I am about to try and start a bp program with a Christian outdoors organization that puts on free shoots for kids. They don't have any gear except what I would bring with me, and that isn't much. Does anyone know of any organizations that would donate guns and/or accessories to such an organization?

Thanks for the help.

Howdy Mr. Bull,
Just what all are you looking for?
Rifle stuff?
Pistol stuff?
Revolver stuff?

Well, right now just rifles and rifle stuff. I found out today that they are now affiliated with Texas Parks and Wildlife, so they may some rifles that we can borrow. I only have one and my son has one. With the number of kids that show up at these shoots, that may not be enough.

Hi RoaringBull,
For your donations, can you furnish a Federal Tax exemption form? What's the name of the Christian organization? Do they have a webpage? Where will the shoots take place? What's the name of the TP&WD program?

I'm active in the Challenged Outdoorsmen of America is the reason I ask these questions. To get donations from companies I'll need this information.

Good luck with the program

The shoots take place in Gradview, TX

Thanks for the help.

Let me understand this.... Mission Outdoors is selling these activities to various organizations?

Not that I am aware of. I was under the impression that there is a membership, but the shoots are put on for kids that come out to the ranch on the first Sat of the month. I will check into why there is a pricelist.

The price list is for groups of people to come in and use the range, guns, etc. for a private affair. This is the only other way we have of getting money to allow 200 kids a month to come out and shoot pistols, rifles, bows all day long and eat lunch all for free. That number is no exaggeration, last month there was 176 kids that signed in at the gate. We are expecting 250 this month.

Try (calling) contacting T/C,,

Last year they helped me out with 2 .50 cal. Hawkens for my Hunting Safety Class's..

I wrote them a letter explaining that I needed a ML for my class's and if I could get a discount to buy one.
Well after sending them all the paperwork they asked for and after waiting for them doing a check with the New State DEC and verifying that I was an Instructor, they send me 2 Percussion Hawkens after about 9 months.

That was a big surprise, I was only expecting to buy one cheap and they send me the two for nothing...

Thats one of the reasons I'm a big T/C fan..

I sent them a request letter a little while back and I think that they are contacting the folks in charge about all that stuff. We'll see what happens. Things keep coming along like they are we are going to need additional volunteers to help us out.
