COLUMBIA, MO – January 22, 2013 – The first program that will benefit from the Potterfields donation is the “Adopt a Shooting Team” program. A donation of $501,000 will help support high school and shooting teams all across the country. The second program is the S.A.F.E (Shooting Access for Everyone) Challenge.

“The RMEF shares our vision of ensuring our leaders of tomorrow will have opportunities to remain active in the shooting and hunting industry,” said Larry Potterfield. “Programs like Adopt a Shooting Team and S.A.F.E. give students, teachers and RMEF volunteers the chance to get involved, stay involved and help make a difference.”
