Sight In Day

All in all, Saturday’s Public Sight In Day was great! 12 people show up to sight in their rifles for hunting season. Of that, two people joined and a few more took applications home. I got to meet and talk to some interesting people. And we collected $111.00 in donations!

I have to say gun owners are some of the friendliest people I know.

Hats off to our volunteers Cheryl, Jon and Mike!
