Browning Hi-power for sale

Jay Lewis is selling his Hi-Power. Here is the pertinent info. Contact him directly if you are interested.

"Model and S/N: Browning Hi-Power 9mm with adjustable rear sights, S/N 245NX*****, wood grip panels, “Made in Belgium, Assembled in Portugal” on slide
Condition: Excellent. Cleaned after every use, finish is excellent. I can honestly rate this as “Like New in Box” in terms of cosmetics. Mechanically perfect.
Round count: 750 (est.) I am the second owner, and I don't think the woman who owned it before me put more than a box of ammo through it. I've only used WWB 115 FMJ for shooting, and never had a misfire or jam. I’ve had a few range sessions with it, and two fun shoots.
Included: Original box with matching end label, manual, two factory 13-round magazines, and a set of Pachmayr grips in their original box.
Asking price: $650. Cash only, no trades. I’ll include the FFL transfer fees and background check in this price, at my FFL in Red Lion.
If you know anyone who's interested, feel free to pass on the information. My phone is 717-741-0166, if someone wants to call me with any questions."

Sportsman and Family Festival

We will be hosting the First Annual IWLA Sportsman and Family Festival at York Izaak Walton on September 19th, 20th, and 21st. There will be many events that may interest you. These include the kids fishing pond, plug and fly casting contests, trap shooting, 3D archery, a fishing derby, bake sake, silent auction, dime pitch, a pellet gun shoot, and horseshoe tournaments. For more info check the clubs website at www.yorkiwla.org

The pistol committee wil be running "Ike's shooting gallery" on Saturday from 10:00am until 5:00pm and on Sunday from 10:00am until 2:00pm. This will entail a range with a wide array of target options where the shooter will pay for their ammunition and under our supervision, using our guns, shoot anything they like. I will need some volunteers to help me run this event. I will schedule the help I have throughout the weekend in an orderly manner. If you would like to help email me and we will discuss the options I have for you.

If you belong to the Izaak Walton you can help your club and have a good time showing others how great our sport is. Non-members may also volunteer.

The three front ranges will be closed from Saturday 9:00am until Sunday 3:00pm for this event.

Funshoot Reminder

This Saturday, Aug 23rd, is our monthly funshoot. Anyone who can safely handle a handgun may participate. Registration starts a 9:15am, and shooting at 10:00. You may use any pistol caliber handgun that holds a minimum of 6 rounds, and has a muzzle velocity less that 1500fps (it's unusual to be above that, so if you aren't sure, just ask me). Adults shoot for $15, and kids under 18 for $5. To be placed on an email list for more detailed info, or if you should have and didn't get a notice last night, drop me a line at iwlafunshoot1@comcast.net.

More Alaska pics

A mother moose and calf right along side the road across from Eilison Air Force base. We were stopped in the middle of the road and Kristy was just taking pictures right next to the "Do not stop, or take pictures sign". While she was taking pictures of the moose Ben and I were watching two F16s taxi out and take off side by side about 100 yards from us. It was really cool. It was also interesting that they had no markings on them and one was a woodland camo and the other was a blue and grey camo scheme. I know that is a big jet fighter training base where they dog fight.
Sea Lions we saw on our harbor cruise out of Seward. We also saw whales and seals and all kinds of marine life.
Ben and I at Exit Glacier. I cropped out the signs that say not to be where we are. We had to touch it.
