Women's Expo Raffle AND Bonus Drawing for showing up!

In this live-stream hosted by Brooke Cheney of A Great Start Shooting School, the presenter recaps the recent Women's Expo, promotes the school’s training programs, and conducts a multi‑prize raffle for online viewers. The host mentions various class offerings (Find Your Perfect Gun, gun handling & shooting, private range time, pistol permit courses) with pricing, and explains how viewers can enter the giveaway by commenting. A digital wheel selects winners for several $25, $50, and $100 training certificates, as well as merchandise tied to the Aiming for Zero/Active Heroes initiative (t‑shirts, a pink flamingo hat). The host calls out participants by name, records winners, and outlines follow‑up steps such as sending prize details, providing coupon links for a “bring‑a‑friend” discount, and future live or pre‑recorded events. The tone is informal, enthusiastic, and community‑focused, aiming to boost engagement, collect contact information, and drive enrollment in shooting courses.

Uh, so people will think I'm talking to myself because you muted yourself. Oh no, so you won't know that I'm talking to you. But anyway, yes, so it is 8 o'clock and poof, there's at least one more person watching besides you, DJ. And, um, yeah, so I spent yesterday and this afternoon inputting all of the names from the Women's Expo this weekend. Hey, Uncle John, I saw you wished us good luck today, so glad you could join us. Oh wait, I gotta adjust my thing a little bit because, you know, if G23 happens to stop in, you know, I'm placing stuff so he knows it's in my office, that sort of thing. So yeah, so this past weekend I did my first ever Women's Expo for A Great Start Shooting School. We of course also had DC Project. I haven't unpacked yet, so I don't have my normal little sign here. So it was great fun and meeting a bunch of people and talking about DC Project, talking about education, talking about a great start to shooting school and training and the importance of all of that. And of course I had to have something that would bribe folks to give me their information. And so, uh, last week was a bit crazy getting to the expo because it was my first one. I was so very unorganized, uh, but very excited because I have all new stuff, um, which of course I'm looking around, but I cleaned my desk up real quick. So y'all hold on, I'll be right back. I have to grab something real quick just because I am like so excited about all this stuff. So for those of you who went to the expo, you might have picked up one of these This is my— oh yay, Fiona is here. We can start the party, except her name is not in here because she already got a free gift because she was with me all day Saturday. So some of y'all got the new handgun. If you win one of the— how many am I giving away? 4, 5, 6, 7 gift certificates I'm giving away tonight. Um, you might want to buy your Find Your Perfect Gun. Class because it lets you figure out what is really a good gun for you. So that is one of the classes that you might want to apply your, um, gift certificate to. Now some of you grabbed this, which is my new handy-dandy trifold. So much fun, at least for me, because it's been a while since I've had anything redone like this. Find Your Perfect Gun information all right there. Then there is probably one of the most popular, the gun handling and shooting. Uh, that one is $85. The find your perfect gun is $85. I love it when new students come and start with these guys because they are 90-minute classes. So, um, so there's that. And then of course private range time, and then all the pistol permit stuff is over here. Yeah, I don't know how to work a camera and holding stuff in front of it. So even a QR code if you got this, but you're online right now. So just go to agsss.com. Oh yeah. Although Fiona, now that you've commented, I have another handy dandy little tool that's going on right now. So anyone who makes a comment while we are live will get entered into the end of this broadcast. Um, pick. And so I've got some random things over here that I'm going to give away. Hello to Live Moo. Um, all right, so wait a second. So I realized when I did this earlier, I, I didn't, uh, like show anything, so the folks on the YouTube side can't see who the heck I'm talking about. So I've got DJ Play Nice, who's also here, uh, DJing with me. He's my co-sponsor here. Uh, Uncle John, who checked in earlier this morning. And then my ever so loving student Fiona, who I think she had a great time on Saturday talking to a bunch of you who are in this drawing. And To Live Moo for her thumbs up. And he beat G Webs, you know, sometimes that's a thing. And then of course MK Gel, because you know, it wouldn't be right if MK Gel was not here. All right. So that is everybody who was here. Oh yes. And my final thing that I was super excited about getting this together, cause this was literally last, last minute. Um, was a, a plan to how to get actual training. So a lot of people like, ooh, um, oh, what do you call it? Um, I've got my permit. I'm like, yes, see, you passed your permit. Now what? And so I'm all excited because I kind of gave folks an outline on how to go about getting some more training. Now, of course, y'all don't have to come to me, but if you win a gift certificate, I'm thinking you just might want to come and use your gift certificate here. So hello, Miss Tara. Oh, that's the wrong one. Oh yeah, but if you want to answer my question about was it, um, yeah, thanks DJ. Oh, I'm going back here now. We're both clicking stuff. Um, about Saturday was a great day. She, it was, it was great to have her there. Um, and now we can say hi to Tara. Sorry, my bad. All right, I'll stop clicking things. I'll let my, uh, my sidekick here do that. All right, except then I'm gonna click on things. All right, so it's 8:06. I am generally a person who really wants to start on time. I did click the play at 8, but I figure, you know, yeah, we all have life going on. So we're gonna start. We've got— when I tell you— 4, 5, 6, 7 gift certificates to give away. Over $300 in gift certificates are getting away tonight. So I'm super excited about this because I've never done anything like this. And I don't know, Barbecue said he was going to be here, but um, and for those of you who missed— oh, so Tara— oh yeah, so sorry. So she asked, what do you have supposed to type? I actually changed it. So I found out that if I don't put anything in the what you're supposed to type, just because you commented, you're automatically entered. So like right now I have 6 entries for all of you who have said something. So, um, yes, and actually, yes, see, MK Joe is paying attention. Any comment gets you good. Gets you in good. And regarding the QR code, greatstartshootingtool.com will bring you to lots of that information. All right, so drum roll. I'm all excited. All right, there's 8 of you watching. I only have 4 contestants, or, you know, what did I say I have for entries? I got 6 entries, so 2 of y'all need to say something. All right, here we go. Where is it? There it is. First time for everything. Here's my spinny wheel, and apparently there's no way— sorry, I have to do this. Who wouldn't care what's not good? Gallon of Rocky Road, 6-pack of Miller, and Bon Jovi cranked really loud until, of course, you had to listen to me. Oh, G Web's number 4, he's lagging. All right, sorry, I digress. Here is— I got 64 folks to stop by, say yes, they'd like to win. So I'm actually gonna go full screen because it looks so tiny. I wish I could make it bigger. Hold on, can I make it bigger? Sort of, kinda. That might be too big. All right, well, we'll try it, see what happens. Are y'all ready? Here's the first $25 gift certificate, and it is going to Antonia. Oh, and here's the cool thing, um, I'm writing it down so that I don't remember— I don't forget who got who. So now I'm gonna hide that choice, um, and everybody had a unique first name that signed up. So for 64 people, I think that's pretty cool. So congratulations, Antonia, you have a $25 gift certificate. Ready? Here we go. Who gets the next one? And yeah, we were discussing, we wish we could figure out a way to make it quicker. Ah, Eleanor, congratulations, you've got the second $25 gift certificate. All right, third $25 gift certificate, here we go. And it is— all right, I don't know, Kaylee, Kylie. I'm not sure. When I call her or email her, I will find out how to say her name properly. It wasn't all got girls though. We do have girls. All right, so our final $25 gift certificate is going to— I don't know who, but somebody soon. Is it going longer the more I click? That's what I want to know. All right, Patricia. P-A-T-R-I-C-I-A. All right. That is it. So we're going to change that person out because, you know, you only get to win one at a time, right? All right, now on to the $50 gift certificate. Here we go, one of two $50 gift certificates, and the winner is going to be Janice. And to be fair, yes, there are guys on this wheel, but there's like 4 guys out of 64. So, all right, second $50 gift certificate is going to go to— I don't know who, but somebody on the wheel. We're gonna get a guy. Oh, one of the dudes finally went and won! All right, so Richard just won his $50 gift certificate. To a Great Start Shooting School that can be used towards any and all types of training. All right, this is it, the 100— wait, wait, this is, this is all very— oh wait, how do I get DJ? Oh, there it is. All right, so ready? We have to do the drum roll thing. So those of you who just tuned in, comment, say something, say hi. Because when I am done spinning this wheel for the $100 of free training here at A Great Start Shooting School, then we're going to go into the bonus training for anyone who has signed up or said anything so far tonight. And thus far I've only got 7 entries, so y'all need to start saying hi or something. And it looks like right now everyone's on the YouTube side, so those of you on Facebook, you Y'all need to step up your game and get yourself over here. All right, let's see if I can do this proper. Like, all right, for the $100 training certificate, it's gonna go to whoever this lands on. And who knows, maybe by some miracle they're watching. And it is Martha. Congratulations, Martha. Very cool. All right, so we are done with that. And just like that, ta-da, I'm learning how to use StreamYard even better and more so. All right, um, I meant to put a banner up that said, you know, that spelling count— no, why would spelling count? All you gotta do is say something. You can say hi or I, um— oh, barbecue gets in final and last. Um, yes. So here we go. We've got our winners: Antonia, Eleanor, Callie, Patricia, Janice, Richard, and Martha. Um, oh, look at MK Joe going all doing like writing everything down. And Vanessa Kitty is here. So, um, yes, say anything and you will get entered to win the next StreamYard giveaway. So I gotta switch screens here. Oh, but wait, let's talk. Ready? Here's what I have for you. You get to— yes. Oh, so Guns of Barbecue, uh, earlier today, um, there is no, uh, hashtag anything. Uh, I left it blank, so anyone who comments anything is getting, uh, put in. And right now we've got 9 entries. So here are some of the things that I have um, you know, looking around and seeing what I've got. Due to the fact we've got Aiming for Zero coming up this weekend, and y'all have been listening to me talk about that for a while, I have my Aiming Zero Active Heroes t-shirt. And no, there's not multiple sizes. This is an extra large. That's all I got. So if you're not extra large, that's okay. You can give it to someone who is. Um, so that's the back of it, aimingforzero.org. Front of it, Aiming for Zero, Active Heroes. Um, Active Heroes is the parent company, basically. Um, we've got the flag on the, the Who's It Wants It. So here's your first drawing. Yes, Mike, thank you so much. At least somebody on Facebook has a shot at winning now. Good job. So, um, Aiming for Zero, Active Heroes for this weekend. So one extra large. All right, so that'll be the first drawing. Oh, but wait, you know how I said I don't have any, any other, um, so there's this. This is my extra large Aiming for Zero Active Heroes. But wait, there's more, because guess what? I didn't realize this is a different color and a different size. So if you happen to be a large, I have it in a different color. And the most important thing here obviously is One Veteran Suicide is one too many. All right, um, and I don't even know what the aim high slogan for the US— oh, aim high, yeah, because then you're gonna miss your target. All right, so anyway, um, all right, for those of you wondering what the heck I'm mumbling about, Vanessa Kitty on YouTube said I always questioned aim high slogan for the US, the United States Air Force. And like I said, I think I got it, because if you aim high, then you miss your target. And then Finally, but not least, this is going to be a collector's item because I just went to order my new hats and I can't get this color anymore. So the third and final thing I will raffle off is my pink hat, which is flamingo pink, and they don't make flamingo pink anymore. So my next ones are going to be kind of more like, more like the shirt than here. So, um, those are the things. Um, so yeah, uh, Mike is telling Barbecue to be quiet. Jonathan Burger. Oh, so for those of you who don't know, ready? Here we go. Mr. Jonathan Burger is over on Facebook side. And for those of you who don't know, his alias is Barbecue. So is it cheating? What say the panel here? I say no, cause I have 11 entries and I've got 3 gifts. So the chances of people, well, you can't win more than once. So I will say that part. Um, so anyway, All right, so let's go. First things first, I'm going to go with the extra large aiming for zero. And of course this means that if you win, you have to PM me your address so I can send it to you. Um, are we ready? All right. I put the lemon strips and flamingos in the yard. Uh, yes. Very cool. Yeah. I've been seeing the flamingos around a lot, but there's a couple of people on our yard who have been birded or whatever the heck you call it. All right, here we go. So for the Aiming for Zero, we've got 11 entries. Talk now or forever hold your peace. I know there's a lag, so I feel like I gotta wait 30 seconds. Well, let's go. Who's gonna win? Who's gonna win? Who's gonna win? And it's gonna be— oh, what? Uncle John Flocked. Yes, that it. That's, that's what the pink flamingos are. All right, Uncle John, you have— oh yeah, hold on, let me get this part here. Oh, um, this one is for you, right? Extra large. You gotta send me your, um, whatever that's called, uh, way to send this to you. Yeah, that thing. So let me know where I can send that. All right, so I gotta write this down because I am As I've been, I'm so happy to be blonde again. Cause yes, yes, Uncle John, you absolutely. So Uncle John has the extra large Aiming for Zero, um, t-shirt. Ta-da! You are welcome, sir. All right, next someone is going to get the large. What is this, army green or something? It's kind of army green. I don't know what it looks like on your monitor, but it's kind of army green. All right, so now we'll go back here. Oh, I'm so excited. I'm like almost as good as barbecue with this. We're gonna draw again, although I didn't take anyone out, so if Uncle John wins again, then we're gonna go again. But let's see who's gonna win. Vanessa Kitty. All right, Miss Vanessa Kitty, here you go. This too is yours, and I'm gonna write it down because I'm gonna forget. All right, so this NASA Kitty— and I'm guessing half of you have already won stuff from BBQ, so if I had to, I could probably get your info from them, but I would appreciate you sending me your contact info, um, because that makes it easier for me. And the sooner the better, because if I don't forget— I mean, if I do this sooner than later, like before this weekend, that would be good, because for the next 2 weeks I'm traveling like crazy. All right, the final final, final giveaway. And yes, it's pink. And yes, you don't have to wear it. If you're not going to wear it, tell me and I'll pick somebody else. Or if you don't have someone who you think who will absolutely love it— but it's going to be one of the last ones. It's special to me. Um, I'll try not to cry as I give this away. Um, so yeah, hold on. Ready? Deep breaths, like the whole thing. All right, for the final Neither of them have ever won a barbecue prize. Good to know. All right, final one for my one-of-a-kind last version of this particular one is going to be— oh nope, sorry, you only get to win once today, Vanessa. All right, so hold on, let's try again. That was so anticlimactic. Because unfortunately I don't— don't know how to take people out. So Vanessa Kitty, you can't win twice in a row. And Fiona— wait a second, Fiona, you gotta tell me, should we draw again? Because I'm pretty sure you already have one of these, and I'm pretty sure your son is not gonna wear it. So I could be wrong, but all right, I am going to move my mouse and find myself again. All right, so, um, yeah, so Vanessa Kitty, I'm giving Fiona a minute to get back to me if she wants another one. I don't know, she's very much a black kind of girl. All right, so she says I can draw again. See, I'm not, I'm not cheating, she said so. Um, all right, so we'll go for one more. Well, see, this is the other Fun thing about, I guess, next time using the picker. Oh, but I guess part of it too is like, as people get in here, you can keep entering because we just don't know. All right, let's see if we can pick someone who hasn't won yet tonight and might actually want my one of a kind. All right, Mike, you're it, man. You have to Facebook me and let me know. What your contact— oh, and let me write this down. Mike Dixon. And at least we're friends on Facebook, I'm pretty sure. So it should be good to go. All right, ladies and gentlemen, 20 minutes to make a bunch of people hopefully super happy and excited about actually getting their gift certificates. I'm looking forward to sharing this video with folks. Because, um, yay, Mike! Yes. Um, I will get this to you. And what else? Oh, in the description I said I was going to talk to everyone who was in the raffle. So not the, the one that's the, um, StreamYard one, but on my picker wheel, my 62 people who are at the thing, all of those folks are getting a Bring a Friend for half off. And I tried to figure out how to make a coupon for that because I'm going to send you all a coupon. Well, what is actually going to happen is I'm going to spend— send you all a special link that allows you to sign up you, and then you share that with a friend. So you're basically both going to get 25% off because it's just going to be the same price. So it's normally an $85 cost for a 90-minute class, and I'm gonna do whatever the math is for that. So that's how the buy one, get your friend at 50% off is going to actually work, is you're both going to get 25%, but you can sign up for the same time because generally I'm only doing one at a time. All right, so that is that. I hope it makes sense. Um, So it is time for me to go. Thank you, Vanessa. Uh, I will look for your email when I am done. And Fiona, thanks for letting somebody else win a hat. And yes, I'm like, I don't know if DJ put up your comment or not, but, um, yes, you're very black like your cold dead heart. So anyway, thank you all for checking in. Uh, super fun barbecue. Thank you for being my role model and figuring out that I can do fun stuff like this, because this was cool. And I think that's it. I will talk to you all Saturday. Oh, um, just for those of you, because most of you guys are here often, so Saturday night, Mario Mosen, 8 PM. He had to cancel on me, so we're trying to get caught up at some point before Saturday. And we're going to pre-record an interview. Hopefully I'm actually going to try to get off this and go talk to him. Um, so yeah, that's, that's aiming for zero. So it might be my first pre-recorded live thing that I do on Saturday. All right, love to y'all. Thanks for stopping in. Have a great rest of your night, day, week, wherever you happen to be. And, uh, Vanessa, good day. Thank you. And Mario is awesome, and I'm really hoping I get him. If not, we're just gonna reschedule. I will still get him even if it's out for this weekend. All right.
