That's great news that you had that many.

Anyone can do what we did.
We started by calling the guys that went to Annapolis with us in 13. Next we called our local FFL. Then we started calling every gun guy we thought might be interested.
We got some legit excuses, a lot of bs excuses, and some guys were scared it was a trap and/or it would get violent. In the end less than 10% of the people we contacted went.
One interesting thing is how many of the guys who couldn't/didn't go were contacting me during and after the rally. I hope we planted a seed in many of them that will bear fruit next time.
I also made some new friends.
So get out there and build your network. Go shooting, hiking, or whatever! The more gun guys you know means more people that you can call, or who may call you, when help is needed.
One other cool thing that deserves mention. Someone who couldn't go met us at 4:30am to give us homemade snacks. That support really meant a lot to me.
