: A Special Thanks To Straight Shooters... Our New and
: Gene_SC August 15, 2006, 09:42:04 AM
old members now have direct access to a fantastic source of data on Air Guns from the GTA Library. This data and reference material is the same questions that I see everyday in our forum. I have been corresponding with Kevin Gilbride from Starightshooters  (http://www.straightshooters.com/)about letting our forum put direct links to Straight Shooters Data Links. He has given us permission.

There is much more information on the Straightshooters (http://www.straightshooters.com/) web site than we can begin to link to..:) I picked out the most common topics and placed them in our GTA Library (http://../../library/Library_MainPage.htm). Enjoy the fruits of other men's time and effort. If anyone does speak to the guys at Straightshooters (http://www.straightshooters.com/) don't forget to give em a big thanks..

Gene the links don't work. All I get when I click is 404 error

The reason you are getting errors is that Straightshooters has put up a new Web Site. The DNS has not yet popogated all over the world yet. For the layman it is hard to understand but alll Web Sites are controled through a major database. When a major change occurs some times there is delay for change over or even web site not found and 404 errors...:)

I am able to connect to Straightshooters through the links just fine, and with all 4 of my computers... Only connecting to there old site though.. :)

Wallis:
What I did was go to Straightshooters retail site, clicked on the chat room which sent me to the old site. I then clicked on a post called 'new link' (close to the top of the page). That gave me the address to the new site.
Good Luck,
Mike

Hehe, I remember when I was still doing web I couldn't pull up my own page with a new domain name, all I could get it with was the ip addy....so I found a friend in Florida who could see it, then set my PC up to use his DNS server as my primary:)  The things we go through...sheesh!

My old shortcut doesn't work. I can't log on to the new one, and since I don't remember what username I had there [all sites have strange little peculiaties that make me modify my usual name], I can't get my data as it want's both e-mail address and username. SHouldn't e-mail address be enough?

When a major change over occurs with web sites there is always a propagation period for all the DNS information to get spread to all the databases that control our access of web sites...:)
