What it is: ShootersVerified™ is a simple process of verifying some basic, yet powerful information about a person. A ShootersVerified certification means we've positively verified a person receives phone calls and mail at a given phone number and address.

Why it matters:  While nothing can completely eliminate all risk in life, ShootersVerified™ does two things for users of ShootersXchange.com:

1 - Positive verification of phone number and address is a significant deterrent to Internet fraudsters.
It takes away or significantly reduces their ability to hide behind a completely bogus ID.  Try to track one of these guys down and the trail immediately goes dead because all the information they've provided is bogus.  ShootersVerified™ changes that, making it more difficult for them to operate here.  ShootersVerified™ makes a real difference.  As a matter of fact, it's so good we have a Patent Pending on it.

2 - For sellers, another benefit of ShootersVerified™ is it actually cuts down on all the tire-kicking spam you get anytime you list something for sale on the Internet.  If someone is really serious about buying a gun over the internet, they'll get ShootersVerified™. If it isn't worth the minimal effort for them to go through the ShootersVerified™ process, chances are they are wasting your time. We give you the option of restricting inquiries on your listings to only those users who are ShootersVerified™. Or if you prefer, you can turn off the restriction and accept inquiries from anyone. Your call.

How it works:

1. The first step is Registering with ShootersXchange.com. (it's fast, painless and of course, free).
2.  Then start the ShootersVerified™ certification process - we do the whole thing for you for a $9.95 processing fee.  That's right, it's not a typo, $9.95.
3.  We'll call the phone number you've given and provide your SV Phone Code.  You then simply login to ShootersXchange.com, go to My Account and enter the code in the SV Phone Code box.
4.  You'll receive a postcard in the mail from us with your SV Address Code.  Login again and enter the code in the Address SV Code box.  When both codes have been entered by you, you will be officially ShootersVerified™ for the next 12 months or until you change your phone number or address.

Once you've initiated the ShootersVerified™ process, you may access any areas of the website and contact sellers otherwise restricted to ShootersVerified™ users only.

Why do we charge a $9.95 processing fee?   Well, to put things in perspective, "other gun sites" charge you $7.95 to simply send you an automated email, which you respond to with a click.  They then call you "verified".  Since you can go to any number of free email account providers, sign up with completely bogus information and get a new email address in the next 30 seconds, their "email verification" really does nothing for anyone except put $7.95 of your money in their pocket for doing absolutely nothing.

That's it.  Very straightforward and effective.  So Get ShootersVerified™ Now!
