I hear they need a team of volunteer reloaders to afford/have enough ammo...

What did they ever do for me? Besides, I heard Pat Robertson say that they made a deal with the devil to get all bulls eyes.

I don't see much diversity in their ranks.

Well, I don't agree that this is a topic to laugh about, but we all have our own priorities. I think this is a good cause and have sent them a check.

I have sent them money for the last couple years, and the team did quite well in these last Olympics. That said, I am rather tired of constant requests from them, seems monthly. Seems like everyone has their hand out for money, and this is one of two I have donated to in recent times. The local sherrifs organization is the other.

So does the Sheriff's organization. Which one would you stiff?

And yes, it is a worthwhile cause and the jokes are nothing against them. Except for that guy! He knows who he is...

Ditto. I've donated for several years. In addition to the good feeling from helping young shooters, they send a calender each year that always has a set of spectacular gun photographs.
