Gentlemen,
Today our group, Aggie 3-Gunners, became an officially recognized student organization. This is a momentous occasion as <span style="font-weight: bold">we are the first and only collegiate 3-gun/multi-gun team in the country.</span>

I will ensure that this organization is a success and in the process I hope to not only bring vast numbers of young people into the sport, but also to desensitize our college campus to AR’s and guns in general, showing that good, law abiding citizens use these tools in a safe and legitimate sport.

We need your help though to make this a success. As you can see below, we only lack one requirement to become fully recognized, an insurance policy to cover our organization and its members. <span style="text-decoration: underline">If we do not raise enough funds to procure this within 40 days, our group will no longer exist.</span>

The insurance policy is through the NRA and Lockton Risk—I can send anyone a copy of the policy that requests it. It will cost us $708.52 annually.

We are setting our fundraising goal for $2000 to cover this policy and to buy tabling and advertising materials and uniforms/t-shirts to get our group off the ground.

If you can donate to help us out, it would be greatly appreciated! If you have any used gear or accessories you’d like to donate for our members to use or for us to auction off to raise funds, please contact me at [email protected] so I can send you my personal address, as the university mail slots are for letters only.

<span style="font-size: 14pt">Please also contact me if you would like to sponsor Aggie 3-Gunners—we could use the support and help!</span>

If possible keep us updated on how the fund raising is going.

Joe if this happens with Katie and they need any help raising funds for the team let us know. There are a lot of people that would like to help out.

It was a hard road--a month and a half, calling every single day and dealing with the university and their super ultra strict policies... But it's all been worth it and I'll do everything I can to see it through and make this organization and this team a success. We really appreciate all the support--hopefully when we start tabling on campus, we'll receive a similar welcome.

Wish they had this when i was in college. we shot NCAA 22 and air rifle. I think i fell asleep at the range during the a match at least twice. I doubt i could fall asleep or loose intrest at one of these matches. Congrats for getting this going!!!

Just got back Sunday night from helping out at the Texas Multi-Gun Championship and practically slept all of yesterday. I just wanted to keep everyone updated that we have someone who offered to cover our insurance, but we still need help with some expenses to get off the ground. Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated and if you or your company would like to help sponsor us, we would be more than happy to put your logo on our shirts and advertise for you at our meetings. We currently have a goal of raising $1500 besides insurance:
$150 banners
$100 posters (corrugated plastic)
$150 printed material, fliers, etc
$100 PVC frame for tabling
$600 t-shirt order including team uniforms
$150 membership pins
$100 a-frame posters
$50 folding table
$100 misc (Velcro, tape, pens, etc)

Thank you for all your support!
