Find the Best

As part of my link reciprocity policy, I've added a few links over in the sidebar WoGroll for an outfit called Find the Best, specifically for FFLs, guns, safes and ranges. It looks like an interesting resource, so I asked them to give me a description of what they're all about, and they told me:
FindTheBest is an unbiased, data-driven comparison engine. We organize and present data in a consumer-friendly format so that you can make quick and informed decisions based on what's important to you.

How does that specifically relate to what WarOnGuns readers are apt to find of interest?
When approaching the great variety of options in the market for guns and gun-related goods, use FindTheBest to rank, filter, and sort search results along personal preferences. If you are in the market for a gun--whether it is for hunting, sport, or defense--narrow your search by firearm type, manufacturer, class, concealability, caliber, or price. With these filters, you can identify the best product for your needs, be it a .22 Rifle or a concealable pistol. Like the guns comparison, the gun safes comparison enables you to refine your search by manufacturer, model, firearm type, price, fire rating, capacity, lock type, features, and more. The shooting ranges comparison similarly allows for specification of preferences, while the buyer’s guide offers valuable advice on what to look for and what to avoid in your purchasing process. All the comparisons share the goal of removing any marketing bias or gimmicks from the decision-making process, empowering the user to weigh options with the knowledge of all available information.
Go ahead and not only check them out, but use the site and see what you think. I have not had time to give it more than a cursory once-over, so your comments will be helpful not just here, but also for the folks giving us this resource, who, I'm sure, will appreciate your constructive feedback, as well as sharing site links that you get value from.

Very interesting. Bookmarked.

Don't see any way to give them feedback, however.

The "buyer's guide" has quite a few incomplete and erroneous entries.

Hi Mama Liberty,

Would you send any feedback or suggestions that you have to rtaylor@findthebest.com

I am also sending a letter to the editor's at The Price of Liberty, subject line "FindTheBest Gun Comparison Feedback"

I look forward to hearing what you have to say!

Best,

Richard

MamaLiberty,

I'd be interested to know where you found inconsistencies, error, or incomplete fields. I'm assuming you're referencing the buyer's guide for shooting ranges, correct? I strive to maintain our content's quality, so any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help!
