much as 20% of total Daily Bulletin traffic comes in from our Facebook friends. You can tailor your feed to focus on your key interests. We also now get numerous story leads from Facebook. Often we find match information on Facebook days before it is released elsewhere. Facebook has its shortcomings, but we can see by the numbers that thousands of our readers use Facebook regularly.
And you can pretty well believe that FB has no love for us or our sport.
I don’t understand what ‘liking’ something achieves. Is there a pay out from targeted advertising for web traffic? Cost deferral on ISP bandwidth and disc storage? Or is it some misguided popularity contest perpetuated by insecure highschoolers with low self-esteem begging for socially-visible peer acceptance?
Once all 7.5 billion people casually take one second and “simply click the ‘Like'” icon, what then? Revel in the frivolous loss of a collective 238 man-years basking in communal appreciation? Seems like a bit of a waste of three lifetimes doesn’t it?
Editor: Quite simply, by “liking” a particular Facebook page, then the user indicates he wants to receive, from time to time, the stories and notices we post. These include notices of special sales, new product reviews, match reports and more. “Like” designates an interest in the subject matter.
Many users find that “liking” the Facebook pages of their favorite content sources actually saves them time. They get current topical info from multiple sources without having to bookmark a dozen sites or do multiple web searches. By doing this they essentially create a custom “feed” with current info, based on their preferences. For example, after this Editor “liked” the Sierra Bullets facebook page, I started getting timely stories about new products and ballistics info from Sierra. In turn I have been able to share some of that info with our Bulletin Readers.
I don’t do fakebook. I don’t like the corporate culture. I don’t like making an ultra lib even more rich so he can fund liberal causes.
