What Members Are Saying About COLFO

Real Testimonies. Unedited.


We recently asked members who put money behind this work, whether they feel their investment and the benefits they get back are worth it. Those benefits include Sentinel: legal support, better communications, support for their clubs and businesses, and opportunities to win.

 

Currently we have over 11,000 licensed firearm owners on our free mailing list, and just 945 have joined as Sentinel Members.

 

Although COLFO's indirect membership is far greater than this, direct membership is what makes it all possible by keeping the lights on.

 

When we asked how likely these members were to recommend COLFO to a friend or family member, 95% scored 7 or more out of 10. And 82% of these scored us a 9 or 10. Clearly showing those who financially back us, see value in the work we are doing for them*.

 

So whether you sign up for the introductory $25 membership to enter our competitions and get better comms, or for $99+GST per year to get the Sentinel legal coverage and future benefits we are working on, we appreciate your support.

 

The biggest giveaway is coming soon for existing COLFO members thanks to our friends at NZ Ammunition Company Rumor has it there will be more than .270 reasons to join us, so consider joining us today.

 

Here is what that looks like from comments that represented the majority of the feedback:


"It's essential to join and support COLFO. The folks opposing the enjoyment of our sport are powerful well funded and immune to logic and fairness, its no longer possible to count on commonsense in this area."“Think of it as a union for firearms owners. Joining us together for a combined voice in the public domain.”

 

- Paul R & Tim W


"COLFO is fighting for your rights, the more members it gets the more influence it has to fight for your rights."


"Good political awareness, good response to relevant media events, good at not bombarding inbox with opinionated/unwanted slop. Feels very curated and deliberate. Feels like COLFO is growing from obscurity into a relevant entity."

 

- Murray S &Tom W

"I wish Sentinel had more coverage, but after hearing a recent presentation by COLFO I know the plan is to look at hiring an internal lawyer once they hit 5000 members.

 

Imagine how good that would be if every hunter, shooter and club could just call and get the help they needed without worrying about the bill?"

* We know what you're thinking, "but how many people scored the value badly?"


So to be totally transparent, three people scored us less than a 5/10. Their primary concerns were wanting more discounts from brands (we're trying but it's hard without a big membership to overcome their worries about supporting "the gun lobby" publicly), wanting better merch (working on it), and wanting a stronger fight for pistol clubs and police out of the admin (we have an update on that will be in the newsletter this week).
