    We were at a banquet tonight for a local archery shop and my son won a 3 day hunt with an outfitter in Wisconsin. He was pretty pumped and looked in shock when he said Dad they just called my number.

    Your family is one of the luckiest families I know of! You just won a rifle, now this, and if I remember correctly you won a bow a while back? Awesome stuff and I wish your son the best luck!

    It was a different set up from most banquets. There were not the normal deal where you pay a certain price for a number of tickets. Here you paid $10 and you got 3 shots with a nerf style cross bow and if they stuck on a plastic buck with a Velcro circle where the vitals would be you got a ticket. My son did it 3 times and ended up with 7 tickets. There were not as many tickets in there as a normal raffle and it worked out pretty good for him.

    Heckler that was the least I have ever spent at a banquet. $30 for us to get in and $45 in raffle games.
