Tomorrow is the second annual Linda Shultz Charity Shoot and Barrett’s Ball. One of the highlights, for me, is to shoot the Barrett .416 Rifle which is built on the M99 platform. The .416 was recently featured on The Discovery Channel’s Futureweapons, accurately shooting a cold bore shot at a target a mile and a half away.

Shooting the Barrett really was the thrill of the event for me last year.

But the event is much more than shooting the Barrett .416. Linda Shultz has become a dear and valued friend. She is someone whose courage and perseverance in her fight against cancer are truly inspirational. The Williamson Herald recently did a story on Linda and her fight against cancer.

Linda Shultz knows full well what cancer can do to a personadn a family. She has been fighting the disease since January 2005. One the weapons she uses her fight is the second annual Linda Shultz Charity Shoot on May 31. The money the shoot raises stays in the community where it goes towards local cancer research and the American Cancer Society’s Middle Tennessee chapter, which helps families who are dealing with cancer. For more information on the shoot, call 615-341-7323 or visit https://main.acsevents.org/nashvillecharityshoot.

It’s too late to sign up for the shooting competition but it’s not too late to come out and shoot the Barrett .416 or you could also shoot the Smith and Wesson 500. Bring money, it is a charity event after all. Shooting these babies won’t be free!

You could also join us for the Baron’s Ball which is being held at Ronnie Barrett’s home in Murfreesboro on Saturday night. It’s western attire and I’m told Ronnie Barrett has some interesting collections. There’s going to be a silent auction with some great items on the block.
