What does Walzmas mean to you – Single Shot Giveaway
Alright…I’m a little late to the party this year…. let the flogging begin. The new house and work have kept me very busy and put me a bit behind in…well…everything.
Anyway…. like last year, I am giving away a single shot PGP (freak bored) to the winner of the contest. Pictures of it, you ask? Well…. this is where we stand….
That’s right, just a small pile of brass (I said I was behind)
What I can tell you is, that it will be a freak bored single shot (FSR ready), and it will have a standard PGP bolt…. after that, who knows, we’ll see where the build takes me!
How to Enter:
How to win:
The contest closes at 11:59 PM on December 24th, Nora will choose the "best pet" on the 25th and we will be shooting for the winner on the 26th (weather permitting)
Now….my “entry”
Walzmas is a way for me to uphold the generosity that Walz showed my kids. Most of you know this story, so I will keep it short. A couple of years ago, I took my family to Disney for the first time. A few months previous to that, I had saved up some $ and sent Walz my first piece of brass for a custom-build
Walz wrapped up my marker about a week before I took my family to Disney (something I never thought we could afford to do, but the stars aligned a bit for us that year). I asked Walz to wait a couple of weeks before sending the marker back so I could be home when it arrived. When I let him know why, his immediate response was that he didn’t want the money (that we agreed upon) and he wanted me to use it on the kids at Disney instead.
So, a man who I never met, and only spoke to a small handful of times was more concerned that MY kids had a good time on vacation than the business transaction that we agreed upon.
And…. because I am a pic whore…..this is me with my Walz (and packers) at Slims Spring game 2 years ago.
Now....I would PREFER that the winner keeps this as a giveaway for next year as well -- but once it leaves my possession, it is no longer my call. I would like to thank shooter311 (last year's winner) for keeping lasy yeart's PGP alive for me!

- Giving a bonus entry this year!! In your post, add a picture of your pet (dog, cat, horse, ferret, rock, llama, parrot, turtle, lizard etc) and you will gain an additional entry (one per person, regardless of the number of "pets" ). My YOUNGEST will then judge your entries and pick her favorite…. that person gains ANOTHER entry. This kid is brutally honest and holds high standards…you’ve all been warned.
How to win:
The contest closes at 11:59 PM on December 24th, Nora will choose the "best pet" on the 25th and we will be shooting for the winner on the 26th (weather permitting)
- I will be “selecting” a winner the same way I did last year. Everyone will have their names put on an index card for each entry they have. The cards will be shuffled and then taped, face down on a large piece of cardboard. THEN my youngest daughter will shoot paintballs at the cardboard. As index cards are hit, they are eliminated (yes, it will be videoed again)…last member standing takes the PGP.
