BRUCE GRAY CUSTOM GSR 1911 .45 Giveaway!

[CDR]

No I was not. I first heard of  the giveaway from MB's blog . I first heard of DRTV from a post of Michaels on sigforum.So i did a search for Downrange tv and found this site : when the contaest opened I entered . But I was not invited.

The point is you had to come to DRTV in order to enter the contest....regardless if you received a formal invitation or not.  The contest was here and nowhere else, which has been my only argument all along.  It was for DRTV members, not for convention goers willing to complete a form for Sigarms.

Tell you what...Marshal and I will figure out a gun giveaway for this list only — excludingof course Tim Burke, who already has too many guns — how will that work for you all?

"Threw DRTV".......  

Perhaps after you master the art of spelling and grammar you may actually come to the realization that you succeeded in making my point.  You needed to join the DRTV CONTEST through the DRTV WEBSITE.  I'm glad you were able to finally comprehend what I have been saying.  At least I think you get it.

Michael, that's seems to be what the confusion about the giveaway was in the first place, that it was initially advertised as only for the members participating in the Downrange.tv forums.  If the rules changed mid stream, then they changed, you own the board and set the rules.  The fact that you even held a giveaway to generate interest in the sight was good marketing.  And as always  Downrange.tv will still a good source of entertainment for me....

Hi guys,

I 've been reading all of these posts and I see there is some confusion about the giveaway.

First, Sigarms does not have 8000 people in their list of targeted advertising as a result of this.

The DRTV giveaway is/was an open contest marketed through DRTV and through the efforts of our sponsors. We have not... at any time... narrowed the participation to registered members of the DRTV forum. All the information that can be found on our site is open to the public, the same goes for the giveaway entries. 

What is important to establish here is that Sigarms along with all the sponsors of this first giveaway have gone overboard for us to make this a success for DRTV. We also experienced that at the NRA convention last weekend.

The sponsors have not just given away their part of a package, but have also done their share of marketing the DRTV concept, which has the main purpose of joining sport shooters, gun owners in general and the gun industry to establish another platform of common interests. What we have experienced is that SIG along with all of our partners and future partners will do all they can to help us in working for the common cause, which includes preserving our rights. This includes the facts that we should be one big family no matter our field of interests (hunting, sports shooting, etc).

The giveaway is a small part of this big picture. We are not hiding the fact that giveaways are good marketing, not just for the sponsors and advertisers and DRTV. It is also one of many effective ways to round up fellow gun owners to a junction like DRTV where we want viewers, readers and forum members to find a reliable source of information.

Note that sponsors like SIG and their efforts drive traffic to DRTV where their competitors can and will be found. That is a non selfish contribution simply because they know that we all have to work together on so many levels.

Michael's main mission through his many media projects has always been to share good and reliable information about guns and all that is related to guns. I am one of many who share these objectives. We are both excited to work with the industry and fellow gun owners to achieve these goals.

Rest assured, Michael and I are already in the process of evaluating this first giveaway. An exclusive forum member giveaway is on the list of many ideas we are working on.

We are also excited to launch the next giveaway in cooperation with our new sponsors/partners and we know for sure that they will work with us with the same objectives as our sponsors of the GSR 1911.

We thank you all for spreading the word about DRTV and get ready for the next giveaway.
