and here's a pretty cool one were auctioning off
View attachment 68955
its a john wayne movie poster, with a few pieces of john wayne memorabilia along with a bullet and cartridge fired from one of the dukes guns, and a certificate of authenticity from the nra!, we've got another poster frame being built that has a rifle built into the frame (and the rifle is removable so you can take it out and go shooting with it!)

all this and more! you'll be spending time with like minded firearm enthusiasts AND you're helping create future generations of shooters! in a time where gun owners are under attack, we're trying to keep "our" sport growing!, just an fyi! not 1 cent of this money go's to the nra! every penny is given to non profit shooting organizations! 1/2 will go to the national fnra and support eddie eagle, olympic shooting teams, refuse to be a victim and other programs like those!

the other 50% stays here in Indiana! and is given to groups like the boy scouts, 4h shooting programs, collage shooting programs, high school archery programs and so on!. in fact, one local high school just started a trap team and to get them started they received a 5000.00 dollar grant to get the program going!. there are 2 nra youth day events in the Evansville area that are free to the kids, they learn shooting skills, safety and get to shoot rifles, shotguns, handguns, and its all free thanks to grants from the fnra!

tickets are available at rajo's guns, impoc guns, or lawman tactical, and we'll have them at the door Friday night!

Banquet is at the Vanderburgh Co. 4-H grounds, Boonville-New Harmony Road just west of Hwy 41 (SW corner).

I have an extra ticket if someone wants it. Free if I keep the $100 raffle pack. $75 and you get the raffle pack.

I hope the NRA doesnt give another damn dime to the boy scouts or the inclussive scouts or the anysex scouts (whatever they are called now) ever again!!!
Do they do these closer to indy?

You should come down and go to the big one with us! It’s usually the first Saturday in April, at Hubers orchard and winery, not too far from I-65, almost a straight shot from Indy. I can get you a ticket, great food, crazy amount of guns, and our table always has a blast!

Just about every area has a FNRA banquet. Don’t know where Indy holds theirs, but Hendricks county does them in a couple of locales, I’ll check on the next and get you a ticket if you want, or we could go together and buy a table for our families.

Sweet sounds good guys thanks.

The FNRA banquets have been happening since about 1994. No offense TT but it amazes me how many folks don't know about them. Google Indiana friends of nra and you'll find a central listing of all banquets.

I was a boy scout too, while I don't agree with this (girls), or allowing gay scoutmasters, I still feel that teaching safe, responsible gun handling and marksmanship should be taught to everyone, and if a pre/teen age girl get this kind of training, and it'll helps her out in the future I'm for it, even if its from the boyscouts!​

I wish I could make it to "fall's of the ohio" event! that's the largest fnra event in the country! our chairman went and said their event had 3 barrett 50 cal's that were given/raffled off!, their table guns are henry golden boys! (ours this year are ruger security six's!) they went thru the wall of guns 10 times! (we'll probally get 3 to 3.5 times), their event sell out in 2 days! ours wont get close to selling out!, I hear they "tail gate" before the doors open!

South Indy (merged with Plainfield) is now selling tickets for our August 18th banquet. Buy Early and Save. Now $50 for event/dinner ticket and $50 for shooter pack. fnra@khscpa.com or 317-788-1571. Ask for Adriane.

I'm assuming that the reason they have 50 dollar tickets,(vs our 100 dollars) is that they don't include the automatic raffle entry's like we do.

Getting excited for tomorrow. Pre-event thanks to all the sponsors. Anyone else planning on coming?

 

[snorko]

well it was a great night. Strong showing from sponsors and reserved tables though individual ticket sales were down. We gave away 50 or so guns including three rounds of the NRA Wall of Guns, Egg Drop, Bullet Board and a variety of single and multi-gun raffles. Snorko even won an AR!

Lots of elected officials and candidates in attendance including Senate candidate Mike Braun. But more importantly hundreds of good gun rights supporting folks from around the tri-state. Indiana leads the NATION in total funds raised and I think we did our part last night to keep that trend going. Thanks to all who attended and I hope to see more of you next year.

Covington is next Saturday. Follow the link below for a list of all remaining Indiana events.
