Quote HistoryThat was a train wreck...
"What bullet weight?" "Uhhh..." "Since the parent case is .223 Winchester, why not do it on the .223 Winchester case..." This is the first I've heard of a .223 Winchester. I've heard of a .223 Remington, but not a Winchester. |

The forum wasn’t getting much traffic but pulling it late was our bad. As for coverage, check out the new page we setup here: https://www.ar15.com/shot-show-2019/ We have aggregated video, photo, forum posts and twitter feeds into one place to make it easier. Other shot discussion threads are also in the GD. We have been releasing videos each day and will continue to do so until they are all completed!!! We have a lot of footage from the show! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I thank you for all that you do and I know that you are always trying to improve the forum, but this format is has less than zero appeal to me. The forum was excellent. Any that wanted to take to time could post whatever they found that was interesting. |

The old forum wasn't being used much and there were a few threads in GD about the show. We are hoping to expand next year's coverage to get more of the new products/ideas.
If you know someone who wants to help out and be part of it, let me know. I've been thinking about doing a contest to bring someone to the show to help cover it for the community. Answer requests in threads and run over to get photos and ask questions, maybe shoot some live streaming from phone or record short videos to share. I thought it would be a cool way to get more folks involved. |

I'd go, pay my own way. I'm more a fan of pictures with short write ups but could easily do short videos and live streams. It would be nice to run about and hit the reloading and accessories sections as well as targeting the innovators at shot 2020. Most videos have too much noise to signal ratio, I think it'd be easy to get the meat in potatoes in a couple minutes for most products.

I try to keep my videos short for a reason. I think SHOT Show videos shouldn't be long. It should be a "hey, check this out" and move on. Later media work can go more into detail. I get what GoatBoy and crew and trying to do. And I give them credit for it. They built up a good business.

@GoatBoy was the traffic slow during the months right around SHOT? I’m sure it’s dead the rest of the year as there’s no real reason to go there but during shot it was a good place to go.

Next year we should post a Shot Show Link Share thread, so folks can add different places to get info from, which I am ok with and all for. The bigger issues these days is folks everywhere are covering the show and doing less than nice things to steal traffic from one another. It really has been bad, like real bad. People dont want to play nicely anymore, which is sad. The problem I have with that is if we are all on the same side, then share together. Help one another. But that's not how it works anymore.
The show forum itself was just not getting traction. A couple of threads in GD should cover everything people are looking for as well as a way to share conversations and coverage. I think having someone from the site go to "help" bridge the gap between community and show would also be great. Coverage for the people, by the people!

Please bring back the SHOT Show forum next year. It's nice having just 1 place to go to find all info on SHOT Show. In past years someone would always start a thread in that forum and update it with links to other sites that have SHOT Show coverage. That thread was always nice to consolidate all the links to coverage around the web. And usually there'd be a general SHOT Show picture thread in that forum where various people would post up all the pics they took at SHOT. I know we all appreciate the coverage ar15.com does of SHOT, but there's always going to be companies/products some of us are interested in seeing that ar15.com won't cover as you can't hit every booth.
I also much prefer pictures to videos. I just want to see a picture or two of a new product and maybe a few sentences at most explaining it vs. a video. Then I can just quickly browse through lots of new products and scan for anything of interest. I'm not watching any videos unless it's for just the small handful of new products I'm especially interested in getting more info on. |

Agree this year coverage was not that great! Too confusing to look at let alone find. Went else where for the coverage. Don't know why you went and changed the format. It was just fine the way it was in the past.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Do what you gotta do to make sure you can own it, water mark stuff, whatever but I personally would much prefer articles and pics over videos. Even if the article is just a transcription of the video with stills from the video that's easier for me to digest.  , but should help bridge the biggest weakness, which is having someone directly handling forum requests and interests.
The best thing we can do is learn from each year's work and improve on it. |

Would love to help out but not free until SHOT 2021. Haven't been to a SHOT since the 90s, been busy elsewhere. Always came to ARFCOM for my SHOT news while deployed.

Would it work to have a pinned banner link to the SHOT forum, the same way it does when TNVC or other sponsors have a "superpinned" page? That could direct traffic to that specific forum, and also allow for the SHOT specific threads, and have the Pinned ARF IG feed, etc.
Like others have said, I'm not going to watch the videos. Too much signal to noise. And if I have to use IG to scroll for the pictures without any context or blurbs about content, I'm likely not gonna do that either. |

Having spent time in the film business, I can say with confidence that most people like to see their name and face on screen and in print. And, if you are normal, you are drawn to shows, films, books, etc., where someone you know is involved. My suggestion would be to include write-ups, videos, interviews about products and exhibitors who are related to arfcom, if not members here. I know we're all interested in gear and guns, but we're also interested in each other.
On a side note, I am among those disappointed in this year's coverage. No disrespect to your efforts, but the results didn't live up to the expectations. I do, however, applaud your hard work and enthusiasm. |
