Vortex Experience
Join us July 25-27, 2025, for an all-inclusive training weekend at the Vortex Edge facility in Barneveld, Wisconsin. Thanks to the partnership of Vortex Optics, Federal Premium Ammunition, and Ruger Firearms, MidwayUSA Foundation is excited to offer this incredible three-day, two-night exclusive event for 15 people. For a $2,995 donation, each attendee will receive a Ruger RXM pistol and a Vortex optic. Pro-staff members from Vortex, Ruger, and Federal will conduct classroom and range sessions with attendees to review all products. Attendees will also enjoy a VIP tour of the Vortex facility and evening social activities including golfing, clay shooting, and bourbon tastings. Attendees can bring a “plus one” for an additional $400 donation.
Attendees must be at least 21 years old to attend the event.
