2. Is how many members we have here and that they have no more likes than they do.

It's fairly easy to rig these contests. Apparently that's what has happened because there's no way in hell that pumpkin pic should have more than a handful of votes

This is why I wish they would just make a decision on their own. I don't like at least half the finalist pics, because they suck hard. I don't like popularity contests, seems like it total defeats the whole purpose. But hey not my contest or company.

You still take killer pics bro. Please keep posting.

I'm still baffled by the fact that they got in. Surely there had to be more than just (literally) a handful of gun owners/photographers.

The thing is, Mega is doing it to get poeple to go to their facebook page. They're going to get more views if they allow the fans to vote, so I don't have a problem with that. But you're right, about half the photos are just bad.

And I appreciate that folks here like my photos. It mean more to me than random people on the internet.

Tis true.

I mean lets be real - the only reason why Ted Nugent has that many likes, is because he's Ted Nugent.

They didn't pin the post to the top eh?

I see why they selected less than professional type photos. You have to remember not everyone has top notch gear or good camera equipment. If it was limited to hardcore amateurs and professionals, the entries would be limited.

I know it doesn't help, but I did ask some of my friends and family to vote for you as well. I think you're right and getting screwed. I noticed the gentleman with no barrel is getting a lot of hits from people on the Toyota Tundra forums.

I'm not even keeping the prize, but being able to donate something and see my photography up on sites that I ever imagined like WEVO and Stickman and several others... humbling and a sense of pride at the same time. I'm thankful for any support I received and I just hope I can pay it forward and back someday.

Don't forget Ben at www.ar15news.com/

AR15News definately helped get me over the hump. Both myself and my main competitor Anthony scrambled to get support, and it was a great race. Along with WEVO, Stick, and AR15News I had support from Grey Fox Industries, 2A Athletics, Sheepdogs Inc, MARS Group, VF Gunrunner and dozens of friends which says a lot since I don't have very many friends on my FB profile. I had a lot of shares that I just don't even know about who I would thank if I could. I had a great conversation with Anthony wwhile we were both trying to rally last minute votes and he's a great dude who's going to help me spread the word as well since he's got phenomenal networking skills, lol. He also had karma shine down on him and won the Lantac Enhanced BCG this morning the lucky devil dog.

I also want to give credit to the supporters of Anthony's photo which included Funker Tactical and Christopher Van Etten since they stepped up and lent a hand in the contest to make it a nice finale.

How do you like that V7 selector?

As much as I like the BAD ASS, this may be my new favorite. It's a bit snappier than other selectors, but it took a bit of fiddling with to get it working right. I had to cut a couple coils off the spring, otherwise it was just too tough to switch.

When I say it's my favorite, I don't really plan on swapping my BAD ASS or CASS anytime soon. They really are both fantastic selectors and I find them equally easy to work with. As long as I have either a BAD or V7, I'm happy.
