MidwayUSA Foundation Collaborates with Industry Leaders to Feature Makayla Scott’s Field of Dreams During National Shooting Sports Month

MidwayUSA Foundation currently funds approximately 2,800 youth shooting teams at the high school and collegiate level. This results in thousands of youth athletes competing in shooting sports across the nation because funding is available. One of those athletes can be found in the hills of West Virginia breaking clays on a trap field that exists because of her determination and industry leaders believing in her goals.

Makayla Scott wasn’t always so determined. In and out of foster care at a young age, she struggled to fit in. That changed when she found her forever family in The Scotts and at the same time, found her passion for pulling the trigger. Makayla was twelve years old when she joined the local 4-H shotgun team and recalls that life-changing moment. “There was a wonderful team of coaches that got me behind that shotgun. As soon as I took that first shot, the first thing I hit…it was like fireworks.” Fast forward years later and Makayla’s desire to give other youth that same experience, led to building a trap field in her own backyard. Appropriately named ‘Field of Dreams,’ Makayla turned this dream into a reality through hard work and the collaboration of three companies. Read more

Whitetails Unlimited Grants $53,000 to Catch-A-Dream Foundation

Whitetails Unlimited recently completed the second half of the Dream Sheds V program which raised more than $53,000 for the Catch-A-Dream Foundation. That brings this year’s program total to over $110,000. Since the inception of Dream Sheds in 2012, Whitetails Unlimited has provided grants totaling just shy of $700,000 to the Catch-A-Dream Foundation.

The Dream Sheds concept began when Mark and Terry Drury, who have produced extraordinary hunting videos and television shows for over 30 years as Drury Outdoors, approached Whitetails Unlimited with an innovative idea. They had collected a large number of exceptional shed antlers from their properties in Iowa and Missouri and were willing to donate them to use as a fundraiser for a worthy cause. Working with WTU, the Catch-A-Dream Foundation was identified, and the program came together. This is now the fifth time Terry and Mark have provided the sheds that help make this program successful.

Catch-A-Dream is a national, charitable foundation, that provides once-in-a-lifetime dream hunting and fishing trips to children across the United States and Canada, age 18 and younger, who suffer from life-threatening illnesses. Through these adventures, and exposure to outdoors-minded people who care, the program instills in these children a message of encouragement at a time when they need to know that hope does exist.

SCOTUS Grants Stay in Frame, Receiver Case During 5th Circuit Appeal

The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday granted a stay sought by the Biden administration in a federal challenge of the “new rule” on frames and receivers published by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, allowing the rule to remain in effect while the case moves through the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) was allowed to intervene in the case, which is known as VanDerStok v. Garland, as a plaintiff. The high court stay is in effect through the final disposition of the appeal, including a petition for certiorari. If that petition is made and denied, the stay terminates. If certiorari is granted, the stay remains in effect pending the Supreme Court’s ruling.

“While we are disappointed that the Government’s final rule remains in effect pending the outcome of our appeal,” said SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut, “we remain optimistic that we will ultimately prevail. We believe the district court’s rationale, striking down the final rule, was legally sound and we look forward to defending our position on appeal.” Read more
