Gun Runner Charity Poker Run

September 29, 2020September 29, 2020 Big Boy Gun Runner, Hellbender Harley-Davidson, Southern Devil Harley-Davidson

There are a few things that go great together in life. Chocolate and Peanut Butter. Hot Dogs and Hamburgers. Beers and Brats. Another great pairing is the combination of two iconic American symbols. Motorcycles and Guns.

Now, to make this even a better combination is when you may combine these two together for a great cause.

A portion of the proceeds will support Truth in Nature, reaching the fatherless. “Our mission is to reach, inspire, support, and engage young men from fatherless and single parent homes in understanding their purpose as Christian men and helping break the fatherless cycle in society today.

This October 10th, let’s combine some good American fun to a cause. The Gun Runner Shootout will begin at Hellbender Harley-Davidson on October 10th, with registration beginning at 10AM with the last kickstand up at 12 noon. We will have a suggested map for the run for you to follow on the Harley-Davidson Ride App. Here is the link for the actual ride with all locations marked in the order of the Gun Run: https://maps.harley-davidson.com/share/rides/lBJHac84z

Rules of the Game

Registration for the Gun Runner will be $20 per rider. A passenger may also participate in the shoot for $20 per passenger. Each participant will receive 5 x 9mm bullets, ensuring every rider will have ammo for the shootout. We just wanted to ensure each participant had available ammo for the event. We will provide any rider a 9mm pistol to use at the range to participate if needed by a participant.

There are 2 Mulligans available for each rider in the game. You may discard any two cards and reshoot, up to two cards for an additional $20. You may add your Mulligans at registration. Remember this is for charity.

The allowed caliber of pistol used for the Gun Run are the following:45,40,9,380,.38, and a 357
*iron sights only. no lazer sights or special targeting sights allowed.

All participants of the Gun Runner must ride a motorcycle to participate. This does include that your passenger is eligible.

Each rider will receive a sheet at registration/check-in. This sheet you will need to complete the top portion for identification. The bottom portion will be your hand. The card sheet will be verified by the crew of Hellbender, Southern Devil, and Grease Inc. at each location. You must have your card or shot verified and signed off to be eligible to win.

At each of the ranges you will receive a new target with a deck of cards laid out. The targets will be set at 5 yards on the range to shoot. You will get one shot at your target for your card selection. Again, you will need to bring your target to the on-site verification staff team for them to complete and sign off on your hand. (You may take some practice shots at each range prior to your card shot. Please keep it no more than one magazine at each range.)

There will be a couple of safety videos and waiver to be signed required by law and insurance to participate. We will have the safety video for Governors Gun Club available at Hellbender Harley-Davidson prior to the ride start, and the safety video for Adventure Outdoors and Truth in Nature will be on-site at Adventure Outdoors before you are able to enter the range.

At each range, our group will be assigned Range Safety Instructors. Follow their instructions exactly, as the Safety Instructors are here for everyone’s safety. Follow all range guidelines and safety instructions. Safety is our number one priority at this event.
