Well, we are home from the Grand 2008 and that always seems like another shooting year has almost slipped by. Thanks to everyone who shopped with us at our store in Sparta, Il. at the World Shooting and Recreational Complex. Even though the crowd seemed light our sales were good considering the economy. The weather was almost perfect for the Grand week so that probably helped keep people shopping and shooting. I want to congratulate our year supply of ammo winner. Mr Jarrick Hutchison and the Huntsville Ar. High School shooting team. They were the lucky winners of 52 cases of ammo thanks to Remington, Winchester, Federal, ATA, and Gamaliel Shooting Supply. This promotion has went over very well and hopefully we can offer it again next year. We all really appreciate the shooters who bought their ammo on the grounds to support those of us who continue to try and support the shooting sports. We have posted some pictures in our photo gallery too if you want to look. You just might see someone you know. I also want to thank my crew for staying away from home 19 days and working so hard again this year. In our store was Renea, Tina, Jaime, Duane, and my two sons Grayson and Gibson ran the shell house with the help of our good friend John Dobbs. My father Garon and myself stayed around the store mostly helping out where needed. Also a big thanks to the crew who stayed in Gamaliel and kept things going there even though they were very short handed. After all was said and done I think everyone who attended this years Grand would have to agree it was a very good shoot. We all look foward to seeing you next year. Thanks again for shopping with us and thanks for checking in.
