The biggest hurdle I think for appleseed events is clubs that actually want to host a appleseed event. Then its actual participants the numbers are generally low on turn out at most events at the clubs around me.
all you need really is a few people from a club to take care of everything needed so apple seed can do their thing.

I cant remember ever seeing a appleseed shoot south east of boston?

Since Ive gotten my new rifle I have been looking into one of these. My biggest hurdle is finding one somewhat close to me. Havent seen one in central mass at all. I have the Marlin 60 but Id much rather my .308 as its my primary use for now.
Appleseeds are still doing well down my way. Seems that they Peter out after a while. Volunteers burn out, you have already developed most of your market so eventually that Peters out as well. These are not money makers by any means so it requires a lot of dedication from a lot of people.
We've done one on the cape (IIRC, Attilla helped get it organized), and one at Mansfield. We intend to return to Mansfield once they get repairs completed, but we're always happy to check out new places. If you've got a club in mind, drop a line to MA@appleseed dot org.
Lupis42's Appleseed at Harvard Sportsmen's Club on Patriots' Day weekend drew some 55 enthusiastic shooters.
Still plenty of space. Remember, this is an experiment. If we don't get people coming out for it the first time, there won't be a second.
There's also an Appleseed class coming up on the weekend of August 29 & 30 at Harvard Sportsmen's Club, details and registration info here https://appleseedinfo.org/search-states-location.php?locationid=205&id_event=3711.

Where are you located, and do you have a club willing to host?
Will likely be running the Mansfield one in October, plus Hopkinton in November.
