To Whom It May Concern


### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### My name is Stanley E. Harrison Jr. ### I am the President and founder ###of ###The WV Disabled Hunters Club I am a disabled hunter and fisherman I live in the mountain state of West Virginia. ###I was born with cerebral palsy that means I have a type of ###brain damage, ###with my type of CP it destroyed my motor skills and I can't use any of my limbs.

I would like to know if you would consider sponsoring or donate a product to be raffled off to help a disabled hunter fulfill a dream of a life time? And that dream is to get into the wooods and be able to hunt or fish like any one else. That's why I started this club to help other people like myself to get out into the great outdoors! ### ###

Now I know you probably get this type of request all the time! But have you ever received a request from a disabled hunter who took part in his first hunt and kiling his first deer after waiting for over 30 years for the experience?

You see I come from a long line of hunters in my family and I always wanted to go hunting with my dad every year, so I purchased a shooting device off of a disabled hunting web site last year that mounts onto my ###power wheelchair that allows me to move the gun up, down. right, left with a special joystick that I move with my chin, I control the trigger by sucking on a rubber tube that activates a soleniod which pulls the trigger, ###The device is called the SR77 Shooting Rest.

I've used my rig on a controlled Doe hunt and it worked great! The controlled hunt was held at the Green Bank Obseratory in Green Bank, West Virginia 10/05/01
I harvested my first deer on December 8th 01
at the Snowshow Mountain Ski Resort it was a special disabled control Doe hunt sponsored by the WV DNR.

The reason I ###am asking you to donate a product or sponsor ###a disabled hunter is because most of us cannot afford to purchase a new or in some cases used weapons that need to be modified ###for the SR77 Shooting Rest or any other type adapted devices, the weapons
must be modified by cutting off the gun stock just behind the pistol grip, and in most types of the devices a small cabled is attached to the trigger or whatever weapon the hunter is using.

Plus we need help purchasing hunting blinds, canouflag clothing, bows muzzleloaders shotguns rifles
and unting knifes or any other hunting gear and fishing gear.

In my home state of WV there not any orgainizations availabile to assist us in purchasing weapons, fishing gear.

If you could consider sponsoring a hunter ###I would inform the News media about who is helping make hunting and fishing avabilable for wheelchair bound hunters and fishermen in our area.


You see the main reason I started he WDHC is because most disabled hunters only receive a monthly disability check from the state and they can not afford to purchase special adapted gear, ###the WDHC runs mostly off of donations and fundraisers, sponsors like yourselfes.


You see I've been blessed to get my first deer and now through this club I can help other disabled hunters and fishermens dreams come true. ###

We are alo in need of some flat lands like private farms or other private lands, ###that would allow a disabled hunter to hunt from their wheelchairs or crutches or walkers or even a special made cart pulled behind an ATV,
we would be very grateful if you or someone you know could help our cause.



Sincerely,

Stanley E. Harrison Jr.
President and Founder
