Here is a great opportunity for your local 4-H Shooting Sports group to have some fun promoting our sport or as a fundraiser for your group. Check it out! (Jim)

For some time ISE Games has been working with the 4-H Shooting Sports Committee on a games program for 4-H. We introduced this new program at the recent 4-H Workshop in Kansas to get a feel for how it would be accepted and the response was excellent. Since the ISE Games are actually mini-simulators, these games are more than just fun to play.

The ISE Shooting Sports games are truly as close to the real thing as you can get electronically. While there is no substitute for learning the shooting sports from a certified training instructor, the PC games from ISE can be a teaching aid which you may find worthy of consideration.

This technology has been used to create PC games which closely depict both internal and external ballistics as well as “real as life” shooting sports action. Inside of each game you will find actual components of the shooting sports like the interchangeability of various parts of the rifle to achieve greater accuracy; ammo reloading; adjusting sights for both short and long range shooting; the effects on shooting from the elements (wind, weather, etc) and all of the techniques which can be used to achieve higher accuracy and better scores.

Many instructors who teach the shooting sports tell us that they have used parts of our games in their training programs. The games allow instructors to demonstrate some shooting sports actions in the classroom which normally could only be demonstrated at the range. There is practice sessions available in the games and these can be used by the students to further develop their feel for the instructions received in the class room. Finally there are several 100 yard ranges and a very unique 1000 yard range available in these games which can be used for practice purposes when a trip to the range is impossible. In short, there is a tremendous amount of shooting sports technology imbedded in the ISE games which can be used to supplement the great work that 4-H instructors do in the classroom.

Through the work of the 4-H Shooting Sports Committee, ISE is offering a copy of 3 of our games to all 4-H instructors at a very special price. These games each sell for $19.99 in the retail stores but your cost is $3.76 each, plus postage and handling. This offer is limited to only one copy of each game, per instructor. The games which are currently available include:

X-treme Accuracy Shooting….NRA Varmint Hunter…..High Power Competition

Do to contractual agreements we are unable to offer our newest title, Daisy® Air Gun Fun, at a discounted price until January 2007.

You can take advantage of this special offer through our web-site at www.ISEgames.com. Click on the 4-H logo on our home page and then clicking on the “4-H Instructors” link on the subsequent page. You can also receive the same price by calling our customer service department at 817 410 7226, extension 21 and ask for the “4-H Trainers” special offer.

Please find a copy of the 4-H Shooting Sports brochure attached. We would appreciate your help in passing along the special offer to all of your 4-H members who can purchase these same games at the special price of $5.00 each (+shipping and handling).
