Well I never thought it would happen, but in the spring I left some tri-folds at the sign in table at the Spring Valley shooting range... that way people could pick them out while I wasn't out there promoting. Well I don't know how many got picked up, but a few weeks back I noticed they were gone (it had been a while) and I asked if I could leave some more. The response from the range boss was that the old ones got thrown away because nobody was taking them.
Moral of the story... well I'm not sure, but it certainly is more effective to hand them out in person! I was up there yesterday and got 3 more father/son pairs excited about attending!

This sounds like a serious opportunity to Appleseed the range boss! (Egads!)

It happens all of the time. Luckily, Ohio is in need of instructors more than ranges recently. We can get back to them once you have a hat which I expect you to have soon. ;)
Man...I wish I had those tri-folds! I'm out right now :(
Oh...and I didn't throw mine away ::)

Cannonsburg, Kentucky
New Philadelphia, Ohio
Gibsonburg, Ohio
Those are my next three weeks and I have about 100 trifolds. I will take what I have have to each event.
Not sure what direction you will be coming from, but when you head to New Philly, you might come past my range. We are located North of Zanesville on 146. If you are coming anywhere near there...I'll meet you someplace convenient and grab some. With all the work we have in store for us getting the range reday to re-open to the public, I won't be heading to an AS as much as I'd like to... :~

I am in Pennsylvania and will be traveling almost directly west on US-22 and US-250 from the Pittsburgh area. So, the closest that I will get to you is the Tusco Rifle Club. Feel free to come out, if only for part of a day, if you can.
Well, I doubt it...but you never know what life has in store!
