Good day MN Appleseeders!

We are going to be executing on some creative ways to help fill the lines on the 18th-19th events.  Please watch your PMs! 

If you have ideas to help, please post them up here so we can get more shooters!

Thank you,

Please forgive the intrusion, but one thing is to get a list of email addys from Nero and send them all a newsletter / notice of the PD event and the added excitement it entails.

Another is sending press releases to local media outlets - I can offer the how to on that if anyone is interested.

Anyone caught any other places lately?

I plan on signing up for one of the April 18-19th shoots.  Will wait to see where the most help is needed.

I'll probably take Hinckley, ought to have an SBit there too.

Keep an eye on IA and WI events as well.  Be prepared and put your best foot forward.  The outcome of these events will affect the rest of 2015 and beyond.

Emails went out to the Mower and Freeborn county police today offering the shoot.  I am working on contacts for other locations. 

We could use another hat in Austin please!

Suggest you contact Splithand and CoryG to IIT at Hinckley?

You know, the irony will be all your Spooner shooters will be from MN and all the Hinckley shooters will be from WI....

This is awesome folks! 

If you are an IIT/Instructor still thinking about where you are going on April 18th, take a look at the shooter to instructor ratio.  Hinkley could use another hat as help. 

FYI, Woody35 is planning to move over to Austin instead of Rochester.  We will have several kids there. 

SBs / SIs, thoughts?

Thanks!

Austin:  15
Hinkley:  11
Rochester:  SOLD OUT!    --- hoping we can expand capacity here by another 5+ ---- I have already received emails from shooters saying it is sold out. 

BTW.... when was the last sold out event in MINNESOTA?  Things are looking up for Liberty today!

BIG thanks to all the promo that is being pushed all over the state via many ways!

Check out what some dedicated promotions and elbow grease can do!  When was the last time Minnesota had 52 shooters in a weekend?
