In this informal, improvised video, Brooke Cheney, the instructor of Great Start Shooting School, announces a birthday‑month giveaway tied to August Google reviews. She walks viewers through the "prize table," describing each item – stickers from H&K and NSSF, bore tips for .22, 9 mm, and .357 firearms, bracelets, various t‑shirts (women’s medium, men’s large/XL), hats from Icor and Ruger, Crossbreed Holsters thermal bags, United We Stand and Aiming for Zero shirts, safety kits, and Shoot‑and‑See targets. Cheney explains that anyone who left a Google review for the school in August is entered; the winner will be selected by a simple live drawing (names placed in a hat) on the upcoming Wednesday or Thursday. The tone is casual, conversational, and enthusiastic, with occasional technical hiccups (mic muting). The video serves both as a preview of the giveaway prizes and a reminder of the entry method.

Ooh, I muted the wrong one. Or did I mute the right— wrong one? Oh wow, just like that. All right, so this is officially like the craziest way that I've done this. Hopefully you can hear me. I know this wasn't planned, so I got two cameras going, one here and one there. So hopefully the mute that— the mic that I have muted, y'all can still hear. If not, hey, I'll go back and I'll just, uh, delete it or something. All right, so here's the deal. August was my birthday month and my daughter's birthday month, and we hopped on, uh, my newsletter for Great Start Shooting School came out, and I said, okay, It's birthday month, and for birthday month, I want to give stuff away. So for birthday month, it's gone. And I got a whole bunch of folks to, um, what's that called? Yeah, make reviews on my site for Google reviews for Great Start Shooting School. So I put together the prize table. And so this is sort of like their surprise as far as what's on the prize table. And I'm making this video— it's going to be really short, ideally, um, just to show everybody what's on the prize table, because then I'm going to do a live drawing tomorrow night instead, or maybe Thursday, I'm not sure. But I'm going to send this video to all of the people on my list so they know what they're getting. Now, when I said this is super fancy, it's because I'm gonna have to figure out how to do this. All right, let's see. Ready? We're going to the prize table. Y'all ready for this? Okay, so here's what's on the prize table. We have stickers. H&K. I like funny ones like this: Warning, driver only carries about $20 worth of ammunition. Let's see, owner of this property is armed and prepared to protect life, liberty, and property from criminal attack. There is nothing inside worth risking your life for, from our Second Amendment Foundation. Ruger Tandem Cross. Then our friends at NSSF gave us a bunch of stickers, so handguns, shotguns, hunting, turkey hunting, all that fun stuff. I have some bore tips. So this is where it's going to get complicated because I'm going to do a drawing and I don't know what— if they wouldn't like the bore tips, what size guns they have. So I've got.22 and 9mm and.357. I believe I've got, uh, what are these bracelets? This is one of mine from, uh, Aiming for Zero. Then I have Walk the Talk America. I haven't given away any of those for a while. The problem with my t-shirts, we've got sizes. So this is a small, or actually it's a medium, but it's a woman's medium. Never depend on a man. Then of course we've got some hats. Icor, Ruger, in all different colors. National Shooting Sports, NSSF, has donated these for the month of August. And then of course now we have some shirts that are in large, which are, you can't buy happiness but you can buy ammo. And that's kind of the same thing. That one is an extra large. I have a nice little bag here and it's got the Second Amendment, um, from, uh, who is this, Crossbreed Holsters. And it's just, it's just a bag, there's no holster in it, but I just have— I have a bunch of these because I bought a bunch of Crossbreed breeds. So I just, I just love this. So everyone's going to get a bag. Everyone's getting a bag because they sent us bags. And for those of you who go shopping, these are actually really nice thermal bags and they're really big. United We Stand, Aiming for Zero shirt and safety kits because we also want to get people to bring their friends. Now, obviously most of my students already have Um, hey Mario, I just saw that you, you said something. Oh, targets. Yes, who doesn't need targets? But we got the shoot and see targets as well. So that is that. Let me see if I can stop the Blair Witch Project here for y'all. Okay, so that is the plan, Stan. Um, that's the prize table, and I hope this is the mic and I hope it's actually working. Uh, so Tomorrow— today is Tuesday— Monday. Today's Monday. All right, so my plan was for Wednesday night, so that's really 2 days away. But anyway, there's our prize table. Uh, everyone who left me a review in August, I'm gonna draw their name. I already have their names. I'm, I'm literally going to be putting it in a hat and drawing it because I don't know how to do the fancy stuff y'all do online with the spinny wheels and stuff. So Um, that's how that's gonna go. So look out for that live. Mario, thanks for stopping in. And I am out of here. And because I've got on two places, I don't know if it's gonna close both places, so it might
