Approximate Retail Value (ARV): $724.99. ARV represents Sponsor's good-faith estimate of the retail value of the prize as of the start of the Sweepstakes Entry Period. The difference, if any, between the stated ARV and the actual value of the prize at the time of award will not be awarded.

The prize is awarded as-is, with no warranty or representation of any kind, express or implied (see Section 12). The prize is not redeemable for cash and has no cash equivalent. The prize may not be substituted, assigned, or transferred by the winner. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value if the advertised prize becomes unavailable, provided that any substitute prize will comply with all applicable firearms laws.

Limit one (1) prize per person and per household.


6. FIREARM TRANSFER REQUIREMENTS

The prize is a firearm. The following requirements are mandatory and are conditions of the award. They cannot be waived by Sponsor.

(a) In-person claim at licensed premises. The winner must personally appear at Sponsor's licensed premises at 1460 E. Deuce of Clubs Show Low, Arizona to take possession of the prize. The prize will not be shipped, delivered, or transferred at any other location.

(b) ATF Form 4473 and background check. At the time of transfer, the winner must personally complete ATF Form 4473 and must undergo a background check through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). The winner must present valid government-issued photo identification bearing his or her current physical residence address, as required by federal law. A post office box is not an acceptable residence address for this purpose.

(c) Transfer only upon a NICS "Proceed" response. Sponsor will transfer the prize only upon receipt of an explicit "Proceed" response from NICS. If NICS returns a "Delayed" response, Sponsor will not transfer the prize on the basis of the expiration of any statutory waiting period. If the delay is not resolved with an explicit "Proceed" response within seven (7) days of the initial attempted transfer, the prize will be forfeited and an alternate winner may be selected in accordance with Section 8.

(d) Denial or prohibition. If NICS returns a "Denied" response, or if the winner is otherwise determined to be prohibited from receiving or possessing a firearm under federal, state, or local law, the prize will be forfeited and an alternate winner may be selected.

(e) The winner must be the actual recipient. The prize will be transferred only to the individual selected as the winner. Sponsor will not transfer the prize to any other person, including a spouse, family member, friend, or agent of the winner, and will not transfer the prize to any person acting on behalf of another. Any attempt by a winner to acquire the prize on behalf of another person will result in immediate forfeiture and may constitute a violation of federal law.

(f) Deadline. The winner must appear at Sponsor's licensed premises and complete the transfer within thirty (30) days after Sponsor's receipt of the winner's signed Affidavit/Release and W-9 (see Sections 7 and 9). Failure to do so will result in forfeiture.

(g) Compliance. All aspects of the transfer will be conducted in strict compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local firearms laws and regulations. Sponsor makes no representation regarding the lawfulness of the winner's subsequent possession, transport, or use of the prize in the winner's specific locality, which remains the winner's sole responsibility.


7. ODDS

Odds of winning depend upon the total number of eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes Entry Period.


8. WINNER SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION

(a) Drawing. The winner will be selected in a random drawing from among all eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes Entry Period. The drawing will be conducted on or about July 28, 2026 by a representative of Sponsor whose decisions are final and binding in all matters relating to the Sweepstakes.

(b) Notification. The potential winner will be notified by email and/or telephone using the contact information provided at the time of entry. Sponsor is not responsible for undeliverable, misdirected, or unmonitored notifications, or for contact information that is inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date.

(c) Response deadline. If a potential winner does not respond to Sponsor's notification within five (5) business days, the prize may be forfeited and an alternate winner selected.

(d) Required documents. The potential winner will be required to complete, sign, and return the following within seven (7) days of Sponsor's notification:

  1. an Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability Release, and Publicity Release ("Affidavit/Release");
  2. a completed and signed IRS Form W-9; and
  3. any other documentation reasonably required by Sponsor to effectuate a lawful transfer of the prize.

Failure to return any required document within the stated period will result in forfeiture and the selection of an alternate winner.

(e) Forfeiture and alternate winners. In the event of forfeiture for any reason under these Official Rules — including failure to respond, failure to return required documents, failure to complete the transfer within the stated deadline, a NICS "Denied" or unresolved "Delayed" response, legal prohibition, or non-compliance with these Official Rules — the prize will be forfeited and Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, select an alternate winner by random drawing from among the remaining eligible entries. Sponsor is not obligated to award the prize if no eligible winner can be identified after a reasonable number of attempts.


9. TAXES

The winner is solely responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes arising from acceptance of the prize. Because the ARV of the prize exceeds $600.00, Sponsor will report the value of the prize to the Internal Revenue Service on IRS Form 1099-MISC. Delivery of a completed and signed IRS Form W-9 is a condition of the award, and no transfer will be completed until Sponsor has received it. Failure to provide a completed W-9 will result in forfeiture.


10. PUBLICITY RELEASE

Except where prohibited by law, entry into the Sweepstakes and acceptance of the prize constitute the winner's consent to Sponsor's use of the winner's name, first initial or first name and last initial, city of residence, photograph, voice, statements, and likeness for advertising, promotional, and publicity purposes in any and all media, now known or hereafter devised, worldwide and in perpetuity, without further notice, review, approval, or compensation.

Sponsor is not responsible for: (i) lost, late, misdirected, damaged, illegible, or incomplete entries; or (ii) any error, omission, interruption, deletion, defect, delay in operation or transmission, theft, destruction, unauthorized access to or alteration of entry materials, or for technical, network, telephone, equipment, electronic, computer, hardware, or software malfunction of any kind.

Sponsor reserves the right to permanently disqualify from any sweepstakes it sponsors any person it believes has intentionally violated these Official Rules, and to cancel, suspend, or modify the Sweepstakes if it becomes technically corrupted or if fraud or other causes beyond Sponsor's reasonable control impair its integrity, and in such event to select a winner from among all eligible entries received prior to the action taken.
