The Low Country Chapter would like to purchase 2 "Go-Getters."


Chapter Member, Vijay Viswanathan, bird hunting on a Go-Getter.

Having this innovative adaptive equipment on hand would allow us take our disabled hunters to deer stands not accessible to wheelchairs. 

They would also allow us to host upland bird hunts for disabled hunters at shooting preserves in various areas of South Carolina.

If you would like to make a donation to assist the Chapter in acquiring the "Go-Getters" please clink the link below and print a copy of the Donation Invoice form.  The form includes all the information needed to make a donation and mail it to the Chapter.

Thank you for your support!

TESTIMONIALS

“I am a T-4 paraplegic. I have been in a wheelchair 34 years.  The first time I got on the go-getter was the best bird hunting I had done since I was able to walk.  The seat was so comfortable, and being in front of the ATV allowed me to see everything in the brush in front of me. It gave me a feeling that I was walking through the brush while holding my shotgun ready with the safety on. The best part for me was seeing the dog work the birds without any obstructions.  The go-getter seat had the support that I needed to allow me to shoot the bird when flushed.  The go-getter in my opinion is a great tool that can be used by handicap people for all types of activities.”
Jack Herrin - Arvada, CO

“The go-getter provides the mobility-disabled participant comfortable and safe transportation with an unobstructed view. ATVs with the attachment are especially effective for upland bird hunting.  We really appreciate all you have done for Outdoor Buddies and other mobility-disabled persons.”
Swaine Robey, President Outdoor Buddies, Inc.

“My father had a leg amputation five years ago. He has always been an avid sportsman, and a very active individual. This operation took more from him than his leg, he had lost the ability to hunt and interact in the sport he loved so much. The idea of transforming a handicapped hunter into an active sportsman is epic. Let me tell you the go-getter facilitates this. The design supports the ride with air ride seating, unique vertical suspension, and the ability to provide the hunter with a wide swing range for shooting. Take it from me, the go-getter is a winner, in more ways than one!”
Don Mactinosh, Jr. - Denver, CO
