I don't know why, maybe it's my clean living, good looks and this fantastic 70 year old body :wink
But tonight she gave me the best prize I've ever won, (next to my wife that is)
Last March I bought 5 raffle tickets for $10 each, I'm a sucker for raffles that help the shooting sports, specially where kids are involved.
The tickets were for the "Student Clay Target Program" and the drawing was tonight in Sparta IL.
When I answered the phone and they told me I won I just knew it was the gang at my gun club thinking they'd play this old boy for a good laugh.
I had to look at my caller ID to realize it wasn't them.
Anyway, tonight I won a new Kolar MAX Trap TA over/under shotgun. Damn things worth $12,000. Will take a trip to Racine WI where they are made to pick it up and have it fitted.
Just remember all you peckerheads, good things happen to good people.:beer

I really, really, REALLY can't understand why you don't just sell out and move to Vegas!

That is one mighty fine shooting iron jb, congrats on the win though I'm not sure I'd let you be on the same squad as me with it though...not sure it quite lives up to my trusty 1977 1100 trap gun. ;)

You are definitely one lucky SOB! Hope it turns all those clay birds into a cloud of dust for you.

Just received these pictures of the drawing, I'm sure the young lady with her hand in the bucket is my "Lady Luck"
The guy on the phone is trying to tell me this is not a joke, you can see his reaction when I asked him if this was my buddy and a BS call.
Going right to the factory to pick it up and chose the wood I want for the stock.51625163
