Oh Boy,

We have a clear cut LOSER! Illinois is the only state in our region with out a sell out. I am just befuddled ... and evidently, so is Illinois because they can't seem to put one in the WIN column.

You guy's let Janir whoop your ass and kick dirt on you? Fella's come on, where's your pride?

Other SC's please take this opportunity to lay it on thick while you have the chance, because I know Laredo would if he were winning.

You know...  While technically, the Eagle is in Wi...  It is an Illinois SB that sold that puppy out!

I think that should be a win for Il.  LOL   :P

DrRichP,

Now see what you started?  Is it Il, is it Wisconson's, ah, glad I don't have to decide.   ;D

Janir

Ok, I was a bit disheartened that I've only got one sell out in IN, but looking this over I'm the same as the rest of ya and I've only got 3 total events so by scheduled capacity... I'm a FULL 1/3 SOLD OUT of my events in Indiana! 
And I'm actually over sold at Elwood by 2 to boot... :-P

" - Janir

Wow. While Guntuckian drew first blood this year selling out Knob Creek, perenial powerhouse Wisconsin has started to pull away from the pack with it's second sellout this year, leaving everyone else with 1 (except of course for Illinois who is still sitting on their goose egg). It make this sportscaster wonder if anyone can help Illinois find their way to a sell out. ::) I guess there's a reason they make short buses.

And then it happened. Illinois got the stink off the state and now has a sell out. Great job team IL. I think you'll find you like having sold out events.

Nevertheless, Martin has still set the bar, leading the pack with 2 sell outs. I wounder who is going to challenge for the lead? Who will be happy to eat dust? Can Michigan find a win this year? Let's see what happens.

The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.

What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value."   T Paine

Steel Thunder and ITB have struck another blow selling out their second event in Watervliet, MI April 16-17, 2016 sending a clear message to Wisconsin and the rest of the region that they are a force to be reckoned with.

And just like that Wisconsin slaps back with it's third sell out (Racine, WI  May 21-22, 2016) and their darn close to having their 4th sell out in Lodi, WI April 16-17, 2016 (35/36).

You should have heard Martin's voice as he gloated with laughter  ;D when he told me.  Snatching victory from MI. "Oh the humanity ..." :'(

Can anyone stop Wisconsin? Who has the guts to make a challenge? Will Michigan take this lying down? Will another challenger to the throne cast out the usurper's? Stay tuned! Same bat-time. Same bat-channel.

I told you Wisconsin was close to having a fourth sell out. We'll they've done it. Thirty-six spots sold out in Lodi, WI April 16-17, 2016. Yup, nothing wrong with the size of Martin's hands.

Wisconsin has been fast out of the gate racking up 4 sell outs in the first third of the year, but Corvette says slow and steady wins the race. I'd love to know what Michigan says, but they've been stifled ... momentarily. Let's not forget IN, KY, and IL. Any one could stage a come back.

Well done Team Wisconsin! and Well done so far for Team Great Lakes. Keep up the great work, it is very much appreciated!

Just when MI was feeling safe in second place and planning their strategy to take the lead from WI, Ohio let's them know they think MI is easy prey, scoring their second sell out of the year and tieing it up.

The race heats up. How will MI answer? Will they answer, or fold up like a cheap suit? Perhaps there will be another challenger to the thrown?

Stay tuned readers, this is just starting to get interesting.

Well done Team Ohio! Keep up the great work!

Just when it looked like there may be no stopping the WI empire, Kentucky Strikes Back. Kentucky scored first blood with the first sell out of our region. Martin and team Wisconsin responded by selling out 4 events. Most impressive!

Now, Kentucky has sold out 2 more events bringing its total this year to 3; but wait, there's more. They also have a 36 person waiting list. They have decided to double their capacity for 2 upcoming events. Gary asks if he has a double sell-out, will it be counted as 2?  Hmmm, I'd have to say yes. So the Guntuckian may be looking at 5. And the hits just keep rolling, Guntuckian's event in Jackson, KY September 10-11, 2016 is ALMOST sold out (21/24), which could make it 6.

How will WI react? Does IL even know there's a contest going on? Steel Thunder and the MI folks are like a spring under tension ready to pop. Ohio poised for a comeback, and Indiana is also gaining momentum with a lot of new ranges on the horizon and a lot of new shooters pledged.

Stay tuned boys and girls, it's just getting interesting

And it's all tied up!

You read it right. Team Kentucky has SOLD OUT Jackson, KY September 10-11, 2016. They have tied it up at 4 each for Wisconsin and Kentucky; however, Kentucky is working on double sell-outs for 2 of their Knob Creek events. This could spell disaster for Martin and team Wisconsin.

Not to be outdone, team Wisconsin is at 31/35 in Racine, WI June 11-12, 2016. A couple of weeks left to sell just 4 spots. Can they do it, or will they choke? Martin says his team will be the first to sell out 5 in the Great Lakes Region.

Meanwhile Team Ohio is sneaking up the back steps with 20/26 sold Liberty Center, OH June 4-5, 2016. We could be looking at their next sell out.

The tension is so thick we can cut it with a knife. Who has the pride and know-how to take it all. Let's see as the titans battle it out.

The battle is not over! Martin and Team Wisconsin have counter punched Guntuckian and Team Kentucky by selling out Racine, WI June 11-12, 2016. That puts them ahead … barely. They've now raised the ceiling for the Racine event and are prepared to run relays just as Kentucky is doing in Knob Creek.

However, Kentucky is well poised to DOUBLE SELL-OUT Knob Creek, KY September 10-11, 2016 with only 13 spots to sell in the next 3 months (31/44).

One thing is clear as the battle rages on, and that is IN and IL are at the concession stand sucking down hot dogs. I hope they get back and get in the game. God help us all.

Well done Martin and Team Wisconsin, and to all of our Great Lakes Teams. We're rocking this out first half of the year, now let's kick it into high gear in the final home stretch.

Team Kentucky is working on getting several more new venues on the schedule for this year.  Also, we have started a new challenge, too.  Namely, we have now had two events at Boaz where we discovered 100% Riflemen present with their Kentucky rifles among the participants.  Quality has a number all its own!

Also, Team Kentucky has been making considerable progress in farming new indoor ranges for Appleseeds and Pistolseeds, too. When the rest of you go dormant with winter, Team Kentucky will be indoors, toasty and warm, minting new Patriots.  It's gonna be great!

And, the demand at Jackson, KY is growing, too.  Can we run relays there, too?  Time will tell!

Indiana Comes Alive. Who is Peter Frampton?  ???

Yes, Janir and Team Indiana have just scored their second sell out for the year at Evansville October 22-23, 2016 threatening to overtake MI and OH while simultaneously leaving Illinois dead last in the region.

Has anyone checked the heart monitor in Illinois? Are they still alive? Are they on life support? Do I need to call the time of death?

HOLY CARP, Indiana isn't done yet.

In addition to just selling out another event, in Evansville, Janir and Team Indiana have just signed up a new range (Deer Creek Conservation Club of Grant County in Jonesboro, IN) and have posted  a new AS event for August  13 & 14 2016 too!

Janir just seems to be kicking more dirt on Illinois as he laughs his tush off. **)

Will Illinois respond? Can they respond?  :slap: Who is next on Janir's list? ???

Stay tuned to see the battle rage on in the later rounds. :pop:

Seriously, great job Team Indiana. We (especially your Great Lakes Region SC teammates) are all proud to see you rebuilding a great Appleseed tradition in Indiana. Keep up the good work!

You guys gotta stop this!

You're making the rest of the country look bad.

On second thought, don't stop this. Please!  Make the rest of the country look bad enough and maybe we'll get off our butts and start start selling out shoots, too...

Yes, I went there. :slap:

What can I say, there seems to be a blood bath coming. Corvette and Team Ohio are getting ready to open up a can of whoop a$$ on the rest of the region. This could be all she wrote. $$-0 

Adding to the 2 sell outs they already have, Ohio has another 5 events that are on the verge of being SOLD OUT

•   Piqua June 18-19, 2016 (18/22),  only4 spots left
•   Wilmington July 16-17, 2016 (20/24), only 4 spots left with more than a month to go
•   Marion July 30-31, 2016 18/20), only 2 spots left with more than a month to go
•   Vienna August 6-7, 2016 (17/25), 8 spots left with more than 2 months to go
•   Wilmington October 29-30, 2016 (17/22), 5 spots left with more than 3 months to go

Five more sell-outs and Team Ohio is firmly in the lead. We may have to start calling it the Buckeye Region if that happens. :))

I hope the rest of the states in the region have plans to keep Ohio from being supreme. Don't fade out in the back stretch boys, there's plenty of Appleseed still left to play. The best of the best hasn't been decided yet.

Michigan, stop drinking the water in Flint and get back into this.
Illinois, the light at the end of the tunnel is not an oncoming train. Go to the light.

Be creative folks, pull out all the stops. Your state's pride is on the line. Win for your state! O0

OK, it wasn't a sellout, but Danville, IL last weekend sold 25 of 30 available.

The Buckeye Offensive has begun!

We saw it coming. Team Ohio has sold out Piqua, June 18-19, 2016, AND Marion, July 30-31, 2016.

Corvette and his team tell me Wilmington in two weeks only needs 2 more to sellout.

Look at this:
•  Wilmington July 16-17, 2016 (22/24), only 2 spots left
•  Vienna August 6-7, 2016 (17/25), only 8 spots left
•  Gibsonburg, OH October 22-23, 2016 (10/30) 1/3rd sold out already.
•  Wilmington October 29-30, 2016 (18/22), only 4 spots left

They are poised to rack up an astonishing 8 sell outs this year.

"Take that Kentucky! Wisconsin ... you're next!" says Corvette.

Folks, don't get run over by a Corvette. There will be no living with him. Make something happen. Please! :sos:

Wisconsin Responds to the challenge!

Just when it was looking good for Ohio to pull ahead in the contest, Wisconsin says Badgers eat Buckeyes and Blue Grass. They've added another sell out to their impressive list. Racine, WI August 20-21, 2016 is SOLD OUT boosting them to 6 sell out for the year.

Can Kentucky come back? Can Ohio keep their momentum and take it from all the other states? Can Illinois recover from the coma their in? :-[ We'll see.

Well, Janir and Team Indiana have responded. They've sold out LaPorte, IN July 9-10, 2016 leaving Michigan and Illinois in the dirt and setting their sights on Ohio and Kentucky.

Can the 'strong' Michigan cadre stage a comeback?

Will Prince Charming kiss Illinois and awake them from their eternal slumber? Stay tuned.

Yes, Ohio has broken the chains that bound them to Kentucky with 4 sell-outs each to emerge with 5 sold out events adding Wilmington, OH July 16-17, 2016 to their list of sell our successes.

Now they are just one sell out away from tying it up with Wisconsin, and two away from taking sole possession of first place ... and they can do it. Vienna, OH August 6-7, 2016 (20/25) and Wilmington, OH October 29-30, 2016 (20/22) are close, as well as a few others.

Can Wisconsin score another sell out to maintain the lead? Can Kentucky come back and show that Buckeyes are no better than Blue Grass? What about Indiana? Michigan may not be out of this yet, Watervliet, MI October 15-16, 2016 is already 2/3rds sold out with plenty of time left on the clock.

Corvette says it doesn't matter what any of them try, 'resistance is futile'. Great team effort.

This is like watching NASCAR, can't wait to see who wins, and with morbid curiosity we can't wait to see who crashes and burns. Still plenty of race left. Good luck all.

"There's the windup, and there it is, a line shot up the middle Look at him go. This boy can really fly! He's rounding first and really turning it on now, he's not letting up at all, he's gonna try for second; the ball is bobbled out in center, and here comes the throw, and what a throw! He's gonna slide in head first ..."

Okay, I may be a Meatloaf fan. I'm definitely a Scooter fan; and I'm a fan of Ohio now as well.

Team Ohio has just SOLD OUT ANOTHER APPLESEED in Vienna. This brings them tied with Wisconsin and puts them on top of the score board; but they're not done!  Corvette writes (and I quote): "Look out, we got another one.  Knock, knock Wisconsin, don't look over your shoulder.   ;D. Got my eye on a couple more that we plan to push over the line as well.  We ain't done yet."

What can I say?  ???

"This kid really makes things happen out there. Batter steps up to the plate, here's the pitch-he's going, and what a jump he's got He's trying for third, here's the throw, it's in the dirt-safe at third! Holy cow, stolen base!"

Hmm. How will Martin and team Wisconsin respond?

Is there still time for Kentucky to stage a come back?

"He's taking a pretty big lead out there, almost daring him to try and pick him off. The pitcher glances over, winds up, and it's bunted, bunted down the third base line, the suicide squeeze is on! Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close, here's the throw, here's the play at the plate. Holy Cow!"

Laredo in Illinois says they're planning to kick dirt on Michigan pretty soon. We'll see. :pop:

How is this going to turn out?

"Let me sleep on it. Baby, baby, let me sleep on it. I'll give you an answer in the morning."

It seems Corvette stated it best, so here it is:

Quote from: Corvette on July 27, 2016, 06:36:46 PM
DrRichP,

I am pleased to share with you on behalf of all the Ohio Shoot Bosses, that we have sold out the November shoot in Wilmington.  That puts Ohio solely in the lead in the Region with the most sold out shoots.

My HUGE thanks to all the Ohio SB's, Instructors and IITs for helping make this possible.  I have the pleasure of working with one GREAT TEAM and we are working hard to make that team larger. 

GREAT JOB OHIO.

Now, lets get the fall Marion shoot sold out next and add one more on the list.

Corvette

I could not agree more! Huge thanks and praise to team Ohio! I'm in awe.
