💛CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF WILKY - THE RESULTS!💚

Imagine this: you’re the President of a small club, the youngest President in the Association.

Your club is hosting it’s 50th Anniversary. You’re in charge of the whole show, including a bunch of party-going volunteers.

You pull-off a successful shoot and a magnificent celebration.

Then to top it all off you shoot like a demon and take out the 2-Day Overall High Gun! WHAT A FEAT!

A hearty congratulations to LUKE BATTEN and of course all the winners from the weekend….
