Title: thinking forward
Post by: smoakingun on March 23, 2012, 04:11:58 PM
Comming this october, there is a fall festival in windsor, fl. (That's near gainesville). It was suggested to me last year that maybe I should set up a booth for appleseed. This is a carnival type event where local churches set up games and give candy to the kids. The thinking goes that I should set up some kind of applesed gallery, maybe shot with bb guns? Does anyone out here have any experience with, or ideas for this kind of stuff?

I'd done a preparedness expo back in Feb where we setup a small shooting range with hay bale backers. We had a few Daisy BB guns. Man, was that popular. It was non stop shooting. The kids, and a few adults, had a blast.

And while the kids are busy shooting you have a captive audience with the parents standing there. Good time for 7th stepping.

Ask NHale or his Brother Bruce, they held our IBC a couple years ago now but, also have a lot of scaled down targets,I did not see the hits count!
ASK him he may have whats needed, and just never needed that target!

This is a great idea... I'm going to share it with folks from my state... this may be something that we could do at local 4-H fairs (if allowed), if not, possibly at other events.  Good thinking  O0
