K-VAR CORP. And ARSENAL, INC. – A Joint Effort Benefiting BSA And NRA

Friday, May 2nd, 2014

This is an announcement from K-VAR Corp and Arsenal, Inc. regarding recent charitable donations that went to benefit the Las Vegas Area Boy Scouts of America as well as the NRA. As a Scouter and NRA Life Member, this is great news.

LAS VEGAS, NV – K-Var Corp. and Arsenal, Inc., have joined together in an effort to give back to our loyal customers and to help educate local groups in gun safety and recreational activities. In the current political climate, we have found that the impact we make outside of the industry is just as important as the impact within. Last month, Arsenal and K-Var joined together once again to donate over twenty-five thousand dollars to the Las Vegas Area Boy Scouts of America in sponsoring the 7th Annual Arsenal Sporting Clays and Scout Steel Challenge. To aid the fundraising efforts of the BSA, several of our firearms were donated for a silent auction to benefit the education of scouts throughout the Las Vegas Valley.

In addition to our local work, K-Var Corp. and Arsenal, Inc., recognize the important and invaluable work being done by our friends at the National Rifle Association. Our donation of a Gold Edition MTK90 Jubilee Rifle to the NRA auctions was recently won for $21,000.00. Those funds can now be used to help fund the firearm education of the general public.

We hope to continue our local and national work to benefit you, our loyal customers and friends, and we also hope that you will do the same. Every donation to the NRA, the FAIR Trade Group, or to other organizations can make a difference for the future.

SOWW – Takin Bacon 2014

Thursday, April 3rd, 2014

Special Operations Wounded Warriors (SOWW) had its 3rd annual event Takin Bacon 2014 several weeks ago at an Undisclosed location in North Carolina. The Reaper Outdoors Team led by SEAL Master chief Ron “Reaper-01” Bellan covered the event and filmed the event for the hit TV show ‘Survive the Hunt’.

Hunt 1

SOWW brought in 13 SOF heroes including SEAL (ret.) Jason Redman, Wounded Wear. Each of the SOF hunters were issued a Mil-Tac knife to take down their wild hog. The SOF hunters were broken down into hunting parties that were lead by local guides equipped with teams of dogs to track down the hogs. Its difficult to figure out who is having a better time, the dogs or the hunters. The hunt is filled with exhilarating moments. When the dogs begin to bay a pig its an all out sprint through brush, swamp, mud, water, and briars to get to the cornered pig. Once the handler lets go of the catch dog its time for the hunter to use his Mil-tac knife for its expressed purpose. Its truly an up close and personal hunting experience.

Hunt 2

The weekend is not only about tracking and taking down hogs. SOWW provides the SOF hunters with tons of excellent sponsored gear. More importantly though, its about the fellowship and camaraderie around the camp fires at night. It’s a truly unique experience that fosters brotherhood and healing.

SOWW is a 501c3 organization that gets wounded SOF back in the woods, on family retreats, fishing and hunting trips throughout the USA. If you want to support and learn more, please go to www.sowwcharity.com.
