Figure in these rough times We can all use a Good Luck Story
Told My Grandson he must be living right for sure. He is a fine young man with a VERY respctful attitude and a Great heart. An avid shooter and handloader. I know I know that is what all Proud PaPa's say LOL He now 23 had been planning on getting a 6PRC and new scope. Well he has been working since 16 and has always been good with his money. He now has what I call a "Big Boy Job" in maintinance at large local plant.
He told me about the local Sportsman's Warehouse Balloon Pop. First 200 Customers get a Balloon ( 2 Balloons if you are a rewards member). Once you check out and it is rang up, the balloon is popped and your discount % is revealed. It can be from 5% to 100% you never know until you check out and once popped nothing can be added.
Well He must have felt REAL lucky today, because he purchased a Christesen Arm 6.5 PRC MPR (Modern Precision Rifle) and a Nightforce SHV 5-25x56. Rang up to around $4000.00 Balloon Popped and (Happy Days) 100 % discount. So he walked out the door with BOTH for absolutley NOTHING Just a note of Irony, His Fiancee wasn't at the register whe he rang up so she had to pop her own balloon 5% discount, well still not bad she only had $63.00 worth.
**********TOLD him to be sure and get Lottery Ticket on the way home LOL**********
So now He tells me I am in need of 6.5PRC brass & dies, So I smile and post a wanted post (Got to LOVE THOSE GRANDBABIES)
Safe shooting
Doug

That’s awesome! Always good to hear where “real” people actually win these things! Usually just see where it’s “D. Smith from Dallas” that wins. 🙄

Also went to the local Sportsman's Warehouse today...
Said they had 300 balloons, of which Two were 100% and Two were 50% Balloons.
The Gun Counter was pretty busy, if you were planning on buying any high dollar items there, today was a good day to make your purchase. Nothing to lose.

That’s awesome. I missed it and always wondered if anyone ever gets the 100% balloon. Probably usually goes to someone getting a candy bar and a box of ammo . Let’s see if they do this sale next year lol.
