It is official as per the report given to me by Target Communications today, that the recent Deer & Turkey Classic Expos held in the four Midwestern States
of Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan and Ohio report a total of 88,300 people in attendance for those four venues in which Appleseed
hosted a display booth. I do hope we all see some benefit in registration growth for our 2011 shoots this year as a direct result.
I hope all states monitor the source of why the attendees came to an Appleseed shoot so we can have some identifiable marker
certainly for Fred's sake as he graciously funded this opportunity. It will most definitely help in planning for next year.
I know Illinois attendance was down 3000 due to market advertising by Target and them having changed locations from Bloomington to Peoria.

The individual States  break down of stats are listed here on the image I have posted.

Best regards,

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."  one who has not qualified himself with the M-16 may not be considered to be a responsible citizen."

-- Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) German Nazi Dictator
 

"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in
