As of Sept. 4 we have received 38 tickets. Just a reminder, one guy sent a $100.00 check. You will get your ticket as soon as you send an additional $50.00. Also do not forget to include your address so we can send you a ticket.
That be me. I sent you a PM. For some reason my mind was seeing 150 tickets at 100. Must be old age. The other $50 went in the mail last weekend. There was an address on both of the enclosed letters.
As usual just my $.02

CCMDocYou're a good man, Butch.
Can you tell us a little about the B.Y.A.B. and what they have done or are involved with doing?
Thank you again for the opportunity to support our future and our children as well as for the opportunity to have a pice of your craftmanship.
Sincerely,
Paul

Butch SearcyCCMDoc,
A couple of years ago some parents of football players wanted to donate money to the football team. The principle informed them that the money would be put in a general fund and used as he deamed fit.
This didn't sit well with the parents so they formed an independent parents booster club to help the teams they wanted to help without school bureaucracy interferring.
The girls softball team won there league and had 5 freshmen playing first team last year. The uniforms are six years old and allot has come up missing and the ones they have arn't in good shape. The buget this year is terrible for the girls.
By the way the last raffle for my grandaughers travel ball team (Xplosion) allowed them to compete in the Triple Crown World Series and they came in 9th out of 80 teams.
Thank all of you that has participated

Strangely enough, your stock dimensions are
EXACTLY the same as my own - which will be determined tomorrow between 1 and 3PM at the Griffin & Howe Farm.

Of course it is free. Seeing that I will be holding, shooting, hunting with that rifle it would be silly for me to charge myself a delivery fee every time I take it out and put it back into my safe!

Now now Jeffe,
No need to fly up just to watch Butch fit my new double to me. Besides, I just had G&H do my fitting yesterday so I need only send Butch the form. I appreciate your willingness to cheer me on, though

Would there be any issue with any of us Canadians buying a ticket on such a fine rifle?
I am aware of some of the paperwork BS involved to get a firearm into Canada, but I'd gladly put up with it, should I be holding the lucky ticket.
17 September 2010, 01:05
Butch Searcywsquared,
no problem with anyone buying as long as the winner pays for the shipping, insurance,and export cost.
