I Actually Won Something!

The Masonic lodge located in Payson, Sy Harrison Lodge No. 70, held a fundraising raffle with three weapons as prizes. The weapons were a CZ Mallard O/U 12ga shotgun, a Remington 1911 R1, and a Henry Big Boy 44Mag. First place had pick of the weapons, second place had next choice, and third place got the remaining weapon. I had purchased a raffle ticket at one of the state events. My thanks to the Brothers of the Payson Lodge for organizing the raffle and getting out there selling tickets.

I received a call Wednesday that I was the third ticket drawn but did not know what I would receive yet as the other two had not made their choices. A call came Friday that I had won the Henry! Being the patient person that I am, I jumped in the vehicle Saturday and drove to the Old Town Pawn Shop in Payson to pick up my loot. The winners needed to go to the pawn shop, with their winning ticket, to fill out the paper work.

Sweet! I was actually hoping for the Henry but figured that others did too. Now I will have dust off my Tombstone Stetson, western boots, and dress up like a cowboy! Since I don't have a horse, perhaps my wife can find a couple of coconut shell to make clopping noises while I prance around the backyard!

Congratulations! I've had one of those Henry's on my wish list for a long time.

Congratulations! I didn't win a gun at GBR (again), and I didn't win one of the suppressed .22's AzCDL gave away this month, but I did win a Kimber once. Pretty cool, ain't it?

It is fun! I need more secure storage!

It's getting to the point where I need a bigger safe. We ought to try the Cowboy Rifle silhouette match at the TRC some month. You bring your Henry, and I'll bring my '94 in .45LC.

Now that sounds like fun! Can I wear my cowboy hat?

Kevin - Perhpas we should talk about some kind of deal on your old safe.

Not for a bit yet. Getting it in the house was a BEAR. Getting a bigger one in... (*shudder*)
