Happy New Year 2021 and Message to Our Readers Worldwide
Happy New Year to all our readers worldwide, and especially the 54,000+ members of our AccurateShooter Forum. We hope 2021 brings you happiness in your lives and success in your endeavors. We wish for small groups, high scores, and successful hunts in the New Year. And, yes, we wish for mankind’s victory over COVID-19, so we can return to our normal lives, before all the lock-downs and cancelled events.
UPGRADE to SILVER ($25/Year) | UPGRADE to GOLD ($50/Year)
Looking Forward to 2021
Every year we work to improve AccurateShooter.com. This fall, in October 2020, we upgraded the Forum to Xenforo Version 2.X, making the Forum faster, much more secure, and more mobile-friendly. In 2019 we added more security measures, expanded our popular Deals of the Week, and commenced our first-ever exclusive Promos for Gold and Silver members. In 2018 we started vetting every new sign-up to block scammers. We hope you’ll continue to enjoy our feature articles, our Deals of the Week, our match reports, and our Forum Classifieds. The formula seems to be working — our audience is bigger than ever, with membership growing faster than ever.
Forum Membership Increased 12.3% in 2020
Our Shooters’ Forum grew significantly in 2020. Total registered membership grew by 12.3% as Forum ranks swelled to 54,115 members! More people are successfully buying and selling through our Forum Classifieds services than ever before. Silver and Gold members get unlimited Classifieds for 12 months. Gold members also get custom Avatars and other privileges.
We need your support. For 17 years the site has relied largely on volunteer efforts. But as the site grows, we need the assistance of Forum moderators, product testers, web gurus, and computer software experts. Those guys don’t work for glory alone.
Consider this — you might pay $25 for a single box of 9mm ammo these days. For the same twenty-five dollars you can become a Silver Forum member for an entire YEAR and help this site provide info, tests, tech tips, bargains, and shooting news.
And consider the benefits — Silver or Gold Members get unlimited classifieds for 12 months. If you were to sell just ONE $1500 rifle through Gunbroker.com, you would pay $58.75 in fees! That’s more than our Gold Membership — just to sell one single rifle.
In the last quarter of 2020 about 510 site users have donated or upgraded their Forum membership. That’s less than 1% of the membership. We thank all those who have generously contributed. But that still leaves tens of thousands of users who access the site every week without contributing. With more donations we can deliver more premium content and offer more services to our members.
