Remember the Why I Want A Weatherby Post? Results are in,...
« on: April 03, 2009, 06:54:25 PM »
It would be hard for me to find quickly, but I believe a DRTV member posted a thread regarding Dale Hagberg wanting to get his friend Frank McDonald a Weatherby..  Dale was paralyzed from the neck down and made a very sincere video for his former hunting buddy Frank.

I believe alot of the DRTV  members (myself included), linked over to the Weatherby contest site and voted.

WELL,...Over 6600 votes sealed the victory for Frank, just got an email from Weatherby.

Good job DRTV, I'm sure someone (maybe Weatherbyman?) has a follow up.

Here's what I received,..

Dale Hagberg's entry promoting his friend, Frank McDonald, was declared the Grand Prize winner based on garnering nearly 6,600 votes in the contest. As Hagberg is paralyzed and confined to a bed, his friend and former hunting partner McDonald will be the recipient of an expense-paid trip to Weatherby headquarters in Paso Robles, California where he will build his own custom rifle!

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

It was a great idea to have the previous post so we could all vote for him. I'm glad he won.
""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington.
