Shooting News is all I get.

Targeted advertising works by tracking your browsing & then throwing up Ad's that are matched to that.

I block tracking cookies, so what I get is generally relevant to the site I'm visiting.

I will let the advertiser guys know.

Honestly though, it wasnt long ago we switched over to Google's engine powering things... NOW with their recent decision to block gun related things, I'm disinclined to work with google when it comes time to renew contracts.
