elr-resources.com – a resource for the ELR shooting community
I just finished doing a link check on my website, www.elr-resources.com, and decided to pitch it as a resources to the ELR shooting community, one more time.
Background: I started the site in May 2011 when I became seriously interested in ELR shooting. The site includes (very low) thousands of links – and links only, save for minor commentary regarding what I found interesting at the annual SHOT Shows, which having and maintaining the site allows be to go to as "media". It is maintained daily and updated formally every week. Before support the hit counter I was using went away, along with the hit counter, it had recorded 41,000+ hits to the home page – and it is not my internet home page (i.e., not where my internet browsers startup). While the site is primarily composed of US company links, more and more international companies have been added over the years. Please note that it is an entirely non-commercial site, no registration, no fuss, no muss – and no forum, and no interest in having one. I make no compensation from it – zero, zip, none.

News – a recap of what has been added or changed during the week just passed; plus SHOR Show recaps (which are also posted to forum sites with major ELR content)
End notes – I'm always looking for more content in the above groupings (companies that have a web presence reflecting ELR shooting "involvement") and additional content groups (in case I have managed to miss an entire group). Please communicate, including providing constructive criticism, via e-mail, to webmaster at elr-resources.com. Thanks for reading through this post. If you have yet to stop by my site, please do.
