wow!  Yup at least 3 are from the connection I made to the D.A.R.

I have 8-10 people telling me they are registering but......

Selling fast and furious now! Six slots sold today alone. Whatever you're doing - keep doing it! And put it in a bottle so the rest of us can use it. O0

Two more today! Got an email from one of them re: a loaner. Email enroute to Vernic.

Looks like Vernic is going to need a hand out in Chaplin. Who's going to step up?

Nice jump overnight - three more shooters! Plus I heard from a couple of UConn shooters who want to go, but need rifles.

Now, we're not going to let these dozen or so outstanding Americans down, are we? Who's going to step up and help Vernic82 out?

~~:) ~~:)

TOMINCT will be making the trip out to Chaplin to help Vernic82 out :bow:

Anyone else want to keep them company?

Thanks Tom!!

Now we're hauling them in - up to 14 shooters! Sounds like fun. Anyone else going to sign up to work this one?

Two weeks out and 16 shooters signed up! Almost half way to a sellout! Let's keep the momentum going!!

And let's not leave all the glory to Tom and Fred! C'mon, Connecticut - step up!!

Only a dozen more shooters and this will be another CT sell-out!  ^:)^

I hear Fred's secret selling point has been to promise shooters autographed stills from his recent TV spot.  :))

Now that we're up to 23, let's get Fred and Tom some help. CJ stepped up for Sunday - who's going to pitch in on Saturday?

Only 8 slots left!! Are we going to have a sellout here? You bet!! Let's stay with it - less than a week to go!!

ONLY FOUR SLOTS LEFT!!!  :cool2:

Yeah, Eventbrite says two, but I checked with TruT and there are two RWVA memberships. But still...

ONLY FOUR SLOTS LEFT!!!  :cool2:

And this from a shoot that didn't appear that it was going to sell ANY slots a mere couple of weeks ago. Good work, everyone!

And just a little heads up on what works for promotions - eight of the shooters listed "a friend or relative " as how they heard about AS. Only two listed the TV news spot - sorry, Fred and Mac. Five shooters listed an Appleseed volunteer as how they heard  O0, and four were through a gun club's newsletter.

Let's go! Keep up the good work and let's make this CTs biggest sellout since I-can't-remember-when!!

Ladies and gentlemen...

WE HAVE ANOTHER SELLOUT!!!


This is the third sellout for CT so far this year!! And it's a huge line by CT standards - 35 shooters. If I'm not mistaken, this will be the biggest shoot in CT since October 2010 at Blue Trail. Fred was Shoot Boss for that one, too, IIRC.

Way to go, Team CT! Let's try to apply the same magic to Blue Trail - still a bunch of slots left for that one, and if we sell it out, we'll be 4 for 5 in 2012 sellouts.

But first, let's put on a heck of a shoot for these 35 eager Americans.

I will be there for Sat with my usual collection. I have spoken w/Fred so he knows. I will post today w/instructor scheduling. Looks like a great crowd. It is becoming very obvious that we will be full at ALL our events this year.
Check me off for "Fred" duty! Phil
