Childrens' firearms programs in need of ammo

[Farmritch]

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

 

[raptrbreth]

I will sell some for $75 a bulk pack

Really who needs some in the Indy area?

JUST a follow on to this thread, two things.
1.) First I received a shipment yesterday from a member of this thread (who is requesting to remain anonymous), of 2300 rounds for the HOOSIER BURN CAMP.... Thank you so much... (you know who you are!) This is about half to a third of what we usually go through annually with the kids, but a scaled back program for a year is better than no program at all. If we have anything left over, it will be forwarded to Jedi for the Winimac DNR shoot two weeks later.

2. In looking for ammo I talked to a couple representatives at CCI. They said in fact they were running 24/7 and producing "4+ million rounds a day" (actually they would not say exactly how many for competitive reasons, but I Did get at least the bottom end number). They also had "diverted" TWENTY Million rounds of 22 LR to Youth training programs this month, of which the Boy Scouts took 10 million of them, alone... They had hoped by making the news releases and announcements that they would be able to "encourage" the others, (Winchester, Remington etc) to do the same but it does not appear to have worked. I have been trying to contact both... (Personally, I have bought my last Remington product partly as a result... As far as I am concerned they can sit out there in New York and fade away until they decide to go somewhere that respects the constitution instead of that socialistic hole of a state... rant over)

Winchester doesn't even post a customer contact number for Youth programs... And of course the foreign manufacturer's could care less, as they laugh themselves all the way to the bank with these extremely inflated prices...

On a positive note: The CCI rep did say to be patient till late summer as once the "basements of America" become full with all the ammo that people are buying in the morning at walmart and selling on the internet later the same evening, there is going to be a lot of people trying to dump the stuff as the prices come back down...

Hopefully that is the case, we did see a bit of this back in 2007-8 if I recall correctly.

Met Jim last night and handed off 525 rounds to him for the SJC 4H Rifle Club.

Nice guy. Chatted a bit with him and the other Jim with him riding shotgun.

They still need much more so step up Michiana INGO!

Info

Several people have mentioned that the current ammunition run is likely to impact programs that teach children safe and effective firearms handling.

I am starting this thread in hope that we INGOers can help out.

If you know of a child who is not able to participate in a formal firearms education program due to them not being able to find ammo, please post of the need here.

If you know of a program that conducts firearms education for children and is unable to function due to their lack of ammo, please post here.

To be clear, I am talking about formal programs like The Appleseed Project or 4H marksmanship programs, etc. I am not talking about someone needing ammo to take their kid shooting (that is a serious and legitimate need, but I would like this thread to focus on a narrow subject in hopes that we can be effective).

I also formally ask that this thread be kept clear of the political/economics/morality/price gouging/hoarding/hair pulling discussions that are being conducted in many other threads.

If you know of a need that fits the description, please post it up and let's see if we can help out. If you have some ammo that you would come off of for this use, keep an eye on this thread.

Email from Johnathon Shannon:



I received your name from Dr. Carroll. I am in charge of shooting sports (pistol & rifle) in Montgomery County (Crawfordsville).
We have applied and received many NRA Grants but did not apply the last year because we had a small number of advanced students. Currently we have 4 students who have made it to their 4th year of shooting sports. They will be shooting Remington 700 in .308. We did not anticipate an ammunition shortage for the club but we find ourselves without ammunition. I am asking for you to put up a post on INGO requesting 400 rounds of target 308 for our 4 kids for their summer shoots. We might be able to purchase some if the price is reasonable ($15/20 rds). Unfortunately, we cannot use reloads. Thank you for any help you can provide in our quest to get ammunition by May 28.

Follow up email: I left some information out. We have a large supply of 22LR. We could trade a brick or two for some 308.

Hey gang,

I serve on the board of directors at Camp Potawotami, a local old school Y summer camp. A few years ago I restarted the riflery program at camp, with some of your help. Thanks. That program has allowed hundreds of boys and girls the opportunity to shoot a gun, who may never, ever have that chance otherwise.

This summer, the program is low on .22 shorts. They use shorts or CB caps so they don't have to use ear pro (eye pro still std).

As we all know, ammo of any kind is scarce, and they are just now finding this out. They cannot just drive into town and buy a few bricks.

I have 21st Century Firearms looking, but does anyone have a box or two you would like to donate to the riflery program?

Hit me up here, or via PM.

And many thanks.

Russ

Gave him a 525 brick and they still need more.

If anyone in Michiana can donate to help out the 4H rifle club, contact:

This is not a for profit thread my friend...it is for "Donations" to youth groups in need.

I have taken in from good folks and ingo members and donated to several groups.
I am danger low on personal supply right now and am holding mine to teach the grand daughter this summer.

To all gougers.......Bite me. JMHO

It was a joke because gougers can also "bite me". I was offering what little I have to anyone who needs it in the Indy area. I just need to know who to give it to, hopefully someone who won't then sell it to the highest bidder.

Oops......sorry. Must be color blind tonight.
A bit testy over some other issues involving ammo and just got off on a rant.

The bite me comment was in general.

 

[IN_Sheepdog]

I just wanted to say a BIG thanks to "the Bubba Effect" and "winstonwolf and friends" for their support of the HOOSIER BURN CAMP which took place last week. Due to some careful planning and a little restrictive (judicious?) reasonable limitations they were still able to get a great experience, without just blasting away... (THEY LOVED SHOOTING SOME EMPTY WATER BOTTLES... later in the week. )

Anyway, I have an as yet undietermined amount of the remaining stock which, as agreed is going to be passed on to another Youth Program coming up... I MAY already have a local program that is going to use some of it, so I dont know really how much I have left.

So, it isn't a lot left, but it is something... I havent seen the running list of needs still out there... do we have a FILLED/UNFILLED thread listing...
Will follow up later in the week, but had to at least get this out there, the first day I got back from the camp.

 

[whippo]

I tried helping out the summer camp I went to as a kid, they said they bought everything they needed in time. Would love to know if any camp/program is suffering.

 

[whomhead]

I would be happy to donate a 325 pack of 22lr to any youth shooting sports groups in need.

 

[IN_Sheepdog]

Where we at on this? Any other programs in need, or is this set for the most part this year?

 

[Farmritch]

St Joseph county 4H rifle is off now till August
We went thru the 1000 I donated in this shooting season.
There was 1 other donation but I'm not sure how set they are at this time

I donated a brick. Let me know if they are in need. I really liked those dudes.

 

[The Bubba Effect]

Looks quiet as far as I can see. If anyone finds a new need, let me know and I'll edit the OP.
