Title: Gun Show Schedule (AKA; Promotions Possibilities!)

Gun Show Schedule (AKA; Promotions Possibilities!

Patriot Gal and I did a test run with our new Multi media set up for the next gun show.
It simply rocks!!! ^:)^

The 24 inch HP monitor display with full stereo and sub woofer generates a powerful attention grabbing effect.
The one video is emotionally evocative for sure, especially with the theme song 'the Promenade' from Last of the Mohican's is dubbed over.
No doubt this is going to have a strong impact on the public at our next gun show.  We can hardly wait.
HP makes a great flat screen. Picture quality is stunning. I saw and noticed more detail than I ever did before.
Looking at longer tables now to take since we will have to provide our own. This gun show is most important as it
draws from southern Illinois due to the Deer and Turkey Classic spill over. I am told by sources that it should prove to be a significant weekend. O0

Mounting targets on special black foam core board for display and will strategically place a few once inch squares for our staff to
reference when talking with people without disadvantage of being blocked from view.

We have a large cache of literature so we are looking good for material me thinks.

Cheers,

CM

Not directly related to the above, but a promotion possibility...

In the March issue of GunNews, coming out this week, I've got a page and a half article about the growth of the AS program in Illinois. 

I made a graphic (still figuring out how to import it here) with a nice border around it that summarizes this year in Illinois in about a quarter page. 

Here's the text from that graphic:

Is it possible to post a link to the video that y'all will be using for this event?

Also, if you can take some pics of the table setup so others might emulate what y'all are doing.

Good luck.


Thanks!
