Tagline, you know, that little sentence below New Mexico on the state forums. Some have them, some not. Sort of a catchy id to define the state and our purpose in one line. Humorous or otherwise should/could we do this?
We started this but it fell by the wayside. Perhaps for the best, as we have better things to do. But since I had a spare moment... if we were to add a tagline what would it be? SamD had suggested "Land of enhancement".
Any ideas?
TG
I think we need a good catch phrase for the state. The proper wording could only help with promotions. Before the little blue pill, Sams' phrase would have been ideal. Different times need different messages to convey the real message. I have been trying for some time to come up with a good slogan but nothing seems to fit. The message is to important to be taken lightly, but humor can convey both the message and stick in the mind simultaneously. That is why $/time is spent on advertising. I certainly see the humor in Sams' tag line, but I don't think it will work for our purpose. But, I haven't come up with anything better. (no pun intended)

Hey,
How about " all the space your mind and rifle can use"
Wa
Where else can you shoot both Aliens and Redcoats?
Jeff,
We'd best have an avatar to clarify that....... ;)

eh, if you insist. We could also use the Postal Match target for the one Cheaper Than Dirt is running right now.... http://cheaperthandirt.com/blog/?p=7228&utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=AprilE-PostalFacebookSocial032411
Jeff,
Thanks for the heads up on the target.( FUN!) Those big eyed critters are a big problem around Roswell and I have a feeling they inhabit the Roundhouse too!

Hmmmm....could have a point there.....

We have one so far from Captwa.
We can use this thread to add more as we think of them. O0

New Mexico, Where else can you shoot both Aliens and Redcoats? Add picture of UFO/Redcoat side by side....

Area 51 Nevada.
P.S Love the Slogan. Gave me an idea for a fun target.
Howdy All,
How's about: APPLESEED-NEW MEXICO- "Restoring the Spirit of The American Revolution"

...keep em' coming!
"Where the sand and the bullets blow"
~Two Wolves
or "Where sand and bullets blow"
Officially, the state question is, "Red or green?"
"Red or green? What do you mean?"
"I mean which do you want to shoot? Redcoats or greenie meanies?"
I guess "Currently on the front line" won't work! :)
I like "Red or Green?...Coats". Or "We can see further than you can shoot!" Or "A Rifleman behind every yucca."....O.L.
These are good.
I am leaning towards OL's. The "yucca" sorta captures the essence of the state. The "Rifleman" covers the AS part.
We can keep this thread alive for awhile and perhaps when we get done with our April shoots do a quickie poll.
We can still add more as we think of them. :~
"A Rifleman behind every yucca."
I absolutely LOVE IT!!!!
A modern day Pancho Villa or the Mexican cartel's would never invade New Mexico because there would be:
"A Rifleman behind every yucca".

Behind every yucca! Thumbs up Tom
I took a picture of a paste up Alien Redcoat and attached if someone wants to make it the avatar. See attachment.
:)) That's a good one Captwa! Had me laughing first thing this morning. Very creative. :))

Yeah, that would be an ultra-cool patch.... maybe we could work it out somehow.
If I can steal the gif. that Fred uses and run the holes program backwards so they dissappear...
I'm sticking with " All the space your mind and rifle can use". Sorry Jerry, I can't help but think we knowwhat the program is about but what makes NM special?

Ok...I gotta say...Captwa, the photo...too funny. **)
Yep, too funny but everyone knows the only aliens we have are illegal. Great for our red coat targets, say on the last day especially here in Roswell...But they got to be green to be realistic! :)...O.L.
A rifleman behind every Yucca!! Best tagline ever.
Missouri is Jealous...

Take a greenie meanie (The green classifier AQT) and draw the murphey's square. Your good to go! **)
That would make a pretty cool state patch. The gf's mom has an embroidering machine. Don't know how they work, but does anyone have a problem with me asking her if she can make some?
Gideon
That would make a unique state patch. How about adding a yellow zia in the middle of the chest?

And what part of all this is supposed to be "easy"? :) Personally I'm not wearing the enemy unless it's in the form of a good sight picture. Aren't patches a different animal than tag lines?..O.L.

so, he needs to add crosshairs or a post.... sounds good to me.
Hehe! My bad! I was joking about the state patch thing. Personally I feel we are all part of Appleseed and that is the only association we need to flaunt. Everyone will know were from NM by the zeal we teach with, the precision with which we do things and of course the dried red chile on our shooting jacket where it fell while eating that burrito out at the range doesn't hurt either! ;D

Ok , taking time from cutting trees for my defensible space, I got inspired to make some adjustments. I couldn't find a yucca picture, but liked the line. Next idea up was "Red or Green" and that inspired a " seed" thought along with my past idea. Then there was the sight picture comment. Y'all are hitting on all 13 pistons now.
I am a resident alien here having come from NY to my new state. Legal, maybe. Ornery certainly!

Devnull, that makes me LOL
However, I do agree with the point that we should keep the focus Appleseed and not get too state specific with a patch or the Zia symbol.
Do we have a tagline yet with the ones listed or do we need to toss a few more around?
No hurry....

Well "A rifleman behind every yucca" seems to have the most support. How about a quick Yea or Nay vote?
YEA!
If we combine everything we sorta have "Aliens, Yucca and Riflemen everywhere you look!"
Thanks to CSHR for that!
Well, yea I guess from me and Strawberry. If we want a patch, I've got something in mind I'll draw up and post to see what folks think....O.L.

Shorty was going to mention "behind every cholla" since we have more of them than yucca , I pointed out the concealment difference..........she agreed. Two Aye! or Arggggh!( whatever landlubbers say) votes for Yucca.
I did crack myself up with the red or green. Time to get serious. Just look at the great notion we all have about voting on things. Must be something woven into that American cloth.

We had some remnants of cholla on the firing line. Some bits of dead stuff blew in. Nasty on the elbows and sticks to the shooting mats.
So the votes are leaning to the yucca quote.
Chris, since you are a mod do you have the powers to add the tagline?
Note the erie looking NM cammo....

I don't know. I've never looked! If not I know who to contact to get it done.
Shall we say we will leave it open for voting until Monday? (I'm going out of town at o' dark thirty tomorrow. Going to the left coast...) Once we have let there be a long enough period for folks to weigh in I'll get it done.

Draw 'pointy chins' on those targets, and they'll be perfect!
Yea for yucca O0
A Rifleman Behind Every Yucca
I vote Yea
Why not have it all? I like the "behind every yucca " for a tagline. That red or green? avatar could be effective for promo here in NM.
