Save our Gun Culture ALERT !
April - 2013
We have a problem here at home. The St. Joseph County 4H Shooting Sports Club has asked for help.
They do not have the ammo they need to conduct the youth shoots/training. We need to help them if we can. These kids are the future of our gun culture. They are the ones that will buy guns and ammo and stand up for our 2nd Amendment rights when they get older. Let's get them in the shooting, hunting and fishing culture, before they get into the anti-bill of rights culture.
They need your help. Let's donate some ammo for them to use. We here at the Michiana Shooting News will start with the first 100 rounds. We know ammo is hard to come by, so just 50 rounds will help.
Do your part to "Save Our Gun Culture". The 4H program is important so please donate all you can. They need about 5000 rounds of 22 long rifle ammo to get through this years events.
Contact us directly to help out.
michianashootingnews@gmail.com
or contact us on Facebook or Twitter
All ammo will be donated to the St. Joseph County 4H Shooting Sports Club.

Any other types of ammo needed? If so I may be able to help, if not ill talk to a few LGS owners I know and see if they can help.

"The Firing Pin", located in Niles, MI has a good deal of .22lr in stock as of last week. I'm curious how many children are in the program?

I'd love to contribute. The Marion county 4H and Boy Scouts have not responded to my calls. If anyone is heading up from Indy to St. Josephs county for whatever reason, ping me and I'll be happy to ship some .22s.

Cross posting for needs. I already talked to Indiana shooting sports coordinator for 4-H and she ran my email in the April newsletter regarding the attached thread and our possible helping.

I am trying to get our thread stickied. FYI, Lasalle Council needs ammo too. See my post on the attached thread.

Brick of .22 to the St. Joe County 4H this afternoon. He said that would help get them through their spring training.

If I find some, I will be sure to buy extras for both St Joe and m
Elkhart. I'm sure everyone of these organizations need ammo. My dad is on one of of the boards for Elkhart 4H, I will see if he can find out how many rounds they may need, if anything.

I believe NWI INGO needs help as well for an INGO kids shoot coming up at Winamac.

I would imagine this is a State wide problem. I am on a hunt. Anyone know if Hamilton county has the same problem?

Reminder that Lasalle Council still needs .22 ammo for their summer Camps.Their territory runs from Michigan City to Elkhart County and down to Marshall County as well as up into Michigan.

I am sad to report that St joe county has 3 shooting programs
Rifle,Pistol & Shotgun
The person requesting ammo for St Joe county 4H never mentioned he was from the pistol club.
The rifle club was needing ammo badly and the pistol club was presented with 4000+ rounds the rifle club got no part of this.
I personally donated 1050 rounds to the St Joe county 4H Rifle group, they could use a little more

Surprised they don't share. My understanding is that Marshall co. has inventory they all check out from.

If I'd known that I would have spread it around some.

"Federal Premium and CCI took applications and requests until April 30. Through a regimented process all 20 million rounds have been allocated."

I saw it on the State 4-H shooting sports website. Apparently it wasn't enough.

This was my answer from Federal


We are not accepting orders on our Youth Program this year due to the extreme back log, sorry.

This is one call of, "for the children" I support!

Speaking of, any of you hoarders want to step forward?

I contacted the St. Joe county 4H rifle club guy. Meeting him tonight to drop off a brick of .22lr for his club.

Gave him a 525 brick and they still need more.
