"Hello to all there, I am a gunsmith student who attended the event at the speedway on April 11-12. I did not get a chance to speak with the Brownells staff much, but I felt obligated to tell you what an outstanding job you guys did putting the event together! Even though flights were canceled, and the weather poor, your staff and the attending employers did a great job. As a job seeker I "hope" that I don't have to attend again.. That being said I still would enjoy attending a second time.. Thanks to you all, and have a great day."
Aaron Barker (PGS Graduate)
