Hope everyone is getting ready for the 3-Day Shoot, the Vile Bunch certainly is!

We will have a 45/70 H&R Single-Shot Rifle for the raffle again this year.  You do not need to be present to win and tickets will be $5 each or 5 tickets for $20.  The 3-Day Raffles and Auction will continue based upon your generous donations.  The raffle items will be setup Saturday morning while we shoot and tickets will be available for purchase at lunchtime on Saturday.  We will continue to have 2 different colored tickets at 50 cents and $1 levels.  And don’t forget the 50/50 raffle – it is a quick and easy way to donate to the club and maybe share in half the proceeds!  Your odds are certainly much better than the Lotto.

In case you haven’t already seen the information, we have a new caterer this year – Bad to the Bone. It was recommended by one of the Vile Bunch members and unanimously agreed to after reviewing their menu and prices. We chose to go with the BBQ Chicken and Pulled Pork for meat variety. For our sides, we will have Southern BBQ Beans, Smoked Green Beans w/ Ham Hocks, Cornbread, and either Chocolate Cake or Carrot Cake for dessert. Nawlins and I checked them out and their food is finger lickin’ good! Check out their website for more information: www.bad2thebonebbq.com

On a final note, we are looking into making doors for the Lean-To out at the Range. If that fits into “your line of work” and you have some suggestions, please contact either Capt. Lester Thomas, our Props Hand, or one of the Vile Bunch.

See you out on the range!
