It's been reported this Tennessee  gentleman has over 1 million regular subscribers to his you tube channel .
   http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lXh4Qhmt3xA

In this segment he shoots examples of rifles  beginning with the flintlock and ending with the M16 .

I looked through his many videos and did not see a reference to the " Appleseed program " possibly this could be an opportunity to get us more national attention .

He is an reportedly an active member of www.CALGUNS.net  although I've not searched his posts and have no idea of how active he is on the worlds largest online gun forum ?

Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

Hickock's announced four opportunities for the public to meet with him.  The meet-and-greets are all at gun shops in Kentucky and Tennessee:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bscKopwYyuQ

Since I live in Nashville, I'm going to see about meeting Hickock in Joelton.  TNOutdoors9 will likely be there as well.  Though I'm not sure how many subscribers TN has he's also huge in the YouTube-o-sphere.  Either one of them could really be a boon to our cause.

A follow-up:  I met Hickok and his son John at last Saturday's meet-and-greet.  Hickok probably won't be joining us.  He's got his hands full doing what he does, which I completely understand.  Appleseed is MY way of "paying it forward" and Hickok's got his own train already well on track!

I also got to meet another YouTube hero - TNOutdoors9.  He was looking through the list of dates and locations that I'd handed out with a bit of self-interest - TN's getting serious now with distance rifle shooting.  He's also an 18th cousin of Paul Revere.   O0

Look out for Tommy, and catch some of this videos while you're at it; he's the man when it comes to truly informative terminal ballistics testing:
