Support Rip Pratt's Archery Mission for those less fortunate

My name is Bret Scott, owner of Willow Creek Archery in Temecula, California. One of my long-time customers, Rip Pratt, who is in his 70s now, lost his house in Escondido to arson recently. Rip is a pastor and has helped abused and disadvantaged kids and families his whole life using archery.

The fire destroyed over a hundred bows along with hundreds of arrows and other miscellaneous archery equipment, not to mention the whole contents of his house! Rip is such a humble human being; he would never ask for anything. I gave him four bows from my shop the other day to help replenish his tools for his life's work, but it isn't even close to what he needs to do the work that he does.

I'm hoping we can help Rip regroup and be able to keep helping the kids with the sport of archery. I want Rip to be able to purchase all the equipment he once had, which was extensive. He will never be able to replace the custom bows, but he is more concerned about equipment for the kids he helps, not himself. I can supply him with this equipment at cost and plan on contacting some of my vendors for help as well.
