When I started this community I thought about the name deciding to run with The Pew, intended as a play on words...You know, pew pew, the noise people make when pretending to shoot their finger-guns and church pew those long benches people sit on at church.
It was intended to indicate that (to some) firearms and shooting was sort of like a religion I'm not sure if anyone really got it though. Chalk it up to one more G-dog fail.
Yesterday I had a rethink and decided to make the title a little more obvious in respect to what the community was about changing it to The Pew: Guns & more. But what does more mean?
I understand that there's not many people around the community who are interested in guns which may draw into question me starting the community in the first place. I started it for myself though as somewhere to drop my own firearms content. But right from the outset I opened it up to other topics to allow people to use the community whether they had firearms or not.
I was also very clear indicate that even anti-gun content and opinions were welcome - Basically, provided the community's rules were followed, very basic standard rules, it was open to any on-topic content. You can see the topic-suggestions below.
Firearms - Outdoors - Camping - Survival - Preparedness - Hunting - Archery - Military - 4x4 - Shooting sports
It's a pretty broad selection of topics and I think within the listed items sub-topics could be found:
Military and firearms history, ammunition reloading, sport and game shooting, professional culling, or plinking. Under the preparedness topic could come home-security, situational awareness or doomsday content.
Other sub-topics could include hiking, and remote travel, weapon-making, knives and edged weapons and content about the tools and equipment used in and around all of these topics. Equipment and product reviews, unboxing, homesteading or just general thoughts around any of these topics and more. I'd say a lot to work with right? You do not need to be a a firearms expert, or expert on anything at all.
I'll be honest I can't give whale-votes to those who post in this community and it's not generally a widely used community although it's here for y'all to use if your content fits and I'll engage with you if you show up.
I'll vote as I can and promote some posts to others when possible, gain some additional reward for those that post here - So, give it a try maybe we can exchange some ideas, knowledge, thoughts and opinions.
Design and create your ideal life, don't live it by default - Tomorrow isn't promised.
Be well
