π― Welcome to Shoot & Hook QC π£
We created this community for local outdoorsmen and women who are tired of the censorship and over-moderation on big social media platforms. Here, you're free to share your passion for shooting, hunting, fishing, gear, and the outdoors without being buried by algorithms or flagged for discussing legal, everyday topics.
Whether you're looking to meet like-minded folks in the Quad Cities, find local events, trade gear, or just swap stories from the woods and water β this is your space. Thanks for being here and helping build something better.
