Speaker 2 (00:29):
Welcome afternoon, and welcome to the Gun Guy Show here
on ninety three WIBC. Hope you're enjoying your weekend. Hope
you had a chance to get outside and bust some primers,
exercise your Second Amendment rights. You know, in the first
segment last week, I mentioned an event that I'm excited
about and I just registered for I didn't just register
for it, I signed my whole team up. I've got
(00:50):
a squad, got a team. We're gonna go out and
shoot in plays for a cause, which is coming up Thursday,
September eleventh, obviously an important date in this country's history.
And I can't imagine a better thing to do on
a date like that than go out, exercise your Second
Amendment rights and raise some money for the Salvation Army
(01:13):
and at risk children right here in Central Indiana. And
it's going to be at the Indiana Gun Club again.
It's Thursday, September eleventh. This is a fundraiser to send kids.
The Salvation Army is sending at risk kids to the
Hidden Falls Camp down in Lawrence County, down by Bedford, Indiana.
(01:34):
But joining me with much more in the way of
detail and information on this is Division Commander of the
Indiana Division of Salvation Army, Major Mark Johnson. Major Mark,
thanks so much for joining us here on the Gun
Guy Show.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Oh, thank you so much for having me. It's pleasure
to be here.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Absolutely So the Hidden Falls Camp. First of all, tell
me about the camp, because at the end of the day,
this event is really about raising money to send at
risk kids to that particular camp, is it not.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
That's correct. The Salvation Army has a long history of
bringing people to camp. Specifically, it started with inner city
families with the we're called fresh air camps because they
a lot of families that were poor didn't have any
way to get out of even the city for the summer,
so it provided a respite. And it's been part of
(02:24):
our history now for a long long time. And the
camp down in Hidden Falls is a beautiful seven hundred
acre camp with trails and indoor swimming pool. We have
outdoor activities like a zip line, high ropes, low ropes,
you name it. We do it for kids and in
for families as well.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
That's fantastic. Now, is this going to be all age
groups of kids or are we focused on particular age groups.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Well, for the overnight camping, it's focused on basically six
year olds and up through eighteen. But there are other
family camps where the entire family can come and other
activities throughout the year.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Well, tell me about Clays for a Cost coming up
on September eleventh, and you'll see my name on the roster.
I signed up my team this morning actually, and I'm
in it to win it. I'm a little competitive. I
come out there. I love shooting sporting plays. By the way,
it's one of the all time great shooting activities you
can possibly engage in. But tell me about the event,
(03:23):
give the specifics and if people are interested, how could
they possibly sign up?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Sure? Well, the easiest way to sign up is Clays
for a Cause dot net And that's FLR, not a
number four. Clays for a Cause dot net And the
event really is like you said to help us raise
funds to our summer camp to help kids go to camp.
And the event itself will happen on September eleventh. Registration
(03:49):
starts at twelve thirty. We aim to get guys and
the ladies back on the road by five thirty pm,
so it'll be a nice afternoon. You get to shoot
fifty round sporting clays up at the beautiful Indiana Gun
Club Sporting Clays Course, and it's two hundred and twenty
five dollars for an individual person or eight hundred dollars
(04:10):
for a team of four, so you get a little
discount there for that. And we will have a short program,
awards program, and one of the most exciting things really
for me is, you know, there's always things to purchase,
and there'll be some great packages there that you can
bid on in a silent auction type thing. But we
(04:31):
do things a little bit differently. We have donated Bonelli
I believe it's an M two shotgun Nelly and everyone,
every paid shooter gets one ticket into the drawing for
that gun just for showing up and supporting us. Of course,
that's really pretty good odds because last year we had
(04:51):
about forty eight shooters, so you can improve your odds
there by purchasing a few more tickets and making a
donation for the Salva Army. So it's a fun event.
We have an MC by the name of mister Creek Stewart.
He's an outdoor wilderness survivalist right here from Indiana, lives
(05:12):
here in Indianapolis, and he has come out and actually
donated his time to teach at our Salvetion Army outdoor
camp in overnight camp for kids where they sleep in tents,
chop their own wood, cook over a fire, all those
kinds of things. On the Oh, yeah, it is cool.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
So when I talk to people about sporting play fundraisers
and I'm looking at the details on clays for a cause,
so we know there are answers to each of these things.
But I hear things like, gosh, I've never shot sporting
clays before. I don't really know what I'm doing. I'd
love to support this cause, but could I show up
(05:50):
and shoot an event like this and still enjoy it
even though I'm not an experienced shooter?
Speaker 3 (05:56):
You know, guy, I heard you say your team is
a little on the competitive side. That's wonderful, but it's
also for the person who's never done it before. The
Indiana Gun Club included in your registration is not only
your shotgun shells for the day in all the rounds
for the play shoot, but also if you don't have
(06:17):
a gun, they'll include a loaner shotgun for you and
we'll you'll go with some experienced people. It's a great
time to come and learn. So there's we're open for
all levels competitive. There are some pretty cool trophies in
the shape of a walnut clay pigeon, so yeah, they're
pretty cool and so but you do not have to
(06:40):
know how to do this or even own your own
shotgun to come and support the Salvation Army and have
a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
I'll say that is absolutely true. I've shotten a lot
of fundraisers at Indiana Gun Club in particular, and they
do such a nice job out there. There's some oversight,
there's a safety lesson at the beginning. The way this
stations are set up. You know, the thing I love
about sporting plays among so much I love about it,
but one thing I love is it's set up so
(07:08):
well for beginners. Because you stand up on the station,
you don't load your shotgun until your barrel's over. They're
railing on this station that's set up out there. There
are posts on either side, so you can only swing
the shotgun so far in either direction. The bird goes up.
Either hit it or you don't. And you know, you
shoot your four shots per station or so and go
(07:30):
on to the next one. And you know, it's not
like golf where you got to chase the ball off
into the woods. It's not like tennis where you got to,
you know, chase the ball that you've just hit over
the fence. You know, you stand up, you shoot, you
hit the bird, you don't hit the bird. You have
a great time. You learn as you go, you get better.
If you've never done it before, you'll get better station
to station to station. And I love watching beginners walk
(07:52):
out of there with a great, big, huge smile on
their face. And here they could do that because they
had a great time shooting sporting plays, but also because
they had a great time raising money for at risk
kids right here in central Indiana.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Yeah, can I just tell you a quick story about
our summer camp at that outdoor living camp. One of
the activities was clay shooting, and right there on camp.
We don't have a sporting clays thing, but we could
throw some clays and there were young boys and girls
who had never shot before, and some were afraid to
do it. And they get up there and you're helping
(08:25):
them with their stance and they take their first shot
and oftentimes they miss, of course, but you know that second, third,
or fourth time and they hit a clay, their chest
just pops out and they got a grin from ear
to ear because you know, I did that, I accomplished something.
So it's about self esteem as much as having a
lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
So beautiful time, Absolutely true. And listen the last question
before we reiterate how folks can get involved or get
signed up. But you know one thing about any form
of fundraiser, a lot of times people are worried. You know,
I'm not really sure where my money going. I'm not
sure if I'm going to spend money here in Indiana
and my money is going to be shipped off to
(09:06):
some other place in the country. I'm not really sure.
You know, who's going to benefit from my contribution to
something like this. And one of the reasons I love
working with Salvation Army and I'm so proud of WIBC
for doing the radio thon every year. It raises money.
Is we're working with the Indiana Division of Salvation Army,
and we know where our money goes when we participate
(09:29):
in an event like this or where we when we
raise money for Salvation Army Indiana.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
That's right, it stays here, it stays local. And you know,
you put money in a kettle in Bedford, Indiana, and
it's going to stay in Bedford, Indiana. It's going to
go to work right in that community. So all across
the state, we're at work in every single county across
the state in one way or another. And so we
we serve Hoosiers, and Hoosiers support us. So we couldn't
(09:54):
do what we do without the support of the many
great Hoosiers who live in the state who say, Hey,
I want to help. I want to help others out
who maybe don't have it as as good as I do,
or have a need, ran into a problem that they
didn't see, and I'm going to help them over the
hump by helping the Salvation Army.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Fantastic. Well, I'll tell you what. Let's remind folks I've
heard this. They say, yeah, I want to do this.
I want to register my team of four for eight
hundred bucks, or I want to register as an individual,
which is fine. They'll get put on a team, you know,
and be able to participate for two hundred and twenty
five for an individual. Somebody wants to get involved, how
again do they go do that?
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Best way is just to go to our website plays
for a Cause, plays fo r for a Cause dot
net and you can register right there get more information.
It'll give you all the details. September eleventh. Registration starts
at twelve thirty. We're going to be shoot on the
course by two. We're going to have supper together around
(10:51):
four thirty, and by five thirty after our program and
of course that drawing for that Benelli shotgun, along with
the other great things that you could purchase. Uh, we'll
be out of there by five thirty, quarter to six.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Fantastic Well Major Mark Johnson Division Commander Estatelesian Army, Indiana,
thank you so much for joining us. I will see
if you're going to be out there. I hope you are.
I'll be out there. I'd love to shake your hand
because I'll show be there on September eleventh. That plays
for a cause, So thank you so.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Much, looking forward to it. All right, God bless you.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Too, sir. That is it for this segment. We're going
to take a break. We'll be right back. We'll take
