From Boots to Blinds

From Boots to Blinds is an Indiana nonprofit that helps U.S. veterans, active-duty service members, and wounded warriors enjoy donated hunting and fishing trips at little to no cost. The organization works with ranches and outfitters to match each participant with a hunt suited to their interests and physical abilities, aiming to make outdoor experiences accessible rather than expecting veterans to adapt to a standard trip.

Veterans can apply by sharing their service background, preferred hunt, and mobility needs. The team coordinates suitable locations, outfitters, and adaptive support, which may include mobility chairs, accessible blinds, shooting rests, adaptive mounts, and assistance with equipment. Trips are filmed, with coverage helping attract sponsors and support future donated hunts. Content is shown on LookWild TV, with clips also shared on YouTube and social media.

Donations help fund adaptive gear, costs not covered by donated hunts, and filming. Businesses can support the mission through sponsorships, while outfitters and ranches can offer land or trips.
