Raffle Prizes

[I Love teeth]

I am looking for ideas for an item or items to sell tickets for fund raising at our local archery club. If you bought this ticket what would you want the prize to be? It could be hunting or fishing items. Thanks

thermacells are a good idea, gift certificates to fleet, gander, cabelas etc

A freezer full of meat draws interest from everyone. I think you want something that applies to the masses, so stay away from archery stuff. You dont mention how much money you wanna spend.....

a ruger 10/22, camping stuff, like lanterns and propane stoves....

dont you have to have a special license or something if you want to give away guns???

[CodyDawg]

You have to have a gambling permit to raffle off anything. I am assuming that his local club is a 501C3 organization and is able to attain said permit. I am not aware of anything special needed for giving away guns other than following the NICS rules.

I am an officer at a VFW Men's auxiliary and we have had this discussion. Here is a link that you can go to for gambling rules

Under quick links:

Fund Raising & Exempt or Excluded Permit forms.

Exempt Raffles:

If you have something that is over $1500 and under $50000. You have to apply for a permit ($50) before 30 days before the drawing. 30 days after you have to fill out a form that describes how many tickets were sold and left over and what prizes were given and what were left. Limited to 5 functions per year. Any advertising has to list the top 3 dollar items, the time and location. Also have to post the rules at the location.

Excluded Raffle:

Don’t have to apply for the permit. Under $1500. Still have to post the rules.

Rod & reel combo, braided and/or mono line, knives, flashlights, various tackle/lures, tackle box, ammo storage box, leatherman/multi use knives, rifle scope, gun case, depth finder, etc etc etc.

If there was a raffle fundraiser that had this kind of stuff I would be all over it.
