Has been on front page of Wingunclub.org for past month
During the month of september 112 people clicked on the link for more information.
Problem I'm running into is youth gun deer hunt is the same weekend. Should think of changing weekends next year to avoid this. Otherwise, had a lot of interest to attend but disappointment in the scheduled weekend.
