Just saw this in my local paper this morning.

Long article from the Journal:

Are they going to be doing a "going out of business sale?"

Thats a shame , I always liked that place

it sounded like in the longer article that it will get passed on to another family member and keep going.

I think the story said something about the cut-off date being next week, so they just might have a sale.



If I recall, the story implied they could do the transfer of the license, not that they were looking at doing it –– trying to inject their political commentary, like a message on the urinal cake holder.



I have family in and around Shawano and have been in there while younger but not for a long time.



Uncles there have told me the best deals near Shawano are to be found in and around the reservation drinking establishments the week before the handout checks come. Can't say I've ever tried to find that out though.

if there is a sale there is a barret 50 cal up for sale. heck i might be going there saturday just to see if i can score a really good deal

Cool.  If you score a deal on the Barrett, I'll score a deal on some ammo, drive up for the day and let you me shoot it a bit lot at Shiocton.  I'll even cover the range fee.  

I will definitely find out tomorrow.......  

If it's .50 time you want, let me know. I don't own a Barrett, but it's a .50BMG nonetheless (was at Shiocton). I owe sprayandpray quite a few blasts with it, I'd be more then happy to let you take a few cracks too.


(now I just need to find some time to reload those empties from the soggy/sweaty/hot nuts shoot)

Yeah, I had a few things –– that being one of them –– I wanted to do at Hot Drooping Semi-Dripping Nuts '10 and seemed to get sidetracked too much!
