The Spring Banquet of the W. B. Mershon Chapter will happen on April the 17th, starting at 5:30 p.m., and lasting as long as we’re still having fun.  We’re hosting at the Horizons Conference Center, in Saginaw.  As always, great food, and this year, entertainment!, featuring Brush Street.  There’ll be two grand prize raffles, one for a crossbow, the other for a flyrod – more information about these can be found below.  We’ll have plenty of bucket raffles, so come prepared to buy raffle tickets, and to bid on items at auctions, both silent and noisy.   Reservations and raffle tickets are available by following the link “2015 Banquet Invitation,” below.

The TenPoint® Stealth SS ACUdraw™ Crossbow Package features a sleek XLT bow assembly and FSB (Functionally Superior Bullpup) stock, combined to create TenPoint’s shortest and most compact bow ever. Great for hunting out of tree stands or ground blinds. At 6.8 pounds, its size, weight, and superior maneuverability will appeal to those looking for user-friendly hunting in a small package.
