Promotional Efforts to Date
See CT Promo Tracking (http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=23301.0)

Less than month away and but one shooter signed up? What gives, folks? Is anyone selling this shoot? We had some stated interest from some of the shooters at Guilford last weekend, including some who were really close to getting the patch, but there's no movement on registrations yet. Have we papered the usual places in central CT lately? Is anyone handy to the club to see if they have trifolds and posters? I'll call Tom Devito and see how things are going on his end. But we need a big push to get this one sold!!

Dan,

I have signed up as an IIT for both days.

Any movement on finding a Shoot Boss?

I will want to "trade up" to Instructor at this shoot - I am prepared to do the bulk of the instructing (and all the History if needed).

I will be available for range setup.

Be Safe

We're still working on a Shoot Boss - anyone who wants to step up, let me know. Well, let IS know, actually.

CaptMac reports that he's busily Seventh Stepping this one, and we had strong interest from at least three Guilford shooters who were knocking at the door. So I expect the numbers to come up, but we still need to push the promo hard on this. Please make sure you post this on any of the forums you frequent - that seems to be the best method we've found for filling the lines.

Ok, looks like this one is starting to rev up a little here. We still need an SB and a few more I/IITs. Who's going to step up, folks?

I can make it on one of the days, and possibly half of the other. I'll let you know by next week at the latest.

I will be there Saturday. 

Thanks all for stepping up!

BUT --

We REALLY need someone to help out at a promo op at HGC the week before. I'm still working on the details, but we have a chance to set up a table during HGC's Veterans Open House on Sunday 13-Nov-2011, from 10 to 3. It'll be full of vets and their families, and at just a week before the shoot, we should be able to sell those last spots on the line.

See http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=26176.0 for more details.

We're up to 9 shooters now - looks like last Sunday's promo at the club paid off some. Should be a cozy shoot on the newly reconfigured pistol range. Still plenty of room, though - sign up today!

PM sent. Nothing more to say really. See you all there!

All wrapped up. One new Rifleman, and 9 reborn Americans. Not a bad weekend's work. Thanks to the CT crew for pulling together for coverage. AAR started - http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=26327.0
