Thanks,

From the MGM Targets website (link in the Dealer's Forum). There was similar information in a recent Front Sight:

" AS PART OF MGM’S CONTINUING COMMITMENT to the 2nd Amendment, the shooting sports in general, and to the USPSA in particular, we have implemented a reward program that will benefit clubs or individuals who bring new shooters into the USPSA organization. In short, if you or your shooting club bring a new member into the organization in 2008, we will send you a certificate for $100, that can be used toward any steel product that MGM manufacturers. If you bring in 3 new members, we’ll send you three certificates for $100 each. There is no limit on how many new members you can bring, and there is no limit on the way the certificates can be used. They can be used any way you want, just like cash. They can’t be used on paper targets, Pressure Plates, or the Snapper (clam shell or bear trap style) target activators, because we don’t manufacture those products. No other exceptions.

61,960 was the last membership number issued by the USPSA as of April 30, 2008. If your “new shooter’s” membership number is after that, you are eligible for the $100. To get the certificate, please send a copy of the new shooters membership card to us AFTER they are classified in at least one category. Any classification other than a “U”, in any division, is acceptable. We have this provision so nobody signs up their dog, their cat, or their goldfish, to get the hundred bucks. The new shooter has to actually shoot enough to get a classification.

MGM’s goal is to get people shooting, so they’ll become PRO gun, and PRO 2nd Amendment, and so they’ll VOTE PRO GUN. This country is at a critical crossroads politically speaking, and if we don’t have people standing up for what they believe in, they WILL find themselves wishing they had. If you can encourage them to also join the NRA, we’ll send you an extra $20 certificate. That will cover half of the Annual Membership. If you are serious about the 2nd Amendment, make the commitment to an NRA Life Membership, or up grade to a Life Membership. They’ll charge your credit card $25 per QUARTER. If you aren’t really serious about supporting the 2nd Amendment, quit prentending.

We hope to see you and your new shooting buddy on the range!"

I believe that MGM also had a grant program for steel purchases earlier this summer. I do not know if the grant deadline has passed. Check with MGM for details.
