How to Use Search Features
Take heart, readers. There are quick and easy ways to locate (and share) Daily Bulletin Posts. First, on the right side of the Bulletin you can select stories by topic (e.g. Reloading) or by date. You can also use our SEARCH TOOL. Go to the top right-hand corner of the page, type your search term then click the RED SEARCH BUTTON. This will instantly search over 5,000 Daily Bulletin stories. Matching articles will appear in chronological order, with the newest articles at the top. For best results, try to be pretty specific in your search, and avoid common terms such as “bullet”, “rifle”, “barrel” etc. that may appear in hundreds of articles.

How to Share Daily Bulletin Articles on Facebook, Twitter, and Other Sites
Let’s say you’ve found an interesting article or gear review in the Daily Bulletin that you would like to share on your Facebook page or other social media sites. Or maybe you’d like to email the article URL (web address) to a shooting buddy so he could read the story too. It’s easy to share a story. Simply click on the small RED-ORANGE BOX at the end of the article marked “Share”. This will open up a small window with multiple choices. With your mouse, select “Facebook” to share on your Facebook page. Or, click the “email” or “gmail” icons to email the article’s web URL to your friends.

If you merely want to save the article URL (i.e. its web location), right click on the “Permalink” button at the bottom left of the article frame (look for the dark blue-gray border). When you right click, you’ll see a pull-down menu. Select “Copy Link Address”. Then you can paste this link anywhere you like, using the paste command (CTRL-P on a Windows computer).

MidwayUSA’s Larry Potterfield explains: “MidwayUSA has been on YouTube for several years now. I’m excited about our launch into Facebook and Twitter. When we started the business, we’d communicate with our customers through face-to-face conversations or over the phone, but with these new social media channels, we’ll be able to communicate, nearly instantly, [with] more and better information.”

Latest Sales and Promos Listed on Twitter
MidwayUSA will provide “tweets” on current sales and the latest MidwayUSA video releases. Simply log on to http://www.twitter.com/midwayusa to get the latest info. For example, right now MidwayUSA’s Twitter Feed links to a Labor Day Special which runs through September 5 (sale ends at 11:59 pm Central Time). The following Labor Day Special codes provide discounts on regular, in-stock products.

• $10 off $100 or more – Use Promo Code 191177
• $25 off $250 or more – Use Promo Code 291177
• $50 off $500 or more – Use Promo Code 591177

Hornady’s Facebook Site will offer:

• Live chats with industry experts.
• Exclusive discounts and promotions.
• Timely info on new products.
• Product photo galleries and videos.

On Hornady’s new social media pages, shooters can share their photos and stories about hunting, competitive shooting, and reloading. Importantly, the Facebook Page will allow shooters to interact with Hornady’s “brain trust” — the ballisticians, designers, and engineers who develop Hornady’s new products. Allowing customers to share their ideas/experiences with the folks who design and build Hornady products is a good thing. Hornady can get reliable, immediate feedback on its products. That should speed up the process of making improvements and enhancements.
