Tom’s July Event Corner

This article originally appeared in Wisconsin Waterfowl Association’s July Newsletter edition.

July is shooting month here at WWA, whether it be clay pigeons or birdies, as in golf.  Check out our Ozaukee Shoot, our Abrams Shoot and our Fox Valley Golf Outing, all happening this month.  It’s time to start sharpening up your shooting eyes for waterfowl season.  Misses on ducks or geese don’t roast well.  A brace of ducks starts with practice.  Thanks again for your continued support.  I hope to see more of you at the upcoming golf and shooting events this month.

I’d like to take this opportunity to also update you on some of the new products you will see at our upcoming events.  You will get a chance to win some decoys from Tanglefree and Final Approach and hunting gear from Beavertail, Drake and Final Approach.  This is great gear to make your hunts more enjoyable so be sure to check out all of our fall events near you!

Check out our Class A Raffle section online over the next month or so as we add new raffles by the week as our fall banquets begin their events.  This is a good chance to win great guns from events you may not get a chance to attend.  You need not be present to win! Winners not present are notified by the phone number or email given at checkout and we’ve had a few online winners of some great guns.  Want to win a Kimber 1911 45ACP?  Hurry because only a handful of these tickets remain from our Valley Chapter’s Raffle.  Want to win one of the hottest new pistols, the Sig Sauer P320-M17 9MM in Flat Dark Earth color is Waukesha Chapter’s Grand Prize.  Check our class A page often as this one is going live soon and only 200 tickets will be sold.  West Allis will have a 3-Gun Raffle featuring a Weatherby SA-08 camo 12ga. semi-auto shotgun limited to 500 tickets.  Midland Wings has a 4-Gun Raffle NOW ON SALE featuring a Weatherby Orion 12ga O/U and Beretta A-300 12ga. shotguns with only 600 tickets sold and they are going fast!! The Wausau Chapter will be offering a chance to win a 2-person 4-day/night fully guided Canadian Fishing Trip at Anderson’s Manitou Falls Camp if you’re looking for something to win besides guns.  However, ff you can’t get enough of the guns, check back for their 4-gun raffle with the Browning Wicked Wings Maxus 12ga. shotgun as top prize.  Don’t forget to get your tickets for the UTV also!

A big shout-out THANK YOU goes out to all of our committee volunteers for all of their time and efforts that go into putting together our fantastic summer and fall banquets this year.  I want to encourage all of you, our membership, to give these individuals a big Thank You when you see them around town or at one of our events.  If you think it looks like fun, please consider joining them and volunteering with us yourself!

Thanks for all your past and future support.
