Cowboy Comedy on August 6th!
 
Thanks to the many of you that have purchased the tickets we sent to you for our fundraiser and social event planned for August 6th. So far, 300 tickets have been purchased but we still need to sell 300 more tickets to make this event successful.
 
The money generated from this fundraiser will go to help fund the many projects we have going on this year at the outdoor range.  We have purchased PAT Traps and have completed a large and costly electrical project at the range.  Still ahead, we are building trap houses, installing a water line (yes, we will have water at the range this year!) and we have improvements schedule on the pistol range and the rifle range.
 
Please keep in mind, if the event itself is not something you are interested in or you cannot attend the event, your ticket purchase gives you a chance to win a Kimber pistol or a 42" flat screen!  (if you win the Kimber, you are welcome to trade it for other merchandise from Scheels)
 
 
If you are unable to attend or sell the tickets, your purchase give you an opportunity to win either a Kimber 45acp pistol or a 42" LCD flat screen!
 
Please don't hesitate contacting Kent Broyhill at 402.494.1883 or via email at kbroyhill@studiobgraphics.com or myself with questions.
 
 
Thanks!
