The free shotgun community from Target Focused Life
Break more targets.
Drop more birds.
Buy the right shotgun.
TFL Insider is where shotgunners help each other get better. Ask anything about guns, chokes, loads, fit, or hunting, and get real answers from people who actually shoot.
Free to join in 30 seconds. Or back TFL as a Supporter for $4.99 a month.
TFL has worked with the brands shotgunners trust
Figuring out shotguns on your own is slow and expensive
The wrong gun costs real money
A shotgun that doesn’t fit you or the way you shoot is an expensive mistake, and the internet gives you ten different answers.
Guessing costs you birds and targets
Chokes, loads, and fit make a big difference. Figuring them out by trial and error can take years.
Comment sections aren’t built for help
Your question gets buried, an algorithm decides who sees it, and gun talk can get restricted.
You shouldn’t have to figure it out alone. That’s why we built TFL Insider.
A crew of shotgunners in your corner
TFL Insider is a free community where shotgunners help each other get better. Here is what that looks like.
Buy the right shotgun the first time
Ask owners what they really think before you spend, and get honest input on fit, budget, and how you shoot.
Shoot better, sooner
Get help with chokes, loads, fit, and technique from shotgunners who have already solved the same problems.
Share the good days
Post hunt reports, scores, and new guns with people who actually care how your season went.
Also inside: a discussion on every new TFL video, promo codes on gear Steve uses, and monthly giveaways open only to Insiders.
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.

Questions
What does it cost?
TFL Insider is free to join, and it stays free. TFL Supporter is an optional membership for $4.99 a month that adds Video Requests, Shotgun Fest early access, an exclusive merch discount, and the gold Supporter badge.
Can I cancel TFL Supporter?
Yes, anytime. Go to your account page and cancel in a couple of clicks. You keep your Supporter perks until the end of the month you paid for, and you stay a free Insider after that.
Will Steve answer my question?
Steve and the TFL crew stop in when they can, but TFL Insider is built for shotgunners helping each other. Post your question in the right space and the community will jump in.
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.
I was in the old TFL community on Mighty Networks. What do I do?
This is TFL Insider, upgraded and moved onto the TFL website. 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.
Stop figuring it out alone
Picture your next season: the right gun, the right choke and load, and a crew to share the good days with. It starts with one free account.
