Exeter Arms 3rd Annual Pumpkin Pop Nov. 1st, 2009.

<< < (3/3)

SBarry:
It was a great day for the Pop. Warm, sunny and calm. Crowd was small, which meant it was easy to get to shoot your alotted pumpkins. Wendy got to shoot the 227lb pumpkin, and hit it first shot with a 308 she had never shot before. In fact, it was her first time to shoot a bolt action high power, as she is a newcomer to shooting and has only shot my AR, my HK270, and numerous pistols.

One guy from North Platte won both large prizes, the Sig Mosquito, range bag and SigTac coat was the grand prize, and he won the 9mm suppressor. He should have went and bought powerball tickets that day. I was the last ticket to be drawn out. Last year they drew out for grand prize at the end, which would have been me. :angry9:

Wendy and I signed up 29 new members, out of 31 people who weren't already members, not a bad percentage. The other two did take flyers to check out our website, but a pretty darn good percentage.

I was hoping to see more NFOA members there from the forum. If you were there, I am dissapointed you didn't stop and introduce yourself. We had one member there with an NFOA shirt, and I did talk with him. Raffle sales were pretty good.

The event was catered by a local family, and they had a great chocolate covered cherry funnel cake, it was devine. I will post pics when I get them pulled from Wendy's camera.

I did get to shoot a new member's semi auto Barret 50 cal. Some kittens might have died when that happened. :o

Lil Rat, The huge funnel cake with all of the goodies on it was a sight to behold, and the fact that you ate "the whole thing" basically by yourself, (Wendy is obviously not a big eater) was amazing. It was a great day for the 2cd ammedment. Thanks to you for making the effort to be there and spread the word about NFOA. Jim.

SBarry:
Good to meet you guys face to face, I know we talked about screen names, but I forget names quickly.
