next friday august 2nd is the annual southern indiana friends of the nra event, its at the 4h in Evansville and doors open at 5 and tickets are 100.00 but that gets you dinner, free non alcholic beverages (we do have free beer! but after the second keg floats, it aint free no more, there is a cash bar with mixed drinks and wine!) and the 100 dollar entry fee will get you entered in the chance to win door prizes (everything from ammo, knives, garage door openers, a gun safe, cash, jewelry and more) plus chances a gun!!! (were giving away 10 as door prizes!!!!)
why should you go??? well the friends of the nra is the 501c nonprofit non political branch of the nra, its got nothing to do with politics at all! (so even if you dont believe in what the nra does this event is still for you!), so what do we do you ask? well we raise money for the future of our sport!, 50% of the money we raise go's to national foundation causes like the us olympic shooting sports, eddie eagle gun safety programs, the refuse to be a victim program and so on.
the other 50% stays in indiana and helps things like 4h and boy scout shooting programs, high school shooting teams (we gave 5 thousand each to 2 local schools that started trap teams this year) we give grants to high school archery programs, brownells youth day events are free because of grants from the friends, and this money comes from events like this!!!
there are games, raffles, silent and live auctions and lots of like minded fire arms enthusiasts! one of the raffles im looking forward to is the "atf raffle" we will sell 25 tickets, 100 dollars each (at the event) and the winner will get a bottle of burbon, a box of cigars, and a sig p210 friends of the nra edition (engraved with the friends logo) at the huntingburg auction in the spring they auctioned off the gun, and it went for 1400!.
we will have the "nra wall of guns!" we sell 50 tickets for 20 dollars each, and after we sell 50 tickets, we draw a winner, and that person gets their choice of anything on the wall or 500.00 cash!!! (three years ago, I won a sig sauer p320, and last year a friend won a ruger sp101 in 9mm, and a good friend chose the cash when he won in huntingburg earlier this year!)
