J.A.K.E.S. Day at the Range 2016

[ilovesprig]

Hi all,

I am again the chairman for this years annual J.A.K.E.S. event. Scheduled for June 25th, 2016 at the Escondido Fish & Game shooting range (east end of Lake Wohlford).

As in years past, I'm asking for donations for this great event for the introduction of kids to the shooting of .22's, black powder guns, shotguns, tomahawk throw, BB guns, archery, and the history, hunting and biology of our San Diego wild turkeys.

Kids are free (6-15) and adults are $10.00. This includes all the shooting events, t-shirts, drinks, and lunch for all that attend. Kids also get certificates of completion & buffalo head nickels. They also become JAKES members of NWTF.

We again have 100 kid limit to the event. I will be taking names on June 1st. Last year, we were full in 2 days. So, don't wait to call. I literally got my 1st call at 12:01 am on June 1st.....lol.....The gates and registration start at 8:00 am. The event starts at 9:00 am sharp. Historically, we're done by 1:00 pm.

Also, it takes about 40 helpers/instructors to accommodate this many participants. If you would like to help out, please let me know.

Looking forward to seeing you,

Steve.....760-803-4868
