Narrows Strut Busters - Wheelin' Sportsmen

Wheelin' Sportsmen NWTF is dedicated to providing people with disabilities, including disabled hunters, disabled anglers and other outdoor enthusiasts, the opportunity to participate in outdoor activities. Its magazine, Wheelin' Sportsmen, and its Web site, www.wheelinsportsmen.org, are dedicated to the education and entertainment of these enthusiasts and their able-bodied outdoor partners. With the same dedication it has brought to restoring wild turkey populations across North America, the NWTF is delivering, and in some cases re-introducing, the beauty and excitement of the outdoors to thousands of disabled people through its outreach program, Wheelin' Sportsmen.

The program was created by a merger between the Alabama-based Wheelin' Sportsmen of America and the NWTF. Wheelin' Sportsmen is the realization of both organizations' commitment to creating a national effort to provide the disabled with opportunities to get out and enjoy outdoor activities, such as hunting, fishing, bird watching and much more.  Today, disabled women, kids and men of all ages are once again enjoying the outdoors.

The “Narrows Strut Busters” collect donations at their annual Hunter’s Heritage Banquet in order to provide as many free memberships to interested individuals in our area as we can.  For more information on contributing to Wheelin' Sportsmen or for information on Wheelin' Sportsmen programs, please also call Wheelin' Sportsmen National Coordinator/Founder Kirk Thomas at (803) 637-3106 or e-mail him at kthomas@nwtf.net or call (800) THE-NWTF.
