Do you wear your Appleseed stuff at events and around in general public? I always wear my Appleseed sport shirt at all shooting events that I compete in and also the T-shirts around town. You'd be surprised how many people you can engage in a conversation with. In addition, I always request at competitions that I get a little time during the safety briefing to promote Appleseed and how it can help your overall marksmanship. Here's a video of me at yesterday's three gun match, where I spoke to at least a dozen people about attending the October Appleseed at this club.

I love my Appleseed T Shirts. My Hoodie too, though few have asked. It seems that when I tell them what it is, they want to believe we are re-enactors. Mostly from the 1860's #) . It turns out, pretty much everyone up here in da nort' woods uh Michigan "already knows how to shoot" :---
half of the students at the Oscoda event were from Fenton! ;)
Did I see you at the Region 3 Conference on Sat, D.O.M.?
I was there. Fly-Boy was there too. He was called up to speak about the Alcona CERT program, and his experiences being a teen in CERT.
I also saw and spoke with someone who attended one of the Fenton events. He goes by "Webster" on the forums.
It seems that Appleseed folks have a strong showing in community involvement O0
Where were you sitting? With MCSAR?
