Trap Shoot and Pheasant Hunt for Craig Hospital There is a couple of inches snow on the ground, the sky is blue and the sun is out. We will be using two track chairs to navigate the terrain. One of the chairs is brand new and is on loan to us from Rocket Mobility. Everyone is anxious to try it on the snow covered fields. We start with some trap shooting, the School of Mines is with us and will be testing out a new version of a shooting rest.The clays fly and are consistently being broken as we have some experienced shooters. After the Trap Shooting is done we headed down to the clubhouse for lunch and discussion on all the new equipment. After lunch its time to head up to the fields in search of pheasants with the pointing dogs leading the way. We manage to put a few in the pot. It's been a great day and a big thanks to all the groups and volunteers who made it possible.

Antelope Hunt January ended with River Deep Alliance and SCI-HOP Denver sponsoring one veteran and one active duty soldier in successfully filling the last antelope tags of the 2018-2019 season. The day started off with a quick yet powerful snow storm that covered most of Colorado. Strassburg to Limon was no exception, with some areas reaching almost eight inches of snow and low temperatures. These weather conditions keep the antelope herds on high alert as limited visibility contributed the herds anxiety. Early in the morning, the first antelope were successfully harvested as the herd we found had not had any pressure. The second hunter, a Fort Carson service member, had a much more challenging hunt presented to him as the herd moved quickly across the plains at distances that proved difficult to acquire a good target. The second team for the morning pushed out almost two miles on foot from where the herd was first spotted. With permission from the surrounding farmers, we were able to get ahead of a few antelope that had separated themselves. With the high ground as an advantage, the second antelope was successfully taken after almost an hour and a half of tracking. The team then took turns carrying the game back about a mile through think snow and brush. The hunt proved to be challenging due to the conditions, however it was one of the most rewarding events presented by River Deep Alliance & SCI-HOP Denver. It was a perfect end of the big game season as we prepare for the spring events that include fishing, archery, photography, late season bird hunting, and also pottery events. 2019 has started off with more events than ever and will probed to be one of the busiest years in SCI-HOP history. A huge thank you to everyone involved that make events like these possible. We look forward to an absolutely amazing year.

We have a great turnout today, fifty people including staff and volunteers. Some have been here before and some are here for their first time. Most importantly, everyone is excited about learning or gaining new skills from the expert staff at RMS Gear. We start with the range rules and the fundamentals of shooting traditional bows. Some have brought their compound bows and will be instructed with the skills that are specific to them. Everyone moves up to the shooting line with their instructors, and arrows fly towards the targets. All the participants have big smiles on their faces as they are having a great time learning a fantastic sport. At lunch time, we are treated to a tasty meal provided by Ranch West 40 It's been a great day, and a big thanks to the expert staff at RMS Gear, the Ranch West 40 and all the volunteers who made this wonderful outing possible.

Our second art class was about Watercolor Technique & Color Theory. Our instructor, Janna Bussanich, taught the students how to use three primary colors to create 12 different colors to make their first paint palette. The class was held at the Cottonwood Center for the Arts. Eight veterans attended the class and afterwards, we all enjoyed pizza and refreshments. Our instructor had the students take home their completed watercolor paintings to enjoy. A big thanks to the staff at Cottonwood Center for the Arts, and for all the volunteers who made this wonderful art class possible.
