While it's bittersweet that our podcast is coming to an end with this episode, it's difficult to put into words how excited we are as an organization for what 2025 has in store.

A formal partnership with Centershot Ministries and Centershot Blue will officially kick off our initiative to help plant 1,000 archery outposts across the US. These locations will provide a safe environment for Active Military, Veterans, Law Enforcement and First Responders to gather around the sport of archery. Outposts can be at an archery range, pro shop, school, church, park, or anywhere else that a group of local volunteers can host the participants.

With a great curriculum in place and archery kits available for purchase through Genesis and Centershot, this program is transforming lives and communities one arrow at a time. HHAUSA's role will be to locate individuals wishing to start outposts and pointing them to Centershot leadership for the necessary training and onboarding process.

Five years ago, our vision was for HHAUSA to become a nationwide nonprofit. While it took a different path than we expected, it has become a reality through this allegiance with Centershot. God's ways are always higher than ours!

We will be hosting the four largest HHAUSA events in our history in 2025 with the schedule being released in December. If you haven't made the trip to Wisconsin yet, plan on adding that to your list of archery destinations in the New Year. We'd love to invite you into this community that has come together and continues to grow, providing a healthy outlet for our Service Members.

I want to thank everyone who has been a part of The HHAUSA Podcast over the past three and half years. From our guests to our listeners and our editor Logan Chartrand of Whiz Bang Media, collectively we have made a difference in so many lives. While the mic will be going silent, you have my word that these life changing and life saving conversations will still be happening in the weeks, months, and years ahead as we continue to selflessly serve those who serve and protect us.

May God bless you, God bless our Service Members, and God bless America!

Growing up on the family farm out West, Kasey Bruce learned what work ethic was all about at an early age. That mentality would stick with him through high school and decades later as he served our country in the United States Navy. Meeting Aaron Scheer proved to be a divine encounter and would lead him to his new position with Centershot Ministries and Centershot Blue.

Now a passionate archer, Bruce is using his servant heart to change lives through the sport of archery, literally around the world. Travelling from coast to coast here in the US and to Africa as well, he is seeing firsthand how transformational a bow and arrow can be. Whether it's in the younger generation as part of the JROTC program or seeing the smile on the face of a Veteran, First Responder, or Law Enforcement Officer through Centershot Blue, life change is happening with Scheer and Bruce leading the charge.

I met Kasey a couple years ago at the Archery Trade Association Show in Indianapolis and connected again a month later at a private Centershot event in Florida. Our friendship quickly grew into a brotherhood built around faith and I am excited about what the future holds for our respective ministries. All I do know is that the sky is the limit and with leaders like Kasey investing in the lives of others, the HHAUSA Centershot connection is a pairing that is sure to have impact for years to come.

Growing up with a father who was a firefighter, young Mike Fox had no idea that he would one day be serving the very men that he looked up to as a child. After a few stops and starts in his teens, the Missouri native received some direction from the elder Fox when he mentioned going into ministry. Having never thought about it up to that point, his destiny was confirmed at a lunch with his own pastor to discuss his future.

Sadly, Mike's father would tragically pass away before he had the chance to see his son on the pulpit at Mount Olive Lutheran Church in Weston Wisconsin. But it was in his dad's hospital room during his final days that Mike was given a very clear direction as to who he would be serving.

Archery became a passion for Mike as well and was the common thread that brought us together. A chance encounter with one of his coworkers at a showing of The Chosen in February of 2024 would lead me to my new friend and brother in Christ. Mike and I instantly hit it off and as is so often the case, it felt like we knew each other for decades.

He instantly became part of the HHAUSA community, rooming with former fire chief Bob Barteck and Mike Dragich and Rick Hall of Project Savior Outdoors at Mission 28 in April. Mike was able to see the impact of our program and will be a bigger part of it moving forward.

This was another great conversation of a man ordained by God to serve a community in need. You can find Mike on Facebook and Instagram or email him at pastormike@mtoliveweston.org
