the previous ownership. He also said he has experience replacing parts and accessories on guns. Over the past couple of weeks and months, Jim has spent some time with Preisinger learning about Colby and the store’s client base.

“I’m hoping I can keep people as happy as Mike did,” Oliveri said. “We went out together a couple of times and wherever we went, everybody knew him and was happy to see him. I’m hoping to build that same type of relationship with the community.”

If you need a hunting or fishing license, Jim said he needs his login from the DNR yet but he expects to be able to sell licenses starting the first week of November. Jim said the ranges are open for use and his limited stock of accessories and ammunition is available for purchase.

Club members can use the ranges for free while the general public can use the pistol range for a $12 fee and the rifle range for $7. Starting in November, Jim will begin selling memberships for those interested again. Jim is hoping to host a grand opening sometime in November.

Stop by the store at W327 County Rd N in Colby or give Jim a call at 715-223-3256 to see what hunting needs Sparky’s can help you with.
