Chantry Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Looking for ideas for something to give the shooters for an upcoming major match. Prefer something useful and/or different and cost to be $10 or preferably less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 The most useful item I ever received was a spent brass bag that clipped onto my cart. Shotgun bore brushes are also nice. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Sun Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Over the years, I've received many large match giveaways. I've kept very few of the items that I've received. One item that I received at the Ides of March in 2008, was a flexible laser/light with the match/year imprinted on it. I use it on an (almost) daily basis. It is similar to the ones in the link below. https://www.qualitylogoproducts.com/flashlights/flex-light-with-laser.htm 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Does your club have a seamstress? For last year's Whoopin', Prickly Pear Peggy made arm garters for everyone with their alias on them. These also served as name badges. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creeker, SASS #43022 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 We (Eldorado) have given away coffee mugs, brass bags, loading strips, long gun cart covers and myriad other items. I often see the loading strips, the covers and brass bags years later. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Sopris, SASS Regulator Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 The best time of their life. They can’t give, throw or sell away. Many fond memories from places that did just that. I have more coffee mugs, shot glasses and beer glasses than I’ll ever use. Give them something they will take to their grave….A Big Smile ! 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assassin Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 We used to give away primers at Hell On Wheels. Some folks would get 500 others 1000. Some complained because they were Winchester. Bet they wouldn't complain now. Gave away many boxes of CheyCast bullets. One year we gave away some US Silver Eagle dollars. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie T Waite Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Over the past 9 years we have given what our sponsors donated. One year it was homemade soap. Here are some other things: brass bags, custom ink pens, leather & shear-ling gun rugs, patches, pins, etc. We have always had enough for that as well as for door prizes. I just requires a bit of planning and some people dedicated to getting sponsors for the match; both local & larger corporate ones. One year we received gift card from a store & bought cleaning kits that that had on sale from their store with it. If they give you cash or gift cards/certificates; ask the manager for some assistance and use them at their store right then. It say that you value what their opinions an appreciate their gift. Yes we all know they write it off in taxes but, when you do that they donate again and sometimes they give even more. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Snorter Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) Granted, it wasn't in SASS, but we laid out useful prizes (bullets, primers, gift certificates, clothing, even guns, which were processed through an FFL member) on tables. Winners drew in order of place, the Overall champ, Firsts, Seconds, etc. Folks picked what was needed or of interest. The souvenir was a coffee cup with match and date. Everyone got one of those. Better days, and there were some generous sponsors, many of the prizes were solicited. Edited February 26 by Rip Snorter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 One of the most useful things I ever got in a match gift packet was lens cleaning cloths or packets.

Black Hills Barb Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) We have received some of the above - some once and some so often that we still have unused ones on hand. All were appreciated, but honestly, they didn't have to do it. At our match we have given out several things. Members have made boot jacks and squib rods for us to to give. We have purchased ammo boxes, Ballistol, gun cleaning pads and more as a way to thank our shooters for their support. One time the envelope for the shooter packet was replaced with a canvas bag that had any number of uses. One of the nicest things we gave out were custom embroidered hats. The hats had a nice logo on the front and the shooter's alias embroidered on the back. Many times that we gave things out were those when our door prize table was looking pretty empty. That occured during the COVID years especially. As our state match approaches we are debating on what to do. I just want to go to Imis Twohoffon's match or one that hands out bottles wine ! Thanks for the thread! There's some good ideas here. Edited February 26 by Black Hills Barb 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
