# Iron Mako Media

> Iron Mako Media is an owner-operated network of gear review websites covering hunting and shooting, camping and hiking, fitness and training, sports and backyard, home and family, and seasonal gear. Every site links back to this hub so readers can see who is behind the review.

Owner and author of record for every site: Mike M. (The hands-on owner behind Iron Mako Media.). Contact: mike@blackironathletics.com. No phone number and no office address exist; the network is run online.

## What this site is

ironmakomedia.com is the PORTFOLIO HUB — the brand homepage that every Iron Mako Media review site links back to from its footer and About page. It is not a review site. It carries no affiliate links, no product roundups, no prices, no advertising and no lead capture. Its jobs are to (1) list every site the company owns and operates, (2) publish the editorial standards, testing policy and network-wide affiliate disclosure those sites share, and (3) name the owner and give a way to reach him.

- Legal / publisher name: Iron Mako Media
- Owner-operated: yes — one person, Mike M.
- Market: United States, nationwide (no physical location)
- Portfolio size: 30 sites (0 live, 30 launching soon)
- Link discipline: the hub links out to every live site; the sites link only to the hub, never to each other

## Editorial standards (summary)

- Hands-on where possible, researched where not — and every recommendation on every site says which it is.
- Commissions never set a score, decide a pick or buy placement.
- Every site carries an affiliate disclosure on every page with an affiliate link; the network-wide disclosure is at https://ironmakomedia.com/about#affiliate-disclosure.
- Corrections: email mike@blackironathletics.com; fixes are made on the page and material changes are noted.
- Author byline on every site: "Mike M.". No invented credentials.
