That right there is just about the coolest kid-oriented program I've ever heard of. IMHO, it deserves its own thread:
The kids get to turkey hunt from a blind, using a shotgun with the sights specially video connected with a screen, so the guide/mentor can also see their sight picture.
To accommodate their physical disabilities, as for well as safety reasons, the gun is fired via a squeeze-bulb; but both the shooter AND the guide have one, and BOTH must be squeezed simultaneously, or the gun doesnt fire.
To add to the experience, their parents/guardians are in the blind with them, too.
The whole cost for them to participate, including transportation, meals, and accommodations, are covered by the program. A local rancher donates the use of his property for the hunting. What's the name/location of that event?

I’d have to contact the pastor of that church to find out; it’s not our church. May take a while, but I’ll see what I can find out further.

(If any of their "Alternatives" actually works, the Greenies will proceed to kill it.)
