I made a phone call today that made me feel like a jackass.

I called Ed at Gunstocks Inc to ask if he would be willing to donate some items for this years shoot. He said he was going to pass. He said that he donated four stocks last year, and only one guy called him and thanked him. And I know who that guy was. I'm going to make some more calls tomorrow. I hope that's the last call like that. If not, we probably will just not have door prize's.

You see now why I declined? I spoke with Ed last year after the shoot and thanked him and told him how fast they went and how much the folks liked them. But I don't think anyone who took one home did the same.

I got basically the same input from all the folks who donated thousands of dollars worth of stuff I gave away last year.

Thats sad, I really thought that everyone was going to call the sponcers.

I hope the guy at gun stocks remember me calling.

GB

I know you did a fine job of lineing up the prizes for last years shoot and everyone that was there should have given the sponsers a call or dropped them an e-mail to say thank you .

I was not at last years shoot but herd that all were pleased with what was given , but on the other hand i personly have spent well over $2,000.00 on items from at least some of the companys that sent stuff to the shoot , that alone should worth something , and i am perty sure everyone else has spent some money on their products too .

I am not trying to be rude or nasty but it is a two way street and if they feel the need to not send anything we will still have a very good time .

Just my 2 cents worth.

Mueller Optics is out. They didn't feel like they saw any results from sponsering the shoot last year.

Well I for one sent a thank you to every vender that was provided on the list (BTW thanks for doing that it made it much easier). So they may have not gotten the return for their investment, but they did get a return. I esp. thanked Mueller since I won their scope and have since turned my brother-in-law onto their optics.

I haven't been to any GB doing's yet.

But, unless there's paperwork with each item stating who it came from and how. I'd been just as guilty without knowing it.

I'd highly encourage whoever ramrods these things to write a letter to everyone. Stating, "these item's have been donated by the mfgs', not purchased by GB for prize's.
PLEASE send each sponsor a thank you for their donations etc".
