Why TFL Insider
When you share, we all get better.
That has been the idea behind TFL from day one. TFL Insider gives shotgunners a home of our own, where we can talk guns, hunting, and the products we use without worrying about being deplatformed by big tech.
Talk guns freely
No algorithm deciding what you see
Built and run by TFL

Who is behind this
Built by Steve Gould
I have been in the shooting industry since 2009, first as half of the Gould Brothers trick shooting act and now as the guy behind Target Focused Life. TFL Insider is the place I wish I had when I started: one spot where shotgunners can ask questions, share hunts and scores, and get straight answers from people who actually shoot. And because it is our own platform, nobody else gets to decide which conversations are allowed.
Steve Gould, Target Focused Life
Questions
Good to know
What does it cost?
Nothing. TFL Insider is free to join.
Will you fill my inbox?
No. You’ll get new video alerts, giveaway news, and the occasional update from us, and every email has a one-click unsubscribe link. For community activity, like replies to your posts or new comments on threads you follow, you choose how much email you get. Open your profile in the community and click Notification Settings to turn emails on or off, or just check the bell icon whenever you stop by.
Can I sign up with Google?
Yes. Use the Sign up with Google button and you are in. No password to remember.
I was in the old TFL community on Mighty Networks. What do I do?
Create a free account here, ideally with the same email you used before. Join before November 30 and you get the Founding Member badge.
Can I buy or sell guns here?
Buying advice is always welcome. For listings, use ShotgunFind.com, the shotgun marketplace from TFL.
Do I need to be an experienced shooter?
Not at all. New shooters are welcome, and there is no such thing as a dumb question here.
