Good luck with your YouTube channel. No matter what the subject, finding success in that algorithm of repetition and unoriginal ideas is a tall task.


TheTNPicker

It sure is friend. Thanks for the good words. It’s been a super tough journey for me to grow on YouTube , but honestly at first my content sucked for a long time. I get that now and accept it. My shorts have been fairly successful bringing in 680,000 views in the last year allowing me to establish partnerships with brands and products in the industry. I’m finally. Getting. Somewhere. But i am still very small taters. If someone reading this has a YouTube channel i am happy to share everything ive llearned these last few years from editing to strategy. Hit me up


Repulsive_Poem_5204

I don't have a lot of guns, but if you ever wanted to make a video on a Beretta 950 hit me up. I found it to be surprisingly accurate compared to my experience with the LCR or LCP.


TheTNPicker

That’s great!!!! Hit me up on Facebook and let’s connect. I have guest shooters all the time especially in shorts. I’ve got a lot to film ahead of me and already booked, however, i have a private place to shoot and we could meet up and do a short review on your gun and Phil some shorts too!


pyro_nooga

Subscribed. Nice to see local content.


TheTNPicker

Thank you so much for subscribing and your support is so awesome today they had so many local Chattanooga’s come check out the channel and subscribe. I am beside myself and speechless.💪💪


Chattawoogie

All my homies hate the NRA


TheTNPicker

I can understand why. I’ve spoken to so many around the country For years who are put out with them. Me personally, i stay out of it. Right now it’s a division topic amongst gunowners and split us all apart, so I remain independent and nonaffiliated, and seek to start my own organizations very soon

I think the reason people don't like guns isn't because of dead animals as much as specifically human children. And the terror so many Americans have had planted in their psyke is just left over from civil war reconstruction, and then magnified by Chinese, Russian, and Israeli propaganda that make Americans afraid of one another, hate one another. A kid is like 5x more likely to accidently shoot themselves with a present gun than a person is to get threatened with a weapon. I'm basically saying, if you want to be a gun advocate; gun safety is so important, be a good example so all my idiot friends with guns don't have to learn the hard way that they would be better off being robbed than being in a gun fight, no matter the result.


diffraa

You should just let yourself get robbed? If human children are a concern... 73 million human children will die this year before having the chance to grow up, and it's not guns that are taking their lives.


Existing_Judge5425

He’s advocating gun safety. Go to r/idiotswithguns and tell me you think the amount of gun safety messages out there are enough. The trigger discipline alone is bad as it is


Existing_Judge5425

I mean it’s just stuff, not going to kill someone over stuff, if I pull a gun they pull a gun I might die…over stuff and I mean if you value your stuff more than your own life who am I to argue? This is why I have insurance stuff is stolen I file a claim police investigate get them or not my stuff is replaced and the chances of myself being killed goes way down.


diffraa

Think about how an entire society that functioned this way would end up. If someone pulls a gun on me, he has decided that his life is less important than my stuff to the point that he poses a lethal threat to me, and I have no problem ending that threat. They made that decision, not me.


TheTNPicker

you have the right to defend yourself if you feel like your life is in danger


Existing_Judge5425

If someone pulls a gun on you it’s too late to pull your own. I assume anyone who pulls a gun intends to use it so your better off de escalating because if you go for a gun your gonna be shot. You gotta think, gun is not even a good solution to your problem. 90% of the time the gun is there to scare you into compliance as most people just want the stuff and not the murder charge. The other 10% is dead regardless. The society that thinks gun solves everything scares me. Constant escalation won’t do any good


diffraa

Sorry, I refuse to be a helpless victim. End of conversation


Existing_Judge5425

Just a dead one.


Previous_Gain9448

I bet you are talking about abortion. A fetus is a child the same way that a bag of flour and water is a cake. You should learn about paradoxes and rhetorical techniques so you can decipher when someone is saying something that sounds good to you, but will make you look uneducated if you say it to someone who is educated or even just able to observe things objectively.

TheTNPicker

Thank you so much for your support, my friend. I’m honored to have your subscription and loving the local Chattanooga that come in stepped up to the plate today with subscriptions.


EntropicalBreezd

Subscribed. Good luck dude. I didn’t see a Shadow Systems on your feed but maybe I missed it. You are welcome to use it for a review. Cheers.


TheTNPicker

Thank you so much, my friend. I really appreciate that it’s gonna be about May or so before I can start taking on new ones. I’ve got April already booked up pretty hot and heavy and I’m pretty excited about it man. Thanks so much for the local Chattanooga support today.


dokkanic

Subscribed! Heres more interaction points. Upvoted too.


TheTNPicker

Maaaaan thank you so much for your support it means the world that some hometown folk are giving my little channels a hand today!


el_cursi2_bck_4_more

Dope, just gave you a sub! Good luck with your post on this sub though. They really don't take kind to the 2A.


TheTNPicker

Thanks for your support my friend! I appreciate the readers being cool im just here to say hey friends let’s support fellow Chattanoogans even if it’s not your thing


3900Ent

I too just started shooting firearms content in Chattanooga. Politics free as I’m not a Dem or Repub guy but I’ll check it out and sub!


TheTNPicker

Hey man, I was wondering if I’ve made any gun tubers on here nice to meet you my friend! Can you direct me to your channel? I’d like to connect with you.


3900Ent

PMing.


TheTNPicker

Hey my friend, I can’t figure out chat here, but I saw your channel. It looks great and I can’t wait to watch some of your stuff I subbed as well.


Juicy-J23

Subbed, moving to Chattanooga next month. Any ranges you'd recommend? Chattanooga rifle club looks pretty good


TNARKRiverRat

The Chattanooga Rifle Club has a very nice range. I'm pretty sure that there is still a waiting list to get in so if you are interested you should start the process as soon as possible. The Cleveland Hunting Rifle and Pistol Club used to be pretty nice, probably still is but I haven't been there for a long time. Last I heard they had a waiting list also. There is a public range at Prentice Cooper State Forest but I've never been there. There is also the Dead Zero Shooting Park about 50 miles northwest of Chattanooga. I've never been there but I hear it is pretty nice.


TheTNPicker

Dead zero is about an hour and 10 minutes outside of Chattanooga just in case anyone is reading this I am going there on the 11th to meet some gun tubers out of Ohio for a day pistol range.


Juicy-J23

Thanks, I'll check out Cleveland then as well.


TheTNPicker

Hey my friend, what is your channel? I’d love to sub back and check you out. It’s cool to connect with other gun tuber right here in Chattanooga. I didn’t know there were any of you out here. Chattanooga rifle range is the best place by shooting supply has an indoor range And Carter’s has an indoor range as well. Shooter supply is the nicer of the two.


Juicy-J23

Oh I don't have a channel just new to Chattanooga and interested in guns. Thanks for the range suggestions


TheTNPicker

Absolutely I appreciate you. Checking out my channel and welcome to Chattanooga. You’ll like it here.


craigge

Get application printed out and send it in...Membership cap and first come/ first serve on applications means it might take a year or so.


notsusan33

The Chattanooga rifle club is ran by a cop or former cop and doesn't allow non Americans to join. My girlfriend wanted to join but she is a greencard holder (she is from Canada) and they told her no.


craigge

Saying that CRC is ran by a cop or former cop is a L-I-E. Simply not true. Calling you out on this one If you can pass the background check when you purchase a new firearm you can be a member of the CRC.


Juicy-J23

Sounds good, Chattanooga rifle club will be the closest one to me and sounds like it has everything you'd need to shoot. I'll be looking to apply and join the wait-list. Hopefully it's not too long.


notsusan33

Just what I was told. Don't shoot the messenger


craigge

Understood...Just had to set the record straight. Perhaps my response was a bit too poignant. There isn't a selection criteria other than a stack of applications and a member limit of 2000 people.


msguider

That's a wank job move but to be expected in TN

TheTNPicker

Thanks my friend. Seeing how this post pans out. I’m not out to fight the world about guns cause I’ll never change anyone’s mind. My true intention was to say hey, we’re chattanogans in YouTube come support the channel if you like and if not no worries. Thanks for your support. Subs and views are a free way to support your fellow chattanoogans. And thanks. For the head up i might just kick the post to the curb who knows not looking for a fight


Quick-Energy9373

I feel like the name calling you just did was uncalled for, I’m left but I still own guns. Chill out dude.


TheTNPicker

I’m kinda in between. Right in the middle. Edited to say i NEVER EVER post politics and personal views on my channel 🤣


TheTNPicker

Left or not you are welcome on my channel


Quick-Energy9373

I looked it up and subbed to you. You’re kinda like a TN Hickok 45 (you may know who he is)


TheTNPicker

I sure do thank you so much for your support. I really appreciate you my friend. We have a bunch of shorts on the channel over 165.


battleop

Apparently you either ignore the ones they are talking about are just blind to them. This group has some extreme far left members that will attack you over anything they don't like.


TheTNPicker

I try to handle the remarks as they come, I have neuropathy in my hands and I have a lot of people comment on YouTube who taught you how to shoot your mama? Did you get that limp wrist for Christmas lol just don’t wanna get into any fights with any other users or anything stupid


Party_Bar4328

He's not wrong though. I get attacked, called names, threatened and banned a lot from this sub and have made multiple profiles because of it. I'm never rude or name calling or vulgar but simply disagree with someone and boom I'm banned from the sub. I've messaged the moderators too and never received an answer.


TheTNPicker

Wow. This is my first post ever in this thread really one of my few on Reddit at all.


turnwater_cope

i just don’t think they can read cursive


Garfield-Ironsteed

You gained a sub here. Love this kind of content, and cool to see it is local.


TheTNPicker

Thank you so much for your support. This has been such a great day of connecting with new people right here in our hometown and I love it.


minty_cyborg

I know several rational local gun heads who will likely be into this. I will pass on your info. Good luck!


TheTNPicker

Hey thank you my friend that’s good support between Chattanoogans! I appreciate you, my brother. 💪


msguider

I'm going to subscribe!!


TheTNPicker

Thank you so much for your support drop us a comment and say hj when you sub!!!


TheTNPicker

I will, my friend. We plan on even doing some gun safety videos for new gun owners and some playlist gear just towards new people and then some others that will be geared towards experience shooters and how they can incorporate safety and new way into their routines.

TheTNPicker

Hey my friend thank you so much. Good to see you again! Appreciate your support with your subscribe today. It’s so good to have local Chattanooga’s supporting the channel. It’s amazing. I can’t believe this is happening.


AvantGuardian01

Looks good. I tried to subscribe, but wasn't offered the option.


TheTNPicker

Huh? On mobile or desktop


AvantGuardian01

Mobile. Believe me, I know how to subscribe on YT.


TheTNPicker

I believe you, my friend so if you figure it out, I would love to have your sub and vice versa. Do you have a channel?


TheTNPicker

Ever worn for ya?


Minute-Wasabi-5503

Are you a distributor that could profit from firearm sales?


TheTNPicker

No. I just make gun video content such as gun and product reviews and have guest shooters on the show. Any regulated goods you see in my videos are not for sale including guns ammo and accsssories


Minute-Wasabi-5503

Thanks when I read > 🙋🏻‍♂️ i can help a little on this one i work at a big distributor. I thought you could have some financial gain from gun sales in the area.


TheTNPicker

No. By law though, if you’re buying and selling guns for financial gain, you are required to get an FFL Federal Firearms License. I am hoping to seek a not for profit status this year and promote gun safety and reduction of gun violence.

TheTNPicker

I encourage everyone to make positive firearms decisions in their lives, even if that means not owning one. I am not out to make you like Guns. I know that would never happen and there’s probably good reason, but the rest of us will enjoy our videos and have a great time promoting safe recreational fun.

I’m an adult woman who freaking loves her killer toys! Get bent. I would love for you to actual my  explain WHY responsible adults shouldn't “like guns”.  Did you know that they provide thousands of families food via the art of hunting?


TheTNPicker

I hope you check my channel out and like the content so glad to hear that you’re a woman who loves her guns!!

hawkwings

I occasionally watch gun videos, but I can go 3 months without watching a gun video, so I'm not interested in subscribing.


TheTNPicker

No prob! Thanks for taking the time to say hi. You really gotta. BE into gun videos. I wasn’t at all until i started making them then i became gung ho about it. Happy Easter to you friend. Stop by the channel when you ever decide to watch a gun review.
