Welcome to Caffaru cast everyone. It's Wednesday, bright and early in the morning and I have Chris Ham with HHA Sports.

On the mic, this is kind of weird thing. This is kind of cool for me. I shot HHA probably 20 years ago with my buddies in Wisconsin and recently got, uh, got the sights.

Kind of feel a little guilty. I haven't given them more love. Uh, these things are amazing. So I got to hold a Chris and asked if he'd hop on the podcast. So Chris, welcome, welcome aboard.

Welcome, welcome aboard on your end there. I appreciate you coming back around you, even though it took 20 years.

Guy, I tell you, uh, Mike Herne was the one that messaged me actually. He, uh, you deal with a lot of, uh, you know, you're pretty good to veterans and he, you know, might mean in the military was like, man, you got to check these out.

So, uh, you know, got a couple ordered and immediate guilt fell upon me because I'm like, this is a side I probably should be given a lot more love to.

And then, you know, obviously finding out a little bit more, um, you know, about your, your dealings with the veterans, what you started with there.

I didn't hurt anything. I was like, man, that's pretty cool. So what?

Guess what, you know, before I start talking too much, tell everybody a little bit about the company, what you're doing for veterans and, you know, kind of go from there.

Yeah, I mean, we'll, we'll dive into the whole company history and then where we've been, where we're going here in a little bit, but, uh, just a short story.

My dad started H your chase for 1984. I'm 47 years old. It's the only job that I've ever, I've ever had. So very, very blessed there.

Um, and then I'm going to say probably five or six years ago, I, uh, I got turned on to an organization called the Honor Flight Network. And they, they said veterans of World War II Korea and Vietnam, the DC, the memorials are recorded in their honor and starting as a ground volunteer for them.

I instantly fell in love with the organization and after about two or three trips as a ground grunt.

I was driving home from the airport one night. I thought, man, I've got a really successful archery business. How can I leverage that to raise money for this organization that I love so much. And so we started putting on our shoots here in Central Wisconsin and, and, gosh, three years went by and we had raised almost a hundred grand for this honor flight.

And then we decided to start our own organization so that we could not just work with them, but work with other, you know, other areas of need in the, in the veteran in the first responder community as far as post dramatic stress goes and, and getting, getting those folks into, into hunting and fishing scenarios to help combat PTSD.

So that that's kind of in a nutshell what we do now. I'm just, that was outflang in Samaritan this morning. I'm getting ready to head off the model for a shoot. We've got, we've got bets coming in from all over the country, literally coast to coast for a shoot this weekend here. So it's our fourth of, fourth to six archery shoots and we're hoping to, hoping to maybe hit six figures with money's raised this year just to help our best in our first responders to the sport of archery.
