Also we will have 5 guns on the reverse raffle! I am sending this letter to you far in advance of the event, hoping that you will mark your calendar and find time to fit this special evening into your schedule. I have included some of the details below, as well as on the enclosed order form.

  • THIS year’s attendance gun is a Mossberg ATR Scoped Combo, .30-06, LBA Adj. Trigger, Black Syn. Stock, 22” Fluted Barrel, 3-9x40mm Scope.You will receive your gun at the event; Bill Gawne from Coyote Gun’s will be in attendance and do all the paper work for you that evening.

AFTER sampling all the Hors D’Oeuvres and enjoying our open bar, the dinner will be a special buffet style in our own private room, and will feature carved prime rib,and all the trimmings, along with a special fishplate and desserts. Bay Mills always does a great job for us on the dinner!
