2021 PGCA Raffle gun
 

The PGCA 2021 Raffle Gun is a 16 gauge VHE serial # 161275 which left the factory in 1912. It has been tastefully refreshed and it sports modern stock measurements to ensure the new owner a lifetime of enjoyment.

This year's event will be held in conjunction with the Northeast Side x Side Classic, June 3-5, 2021 at Hausmann’s Hidden Hollow Sporting Clays located in northeastern Pennsylvania. Keep in mind this may change with COVID, the banquet and the drawing dates.

Stock dimensions are LOP 14 3/8", DAC 1 5/8", DAH 2 5/8" and the gun has an overall weight of 7 pounds with a 1 size frame.

Thanks very much Brian for posting that info and the pictures. That nice one will certainly rack up the ticket sales!!





.

1 frame I assume ?

Yes Craig, a 1 frame. It's the last thing Brian noted in the description.

Since I didn't win Powerball, might as well win this !

Dandy looking VHE

And I “thought” I could read :banghead: Apologies !

I'll take a double shot of the tickets for that one!!!

some bodys gona get a nice gun....charlie

I am sure that I am missing some obvious link or direction and will be totally embarrassed for missing it, but where are the tickets available and what is the cost?

You have not missed anything, the board members are servants of the membership and mail the tickets to you. Each member will receive them in late March.

Thanks

How does one get on a mailing list to purchase tickets?

If you are a paid member you will automatically be sent a book of tickets to buy.

Non-members must contact Ed Morgan to buy tickets.





.

Brian Hornacek would be the contact for raffle tickets moving forward Dean.

Thanks Randy - Sorry Brian - It had slipped my mind that Ed had retired from that position.





.

Could someone post those responsible for the restoration of this fine looking shotgun?

Tickets will be mailed on Monday March 29.

Any member who wants more than 1 book of 6 tickets send me a PRIVATE MESSAGE.

Any Forum Associate that would like a book(s) of 6 tickets send me your address in a PRIVATE MESSAGE.

Do not depend on me to pick your request up from this thread.

All the best!

Brian

On the tickets there is a "SF" abbreviation, what does this mean?

Got my tickets yesterday, to be clear which part of the ticket do we send back, I assume the stubs with our personal information so you know who wins when it's drawn?

Thanks,

What a great looking gun.

Splinter Forend




.

Yep stub with your info.

VHE - V grade hammerless ejectors
DT - double trigger
PG - pistol grip
SF - splinter forearm

I NEED another 16! What a nice gun to add to the collection, fine dove medicine. Mailed mine back today.

Here is a copy of the research letter for the 2021 Raffle gun.

Mail made it to Saskatchewan Canada today. Payment in the works. I enjoy 16’s for upland. Three Trojans and a VH have made pheasants very wary of Charlie the wonder dog and me between October 1 and December 31. None of mine are as pretty as the raffle gun. While it is a bit more difficult to move anything from south to north of the 49th parallel I will jump through all the hoops required once my ticket is drawn. Cheers Jack

Raffle gun ticket sales have been tremendous this year. It says a lot about the memberships dedication to our annual fund raiser.

If you are a procrastinator like me it’s time to get those tickets in the mail!

The PGCA area at the Southern will have the raffle gun and tickets for sale with the one and only Ed Morgan. Ed has been the driving force in the annual raffle gun fund raiser for years so stop by and say “Thank You Ed” for you dedication and hard work!

All the best to each of you!

PGCA member,

There is no time like the present to get those raffle tickets mailed in for this years drawing. Many of us have very busy lives and we set things aside with the best intentions and never get back to the intended task. Take a moment tonight or tomorrow and dig those tickets out of the stack of things to do and send them in.

Have a great evening and we look forward to seeing many of you in a few weeks.

Best regards,

The PGCA BOD

on the way

Well the raffle year is drawing to a close and I want to thank everyone that returned tickets in support of the cause. Something maybe never mentioned here is the number of personal thank you’s and letters received each year. Findlay Ohio was definitely a theme and many had fond memories of dealing with Bill Jaqua. What a great group of individuals we have in this organization.

Thank you Lynn, Curt, Jerry, Bill, Bruce, Donald, Charlie, Tom, Jim, Jeffery, Robert, John, Joe and Gavin.

All the best and good luck everyone.

Bill, Cam, and now Nick have been fun and easy to deal with

Congratulations life member John Brazelton the winner of the 2021 raffle gun.

Thanks all who participated.

It's good to see it went to a PGCA Member this year!!!
