So, there it is in a nutshell. If it were the 'biggie' win, I would be down there shooting those innocent pigeons as we speak, but, unfortunately, not for just $200.00 off. (Works out to be a 10% off type thing)

I will have to fire off an email to Del to thank him anyways.

Sorry for the disappointment. Perhaps you can find 9 other people who don't like their prize and combine them.... :)
 
:laughing: Do you have someone on your Christmas list that you really don't care for, but still feel like you need to give them something? Also noticed on their site under Testimonials that some of the people that have been there plan on going again. Maybe you could contact them and make a couple of bucks for your win.
Congratulations! Sorry you won't be eating any pigeons. :cheers:
 
I'm sorry it wasn't what you had expected. I really dislike % off wins. I hope you win a great prize soon.

congrats?.. :laughing:
 
:wave: Congratulations!! It's one of those wins where you have to pay alot to use it! :cry:

Like the American Laser Center wins...
 
I think that since our VP Dick Cheney is such a big hunter that maybe he should get a very nice Christmas card from you this year with a coupon! :laughing:
 
That sounds alot like the $300 coupon that I won from the laser center. You just won a small drop in the big bucket.
