Is it Larry and his foundation that are donating the money or is it his customers that are paying it, he’s collecting it and passing it on. Does Midway match their customers donations?
I like Midway and I like Brownells. They both are good and reputable businesses that I have never had issues with and I’ve bought a lot from both!

Larry's in an Assisted Living facility these days... Midway has a new President or CEO... Larry is still the head guy, I'm sure just to maintain control with veto rights on business decisions...His time alive is limited.... Interesting about the assisted living as I spoke with him at the DSC show a couple of weeks ago and he appeared just fine. Larry's in an Assisted Living facility these days... Oh really? Do tell of your insight.  Uh - HOW DARE YOU. Seafire is one of the good guys. Beyond repute.  Yeah, if by "good" we mean talks out of his @ss and claims zero accountability, hellz yeah, GREAT phuggin' guy – EPIC even.

I think Seafire should be given a break as he might be part of the 'hadda stroke' club...
I always wonder if these Midwayusa threads are satire or ????

$1.20 isn't bad for shipping but they have a $10 for $100 or more, but why applied brings shipping to $15.87 that's crazey No doubt brought the total below the $100.00, which didn't qualify for the special shipping rate. Rocket science...not.

I had a nice conversation with him at DSC. He was full of life and seemed completely fine to me.

I never said anyone was forcing me to buy their overpriced crap, nor did I say he should spend his money elsewhere. Learn to read, you envious old mouth-breathing fart. You did say this. What more do you need? Given how much more they charge for many items on their website, they should have some extra money to give away.

I just got a Brownell order... $250+/- delivered
Same order at Midway would have been $340 delivered. This x 100!!! There is no doubt that Midway usually has good service and they have done some good by putting money into youth programs but they are also A LOT more expensive than most other retailers. Typically 10% more and usually more than that. Midway is 15% higher on these dies alone.... Redding 7mm SAUM dies at Precision Reloading, $182.24 https://www.precisionreloading.com/cart.php#!l=RE&i=36280 Redding 7mm SAUM dies at Midway, $209.99 https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1018049443?pid=665043
I sure could go for some $2.50/gal gas and a mean tweet!

Yeah, Larry Potterfield and Midway suck. He is a loser and hasn’t done anything but screw people and bank the profit…
The list is long and his involvement in the shooting industry is nothing short of magnificent. Just a couple examples;
The Potterfields are reported to have donated several million dollars to help provide YWCE programs to organizations such as Dallas Safari Club, Wild Sheep Foundation, Wild Turkey Federation, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Kansas City Safari Club, Houston Safari Club, Mule Deer Foundation, Pheasants Forever and Quality Deer Management.
The MidwayUSA Foundation, founded by Larry and Brenda Potterfield in 2007, is involved in helping communities and organizations raise money for education and youth shooting activities. As of September 30, 2022, the MidwayUSA Foundation is known to have $240 million in assets, have paid $54.6 million in grants, and assisted 2,770 teams with endowments. Don’t let facts get in the way of a good campfire bi!ch session about not being able to combine the free shipping on individual products + $10 off of orders over $100 + the 10pct birthday discount into a single order I swear y’all could complain about anything

I got a order from midway yesterday. Box was barely taped with one piece of tape. Had a 4 inch gap where it came apart. I called midway and they said they will open a case with UPS. I called BS and said to open a midway tape investigation. That’s the world today …… pass the buck.

I do not buy anything from Midway USA anymore. The web sight shows in stock, but when you order it is out of stock. Then you get charged twice for shipping. They ship what is in stock and then ship each other thing ordered when it comes in stock. I have not bought from them for a few years and do not plan on buying anything. He does all he can for Wayne also. Buy from Brownells and be happy.
