February 24th, 2019 Location: Vahalla Hunt Club, Vahalla, CO. Hosted By: River Deep and SCI HOP Participants: Craig Hospital Trap Shoot and Pheasant Hunt for Craig Hospital There is a couple of inches snow on the ground, the sky is blue and the sun is out. We will be using two track chairs to navigate the terrain. One of the chairs is brand new and is on loan to us from Rocket Mobility. Everyone is anxious to try it on the snow covered fields. We start with some trap shooting, the School of Mines is with us and will be testing out a new version of a shooting rest.The clays fly and are consistently being broken as we have some experienced shooters. After the Trap Shooting is done we headed down to the clubhouse for lunch and discussion on all the new equipment. After lunch its time to head up to the fields in search of pheasants with the pointing dogs leading the way. We manage to put a few in the pot. It's been a great day and a big thanks to all the groups and volunteers who made it possible. Bob Adwar River Deep, President SCI HOP, VP/Humanitarian Chairman ![]()

February 9th, 2019 Location: RMS Gear, Wheat Ridge, CO. Hosted By: River Deep and SCI HOP Participants: Craig Hospital & Operation TBI Freedom We have a great turnout today, fifty people including staff and volunteers. Some have been here before and some are here for their first time. Most importantly, everyone is excited about learning or gaining new skills from the expert staff at RMS Gear. We start with the range rules and the fundamentals of shooting traditional bows. Some have brought their compound bows and will be instructed with the skills that are specific to them. Everyone moves up to the shooting line with their instructors, and arrows fly towards the targets. All the participants have big smiles on their faces as they are having a great time learning a fantastic sport. At lunch time, we are treated to a tasty meal provided by Ranch West 40 It's been a great day, and a big thanks to the expert staff at RMS Gear, the Ranch West 40 and all the volunteers who made this wonderful outing possible.

The class was held at the Cottonwood Center for the Arts. Eight veterans attended the class and afterwards, we all enjoyed pizza and refreshments.
