How might we reach out to the next generation and get them involved in NFOA?

We are on Instagram.

And Twitter

And Facebook

Even MeWe, even though that place is dead.

 Communicate to them using methods that kids use.  They do not read Internet forums, and Facebook is for Generation X and older.  Are we on instagram?

Any lead on who we might contact to set up a table or booth?

You might try contacting Jim Price in Doniphan. His Phone number is 402-462-0103. He owns and operates Price Sales and Production ( A gun store in Doniphan ).

While Jim is a great guy, and Two Rivers Gun Club was an early donor and supporter of the NFOA, they don’t have anything directly to do with the state trap meet. If interested in setting up something there it can be done if there are volunteers to man it, it is run by the Nebraska Game and Parks.

I wouldn’t mind helping if / if my kids are shooting there this year. I think the question then is... what does the Association plan on *doing* with a fresh list of young, active, gun enthusiasts? We could do lots of stuff like this like meet with the UNL campus Republicans, or other conservative campus groups. But how do we leverage those assets in the upcoming, wonderful time when Ernie is term-limited out and we can actually move the ball down the field?

Is there a plan to begin handing the torch over to smart, eager people from Generation Y? I’ve met many of you and we’re starting to get to that age ... you know .... like, where we could put some money in pool to bet on who’s having the next bypass surgery.  :laugh:

Getting people to sign up at a table is never the hard part.  Converting “prospects” into “sales” is what’s difficult.
