GUFD - Gateway-Unaweep Fire Department
Dynamite Shoot AnnouncementOnly 41 days until the Fall Dynamite Shoot. Get your firearms sighted and ready.Shooters. We have a great fall shoot planned and are looking forward to seeing you all once again.
As you know the dynamite shoot is the only fundraiser for the Gateway-Unaweep Volunteer Fire Department. We have been holding off on having to increase prices for as long as possible, but the time has come where we have to increase prices or this will no longer be a fund raiser, but an expense.
We value our shooters, and we value the fact that we are the last real dynamite shoot and we don’t want to see that disappear. The increase is due to several factors beyond our control. The cost of dynamite has nearly quadrupled in the last 11 years that I have been managing the shoot.Liability insurance has increased as well. Because part of the shoot takes place on public land we have to comply with BLM permitting fees and regulations. And for the record, BLM has been very easy to work with and supports our fundraiser. The other supplies and materials we need such as signage, stakes, etcetera have also increased in price. When I asked the old timers at the spring shoot how long it had been since prices had changed nobody could remember, so it’s been a long, long time.
We took a close look at what it would take to put us back in the black and the following prices are what we agreed on.The Entry Fee will go from $10.00 to $15.00 The Shoot Tickets will go from $2.00 to $2.50. Youth Tickets will still be half price.We feel this is a modest increase that should not overly affect anyone’s budget. Our goal is to keep the event affordable for the average Jane & Joe. One thing to think about is that fact that whoever hits the dynamite will now be getting a bigger jackpot.Remember, we split the jackpot with whoever hits the target so it’s only a .25 cent increase to us. The shooter gets the other .25 cents.
Thank you for understanding and for your continued support. See you all on October 7th.
Hawg Food is at Night Vision with our Delicious Pulled Pork and Award Winning Hay Bales! Lot of other goodies!
