a year plus on giveaways..
Id think "hell froze over" if you cant meet the end result and actually send the giveaways out, you probably shouldnt have them. Perhaps catching up with the guys you promised things to THEN resuming the contest would be the way to go. the long wait time really cuts into credibility.. |
Besides, trolling GD is like punching a 4 year old.

I'll check, but pretty sure quite a wad of 'em went out here of late. Maybe you're right, plus you're in the blame radius, we can shut it down, save us a bunch of money, and stop giving some room to bitch over nothing.

Ignore the 14er. He's talking out of his ass. As a winner who is patiently waiting, I have no problems

Free ice cream had no sprinkles on it - noted. ETA - Sprinkles or not, I'm guessing they're gonna shoot when the winners get them finally unboxed. Here's how some of the same barrels shot from outgoing PredatOBRs this past Monday ...

HOWEVER - on my way out i noticed everyone had finished and I was able to put about 30rnds downrange with the stealth and it performed as hoped! Grouped very well (for me) and was rock solid! Can't wait to hopefully stretch its legs with a few hundred rounds later this month |

Well add me to the list, was just notified today I won July!
Freaking amazing thing Larue does! I'll be manning the back of the line for ya'll, at least until next month . From what I gather it's about a 5-6 month lead?
