Getting Started Guide

The fastest way to understand the platform: explore the three main sections. Directory (find businesses and services), Events (competitions and training), and Handbook (knowledge resources). You don't need an account to browse—search businesses, view upcoming events, and read articles right away. When you're ready to save favorites or register for events, creating an account takes a minute. Here's where to start.

The Boise Gun Club combines four main features. Directory helps you find businesses from FFLs to gunsmiths across all 50 states. Events shows competitions, training, and community gatherings near you. Handbook provides legal guides, safety information, and gear reviews. Ranges gives you real-time conditions for shooting locations. Each feature has its own help guide with detailed information.

Getting around the platform is straightforward. The main navigation at the top shows all major sections. Each section has its own search and filter system optimized for that content type. Directory search looks for business names and services. Events search filters by discipline, date, and location. Campfire search scans topics and discussions. Use the Help link in the footer for detailed guides on each feature. Here's how to find what you're looking for quickly.

Now that you understand the basics, dive deeper into the features you're most interested in. Each section has a detailed help guide covering advanced topics, tips, and best practices. Join Campfire discussions to connect with experienced shooters who can answer questions and share local knowledge. Register for upcoming events to experience the firearms community in person. Explore the business directory to find local services you didn't know existed. The platform works best when you actively participate and contribute.
