The tickets were sold individually for ten dollars a piece and twenty five dollars for three. The overall length of the rifle is 44.5" long with an average weight of 7.38 lbs. The suggested retail price of the rifle is $739.00.

The drawing was held at the 4-H’ers monthly club meeting in the Rylander Library. Mr. Bill Blackwell was this year’s lucky winner! Congratulations Mr. Blackwell on your win!
