Why Come to an Appleseed Shoot? Read this...
Okay, you're ready. Maybe even excited.
So is Fred.
If we can get 100 thousand or more people started on the road to riflemen, that is a big step in the Appleseed Project.
Get 'em to shooting, and get 'em to recruitin' - that's the ticket to
saving this country.
Let's see, if we start with a hundred riflemen, and everyone would recruit one
person a month for 12 months, here's how the numbers pan out.
In one month, we double to 200 riflemen.
In two months, we double again to 400.
Month 3, we're up to 800.
Month 4, up to 1600.
Month 5, it's 3200 riflemen.
Month 6, , the half-way point, sees us at 6400.
The seventh month, and we're at 12,800.
The eighth month, 25,600.
Month 9, we hit 51,200.
Month 10, up to 102,400. ("Hey, Fred - that's those 'hundred thousand
riflemen' you say can save the country, if we can ever find 'em!")
Month 11, we're now up to 204,800.
And month 12, not too far shy of half-a-million, at 409,600.
Not bad for a year.
But people have to pull their weight.
Have to recruit one person a month.
To save the country?
Doesn't seem like much effort to put out for a noble cause like that, now, does it?
Of course, we can let the doubling process roll for another month and
hit 819,200. Heck, let's let it run an extra week after that, so we hit a cool ONE MILLION...
One million riflemen is a lot of people. Enough to swing the
balance of power in national elections.
Enough to get Congress to change the Pledge of Allegiance, so we
pledge allegiance to "one nation of riflemen, under God, etc".
Be nice, wouldn't it?
All you gotta do is recruit one person a month.
And yes, nearly forgot. You need to learn to shoot a rifle...
Then teach someone else.
One new person a month, that's all it takes.
It's why you're coming to an Appleseed Rifleman AQT Shoot.
Learning to shoot, learning to teach.
Shootin', and recruitin', right?
See you there.
