Thanks so much for your efforts Ed!  Worthy cause.  It's good to see you pay it forward.

Thanks, Curtis…, but there’s waaaay more people who make this happen.  I just show up and help where I can.  Pete (phatton) is the real organizer and driving force behind the event.  Best,

I have the honor and privilege of being the president of Hunts For Healing.  I have plans for the benches.  These benches are easily disassembled and reassembled as needed. Contact me at phatton.ptd.net if you would like a copy. The tracked vises and the adjustable vise holding the trigger guard were made for us by Robert Boggs - a member of this site. Check out our web site huntsforhealing.org.  For the Vietnam guys: this organization was established by a group who lived during the Vietnam times and wanted to ensure that Vets returning from the post 9/11 conflicts are treated better than we were.

I tried the phatton.ptd.net address, but it came back as not found.

Did I type it wrong?

I hate to bring up an old topic, but will,there be a 2024 or 25 veterans class?   I have a guy in mind that could probably benefit from something similar?

Ed, how much materially did HRH supply, and how much by the Vet?  Did the VA help at all?

Being a disabled Vietnam Vet myself, have been wondering if maybe I could con er, um, talk to the VA here in central Ohio into a program such as this.  I'd sure volunteer as a mentor, and agree the Woodsrunner is a splendid product.
