Hey all - we're down to it. Mesa Chapter has about 16 left to sell, and I have 3. We anticipate pulling the winner in the next week or two. If interested in getting one of my last 3 tickets/knife sets, shoot me a PM!

Hey all - we have a couple of sweet raffles going on right now. Larry Potterfield from Midway USA purchased 300 sets of matching knives. Here is the deal... You purchase a set of knives for $30. With that purchase comes a ticket on a matched set of Browning A-Bolt Medallions in .257 Roberts. They are his/hers or adult/youth. One of the rifles has the smaller stock. All of this money goes towards youth education. Half ($4500) stays right here in Arizona and will go to schools with shooting programs Contact me for tickets. 1 in 300 is decent odds, even for a guy with my luck!

Look like all #2's? Great deal - I wish I was still trapping

22 Late October Coues for me as well.

I put in with a friend and his card got hit

Sounds like all of my guns! Good luck with your sale

OK Gang - set for June 15th at the Windmill Inn in Chandler This is our first banquet but we're trying to make it an awesome first effort.

Yessir. About 60 sets left out of the 300. Once we get them all sold, we'll draw. Since we're both in QC maybe we can meet somewhere. I'm out though and will need to get them from the Mesa chapter. You can shoot me a PM. Or, ART from the Mesa chapter has been selling them every Thuursday Friday and Saturday at the Mesa Sportsmans Warehouse

Thanks everybody. The team worked really hard to make a good first impression and I am personally very appreciative for those who came out and those folks who couldn't make it but were there in spirit. We're already applying lessons learned to make it an even better event next year. Might do it a bit earlier in the year as well.

Thanks for coming. Your support was very much appreciated!

Thanks TJ - it's been quite a learning curve. I have a good committee though and Art and Terry have been awesome tutors. I'm already making note of ways to improve for next year. I'll be glad to have this one under our belt!
