The National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) has partnered with the Midway USA Foundation, Inc to raise money for high school and college shooting teams across the country. This is an exciting partnership with 2300 chapters across the country promoting youth shooting through their "Jakes Take Aim" program and now assisting in the growth of high school and college shooting team endowments. If you have an NWTF chapter in your area thank them for their support of your team by attending a banquet and volunteering to help with the "Jakes Take Aim" program.
