Any idea on how many guns they are raffling off? This sounds like it would be fun to attend. I may just be up for this one. Maybe some fellow JHO'ers can reserve their own table.

 

[wmidbrook]

I think the number of guns being raffled off will depend on how many $500 table tickets are sold. I believe for every $500 table, there will be a gun raffled off that includes 2 dinners. So, a 4 way split on a table would probably be about $600 or $150-$200 each--would have to ask though.

Anyone else interested in splitting a gun table?

Bump......

I'm going to scan a mail-in application for tix...please post or PM if you'd like one...

Thanks,

Bill

We haven't quite sold out. So, there's room for a few walk ins this coming Friday~!

Give me a PM or call Ron (top of posting) to assure a spot. Some nice rifles will be raffled.

Come win a rifle in Ripon and then a Quad in Bakersfield~!

Oh, ...got a few unit 6C landowner tags (limited time) next to the Baca available if interested.

Wish this thing was on Saturday, i'd hit the MDF on Friday, and then the RMEF on Saturday. Would make for an awesome weekend. Good luck in your raffle, i'm keeping my

for mine.

Mel, I'd love to go to the Livermore MDF function as well~! ***Catch 22***

A deranged buddy of mine beat all the rail gun owners there in the valley by turnin' his brass just right at an open event at their range...was quite a site. Gotta luv it. Practice, practice, practice...luck, luck, luck.....maybe even more luck~!

You'll have a great time no doubt~! It's all good.

Round up@!

I think the local chapter rounded up quite a bit for the RMEF last Friday~! It might be tough to drum up as much as the Redding banquet did but maybe Bakersfield has a good chance to!

I was solo and ended up being seated @ one of the organizer's table because it was one of the few empty seats. A fellow sitting next to me bid on and won a great guided elk hunt in Wyoming's Teton National Forest for $3k. A guided stag hunt in NZ went for $6k. And a beautifully engraved banquet rifle--1874 Sharps went for over $2k.

I was within 10 numbers of winning a rifle twice. A couple fellows at the table won rifles and a few other things.

It was good to meet local hunters and it was a fun time~!

Wish I could of been in two places at once, it would have been nice to meet up. There's a CDA banquet coming up in I think June, it's the Eastern Sierra chapter. Maybe we could hook up there. Anyhow, good luck this year!
