cfbmt charity

This year we auctioned off a custom one-of-a-kind 50th Annual CFBMT Henry 357 lever action rifle engraved by Commemorative Firearms. The proceeds from the auction when to First Fruit Ministries, a charity that truly changes peoples lives. Thanks to our amazing community we raised $11,500 for First Fruit Ministries and Joe Elphick took home his new rifle. None of this would be possible without the help of Jackson David and the Intracoastal Angler team, along with Robert Ayres of Range Time Guns & Outfitting.
