I won't be redundant in the thanks to everyone involved with the September 19, 2009 3-D Benefit shoot. But as we know if it weren't for those people that see the good in all people and the importance of God in our daily lives the world we live would be in worse condition. Without our sponsors and those of you who want to make a difference none of this would of been possible.
The preparation for the day was very time consuming. Once you see the outcome and the day comes to an end you can feel the relief and sensation of a task well done.
Once again there were many firsts as are with the great outdoors we all cherish so much. New friends, old acquaintances, first time shooters, young and old combating the same passion united as one, and smiles that will last a lifetime. Being blessed with the presence of Tina Pattison, Hunt of a Lifetime Founder, Arianna Evans one of our Hunt of a Lifetime children. Allowing the unknown person to experience the wow factor.
As I listened to so many people comment about the day and ask how to "Get WIRED". They are pumped and now hopefully they ARE "WIRED".
To those that weren't able to attend you can still be apart of our wonderful family. Get involved, get "WIRED", and continue your support. Thank you all for your kindness.
Take time to take a friend, loved one or a first timer and introduce them to our wonderful sport.
