TigerSwan instructor and M4c SME Kyle Defoor recently attended a Fly Fishing camp sponsored Higher Ground, a division of Sun Valley Adaptive Sports set up for the long-term healing, restoration, and rehabilitation of wounded veterans with TBI/PTSD. Just like Kyle, we think it’s a worthy charity and we know that there are several companies in industry providing support including one of our favorites, Smith Optics.
