I must confess, I've never bought a box of premium ammo. My 460 Weatherby, 378 Weatherby, 458 Lott, 30/06 and a lot of other rifles and handguns
have never seen anything besides handloads.

You can afford to run those monsters but worry about value in the food at a fund raiser?

Yea, that's pretty much right.

I expect to get something comemensurate in value for what I pay. When I load and touch off a $2 or $3 round I'm getting a great bang for my buck.

Come to think of it, I've never had a 50 BMG...

The Central Washington Chapter is located in a rural and largely blue collar wages. Yes we have a few folks that can and do donate substantially. We want to be family friendly and to do that we have to be affordable. We want them to enjoy the show, participate in the raffle and auction. And raise their awareness level. The price of the annual fundraiser tickets are discussed each year and we try to be affordable and make a little off the tickets. Our annual fundraiser this past December was our best ever. We had 380+ attendees, our proceeds exceeded our previous best year by 15%. Our 30% to National at Las Vegas was aprox. $10,800 and we also signed up 145 new members.
