It's simply a matter of "each one teach one".  Most folks around here have met that quota long ago. 

Back in my militant days, I even shot 3D archery tournaments with stick and string, and worked my butt off trying to build a business, Singing String Archery.  Eventually I gave up on selling any bows, especially when I spoke with a legal advisor on business development.  (The excise tax on hunting and fishing gear, plus $1,200/month liability insurance premium eventually convince me to drop it)

I switched from militant mode to evangelical mode.  Instead of selling everyone a bow, I wanted to teach everyone to build a bow.  I make the offer to at least one person a week.  On average, I end up walking one person a year thru the entire process, and finish one or two abandoned projects from folks that didn't see it through. 
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.
