Great bunch of folks who show what a handful of dedicated Americans can do! Stay United!

Web sites with a Hoosier presence
IN Gun Owners -- http://ingunowners.com/forums/
AR 15.Com -- http://www.ar15.com/forums/forum.html?b=8&f=30

As I see it we need to do several things:
1 Pump up the attendance numbers, IN has a good foundation in place, we need to use that leverage
2 Get at least 1 more shoot scheduled, hopefully for Constitution Day weekend
3 Refine our marketing/networking plan, I like the 1500s as there is a large target audience but I am certainly welcome to alternatives
4 I would like everyone to be on the lookout for a piece of land for a designated Appleseed range
5 Lay out our 2009 goals -- 12-14 AS and 2-3 IBC, that's double this year

What say you?
Post other web links for Appleseed friendly groups like Liberty Writers and the 2AM Patriots and I'll put it here

What a nation has done, a nation can aspire to.
Dr. Jerry Pournelle

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck."

2 Questions

Are there other gun shows that we can go to?

What do we need in the land for a range?

You can go and set up at any gun show, the smaller ones it may be possible to get a table for reduced or no fee as a 501c3.  If nothing else, put on your Appleseed t-shiry and walk around talking to folks and leave a pile of flyers on a table.  There is also a BIG show in Louisville that we might split with the KY folks.  If you find a good one, post it and if you want some help mannning a table, post it and ask for volunteers to help.

As far as land: fairly flat, safe backstop, hopefully already there and no close neighbors.  If it is for sale something cheap per acre unless someone here has deep pockets and wants to donate to a 501c3.
