Thanks to Van Winkle’s sharpshooting Subcontractors, the event raised $70,000. This tops last year’s total by $10,000! The event’s sharpest shooters received their awards over a barbecue lunch, and our gracious raffle winners returned home with either a 36″ Blackstone Griddle, a Nikon Coolpix B500 camera and 32GB kit bundle, four Atlanta Hawks tickets, a Trophy Hunter’s gift basket, or a Dewalt DXAEPS2 power station. Our silent auction winner received over $480 in shooting lessons, clays, and gun and cart rentals.
