BLACK DAGGER MILITARY HUNT CLUB INC
Helping Heroes Heal Outdoors
Mission
BDMHC is a all-volunteer nonprofit organization that provides shooting, hunting, fishing, and other outdoor activities for US military veterans. We serve veterans recovering from and learning to adjust to life with spinal cord injuries (SCI), traumatic brain injuries (TBI), and post-traumatic stress (PTS). Helping our honored veterans find their “new normal". We are a Community Partner with the James A. Haley VA Hospital's Adaptive Sports Program. We also work with the United States Special Operations Care Coalition. Along with these two groups, we work with several other veteran-support agencies to bring in veterans that they support in their programs.
Notes from the nonprofit
Our continued work with the Tampa James A. Haley VA Hospital's Adaptive Sports Program and the United States Special Operations Command's Care Coalition and the veterans they serve grow and expand each year. We are furthering the growth of our hunting, fishing, and shooting programs. We also continue to add to other ways we help veterans and their families. We have helped several veterans with needs of home repairs such as roofing and getting veterans to events with their families. We do this as an all-volunteer nonprofit with great support of a Nation that cares for the military men, women and their families.

Goals & Strategy

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Meet the needs of veterans and expand our lessons learned to other states/agencies so they can impact veterans in their areas. Continue to develop and or adopt innovative ways to enable continued access/ability to shoot, hunt, and fish for veterans. Secure like-minded sponsors to help us maintain/expand our shooting, hunting, and outdoor programs. Our goal is to empower veterans to continue pursue leisure outdoor activities despite their injuries. We strive to build long-term relationships with the veterans we serve and reduce the number of veterans suicides.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Align ourselves with the Department of Veterans Affairs and other agencies to work to empower veterans through Adaptive Sports Programs. Partner with other veteran support nonprofits to gain synergy in our support of Florida Veterans.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We have a large pool of highly skilled volunteers, weapons, and hunting experts from the military (active and retired) who volunteer their time/talents. Our active duty and retied military volunteers empower us with hundreds of years of experience in shooting sports and safety. We can accommodate veterans recovering from and learning to adjust to life with spinal cord injuries (SCI), traumatic brain injuries (TBI), loss of sight, and post-traumatic stress (PTS). We have specialized equipment for every level of injury.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We have been sole source for the Tampa's James A. Haley VA Hospital's Adaptive Shooting, Hunting, and Fishing programs for over 12 years. We have a mature hunting and shooting sports program serving hundreds of veterans each year. We can now include paralyzed and blind veterans in each of our programs. We now partner with several other local veteran nonprofits to support their programs when we can. We are starting to gain a large community support base to aid each of our programs. We also work with the United States Special Operations Command through the Care Coalition and work with veterans from across the United States. We have branched out of Florida and have hosted events in three other states.
