Join us for a Savageshooters get-together here in Pa. -The get-together will be on
6/14/08 from around 8am until dark(we can still hang out and chat,drink,etc after dark though).
-The shoot will be held at Mainville Sportsmans Club in Mainville, Pa.(

-If you wish to come the night before or stay overnight afterwards and need lodging, here's a link to a motel just a couple miles away.(

-There will be a small fee upon arrival which will cover the costs of the food, targets, other supplies, prizes, and also a donation to the club for letting us hold this at their facility. Basically the whole club is ours for the day. The fee will probably be around $15-20, depending on the final cost of all the stuff.
-It will mostly be a shoot-the-sh** type of day, along with alot of shooting and some friendly competitions. We are planning a few competitions, but something we all can join in if we choose to do so. There will also be prizes awarded for these shoots as well.
- Along with all the other fun, we will be holding a couple raffles.
1) We will be doing a raffle that everyone who shows up is involved in at no charge, just show up and I will put your name in. This raffle is for 2 people to win a 1yr membership to this site. This was donated by MrFurious, our site administrator. All I have to do is let Jim know after the event and he will make it happen. Thanks Jim.
2) We will also be doing a raffle for a "store credit" for Northland Shooters Supply(Nothlander). These chances will probably be $20 each, with the hopes of getting enough chances to award the winner somewhere around $300 worth of credit. It would be nice to be able to get a new Shilen or McGowen barrel for 20 bucks
.
3) Our third raffle will be a gift certificate for a Pheasant hunt at the pheasant farm that viper9696 owns. This was just donated by him to help pay for some of the costs for the shoot. Thanks viper9696. You can find out the details of this at the shoot, but it sounds fun.
4) I'm also thinking about doing another raffle for $1-2 a chance, with the winner getting all of the money to help pay for their gas for coming to the shoot. I figure we'd get $30-40 easily for this and would go to a good cause.
5) We are contemplating a couple more, but we'll see how it goes.
- I have also ordered hats and 3.5" stickers just for this event. The logo I chose for the hat is a crosshairs(like looking thru a scope) with "Savageshooters" around the top of it and "Pa Shootout" around the bottom of it, along with the Savageshooters web address written on back of the hat. The logo for the stickers will be the same crosshairs, but have"Pa Shootout" written around the top of it, and the Savageshooters web address written around the bottom of it. I haven't gotten a final price yet, but it looks like the hats will be $15 each, and the stickers will be about $1.50 each. I ordered 22 hats and 125 stickers, so bring as much money as you can so I'm not stuck with them
.
- Guests are welcome, as long as they have a Savage or you are willing to let them shoot yours. Just let me know if you are bringing a guest so we can get more supplies if we need to.
- As far as shooting guns other than a Savage, please see the thread on that subject. Here's the link(
http://www.savageshooters.com/SavageForum/index.php?topic=14451.0).
-If there are any questions you can pm me(pdog06) or call me on my cell(484-880-9485), or pm Justin(pahog). I have the list of guys who have already committed,and if one of you cannot make it or if anyone else wants to come, please let pahog or me know so we can keep things straight.
**Just to make it clear, Justin and I are not running this to make any money or anything, we just want to get some members together for a meet-n-greet and have a good time. What we are doing is we will be putting all of the money collected (for the raffles, initial fee, hats/stickers,etc.) all together. Then we will seperate to make sure that we and the club are reimbursed for our expenses. Whatever money is left over will be part of the Northlander raffle or some other prize/raffle. **
See ya at the shoot

Mike
