Yeah snowdog he had to, after the statements that the RD made after him winning the 2 nd. gun of the year, He said that this guy and himself worked alot of banquets together and that he spends alot of money and wins alot of guns. All this after he rebuked a guy in our home chapter committee to not be folding his sportsmans raffle tickets 2 years earlier. I really like the banquets and hopefully this thing will not come between us cause we are friends and have been for several years but I see this as being really unfair to the guys in that chapter that worked so hard and spent their money to win a gun, To me its kind of like those 2 were working together, at least you know as many banquets as they have done together and the RD also stated that this guy would work a banquet by himself when he was not able to attend, so you know that the gun-winner was aware of what goes on and whats fair and whats not. I will try and attend our next chapter meeting cause its about time to start planning our banquet, we have about 3 guys that do about 95% of the work and I'm one of them, instead of having trouble like this, we need to be doing the opposite and working for each other instead of doing things that separate us. The RD should know better than this if he is concerned about growing bigger and better chapters, something like this could be devastating to that chapter and to other local chapters, I know at that banquet there was at least 3 or 4 chapters represented and they all saw it, I hope things work out without loosing any much needed members in these newer chapters, I probably should'nt have even posted anything about this but it really rubbed me raw and I did'nt like what I saw.
