    Appleseed is looking for new host ranges - bounty offered

    Folks,

    As the State Coordinator for Appleseed, it's my job to keep us growing in leaps and bounds. We had 2 events in 2009, 7 in 2010 and 18 in 2011. My goal is to double in 2012, which is 36 events.

    Anyone who hooks us up with a range will be eligible to collect a "bounty."

    It goes like this: Put us in touch with someone (preferably a board member) at a club, and when we schedule our first events there, you will receive up to FOUR FREE ADMISSIONS (excepting range fees - gotta help the host range) to our events there. You can attend with a friend or family member there for two separate events, or you can bring three friends/family to one event.

    We're especially interested in finding host ranges in Detroit metro (Wayne, Washtenaw, Oakland, Macomb counties), and ranges in the Grand Rapids/Muskegon/Kalamazoo area.

    Please contact myself or Swamp Thing either here or on the Appleseed forum.

    Thanks!

    PS - Board members of any club, can attend any Appleseed in Michigan at no charge. We welcome and encourage you to come out and see what we do and what we're about. Just PM me for details.

    Current ranges excluded from the bounty:

    Centerline of Calhoun
    Watervleit Rod and Gun Club
    Eaton Rapids Conservation Club
    Post 46
    Lapeer County Sportsmens Club
    Houghton Lake Sportsmans Club
    Fenton Lakes Sportsmans Club

    I wish I knew Photoshop

    This is a HECK of an offer Folks!

    The Appleseed Instructors are top notch and their safety protocols are second to none.

    We have had several shoots at Lapeer and I have been present at them all. Two of My grandsons have participated and the third [ten Y/O] will be shooting in Dec. I wouldn't trust their safety to the Appleseed Instructors if I wasn't confident that they are beyond reproach.

    First bounty has been paid out! Appleseed is coming to Muskegon in 2012.

    Thanks to 1911_guy for hooking us up with Muskegon Pistol and Rifle Club for the weekends of 5/5-5/6/12 and 8/25-8/26/12. That's an awesome facility with a 300-yard range and 12 pop-up targets. Great opportunity for some KD work.

    Keep 'em coming folks! We need more new ranges to host us.

    I've suggested to a BoD member of the Oakland County Sportsman's Club (OCSC- where I'm a member), that this would be a good event to host.

    I'll let you know what happens

    Hey, thanks! We'd be happy to come to a board meeting to speak with the BOD to make our "pitch" and answer any questions. Just let me know - I'm in southern Oakland county.

    Do you currently host anything in the UP besides Cornell? Is that still your area? I am in touch with 4 or 5 clubs regularly in the western UP on a regular basis as I instruct up there every 6 weeks. I have contacts at Alpha Gun Club in Crystal Falls, United Sportsmans Club in Merriman just north of Iron Mountain, Sagola Sportsmans Club in Channing, and Negaunee Rod and Pistol Club in Negaunee.
