Don't know how many of you are familiar with Americansnipers.org but they send gear to deployed snipers. Spent a lot of time with these guys during SHOT show. They auctioned off a couple of amazing shadow boxes with USMC and Army items in them. Both of them went for 5 figures. I saw the bidding and I know Brownell's and Black Hills ammo kicked in some serious change in there bidding. I think those companies deserve some recognition. Now if I could only afford to support them. The black hills ammo is good, but breaks my bank :)

Indeed, great group of folks there! We donated a bunch of kit last year for a giveaway sponsored here on the ARFCOM. It was good to see them at the show.

A large number of the advertisers and manufacturers here have supported our efforts with AmericanSnipers and they are guys who simply are above reproach. A total class act group with a focus on helping our troops.
We are finalizing plans for a 2010 fund raiser for AmericanSnipers and will announce details as soon as we have things worked out. There's always a lot of interest from companies to help and we hope to have a few special additions to things for this year's efforts.
