PBS 2012 BIENNIAL GATHERING

Our 14th Biennial PBS Banquet and Gathering is just around the corner and as you are aware we begin the journey to that event with a very special and popular raffle. The proceeds are used to help offset the costs of PBS programs such as conservation grants and donations, the PBS Doug Kerr Memorial Youth Leadership Hunt and our various scholarships just to name a few areas that benefit from this important and unique raffle.


The good news is that we have upped the ante with TWO outstanding raffles. You will have the opportunity to win an item in our exciting Bow Raffle as well as the chance to win the new Pack of Dreams Raffle. Or, you could win both raffles!

  3. -A Recurve from Wes Wallace Bows

  4. -A $950 credit toward any Schafer Bow from Schafer Silvertip Bow
