Re: AH Fox Collectors Group on Facebook
Thank you Jason.JasonPeck wrote:We have a "sticky" pinned to the top of the FB group with a direct link to AHFCA membership form. Not sure how to quantify it, but I will ask any who sign here up to let us know in their first post.Silvers wrote:That sounds just great. So what is the mechanism by which FB folks are being steered here? Any examples of technical, historical or other contributions by new FB folks on this site? Any idea how many have joined up as paying members to help fund the AHFCA and its efforts? Also, a suggestion to the Fox FB moderator: can you ask FB folks who get steered here to let us know in their first post that they originated from FB? Thank you.

Jason: Thanks for making the effort to spread the AH Fox gospel with your Facebook page!! I joined the group and check it out every day. A little friendly competition and alternatives are good and it helps improve the experience for all collectors. Craig

Re: AH Fox Collectors Group on Facebook
Many guys post pics oftheir Foxguns and hunting successes on theFB page. It is so simple to post on FB,even carry on "discussions" and ask questions in almost real time,that is why,for the most part, FB has more activity than a website. Both have pluses and drawbacks. I manage multiple FB pages for other organizations. I would never want to manage another website than theone we (RMSC) have now!!
Research has shown that if you want to reach a younger crowd, we need the presence on multiple internet forums (Website for the older generation. FB,twitter,instagram, etc for the younger.) It is, what it is.

Re: AH Fox Collectors Group on Facebook
Agree with you Mike. There are lots of folks who aren't collectors but who are just heavy users of Foxes. They have found the Fox FB page and are jumping in with both feet and some new Foxes are showing up for us to look at. I hit both sites a lot. You are correct, the ability to upload photos directly off your hard drive or from your smart phone is a big selling point for this younger generation. They don't want to fool around with Photobucket or Picturetrail etc.

Re: AH Fox Collectors Group on Facebook
I am not a Facebook person, but I joined the FOX sight off my wife's Facebook page to see what was happening. Now every time there is a new picture posting my wife runs in with her IPAD to show me the new FOX photo. I'm with you Frank, I have not joined the 21st Century with Facebook, but I think we are behind the times.

I do not do Facebook and see no need for having it. Jim
Goodbye Mandy, once in a life time hunting dog. I miss you every day.

Re: AH Fox Collectors Group on Facebook
Some REALLY NICE Fox guns have been posted this week. I was especially impressed with the Ryan Busse gun.

FaceBook requires exposure of your name and information that could be used to locate yourself.
