Mission - Darkhorse Archery was founded by Marine Corps veteran, Justin Rokohl in memory of his best friend Colton Rusk. On December 6, 2010 LCpl Colton W. Rusk USMC lost his life fighting for our country in Afghanistan. Colton was a dog handler for 3/5 Darkhorse which is where the name Darkhorse Archery comes from. Our mission is to honor his memory by giving back to other veterans who have also selflessly served our country.
"Archery is a great sport or hobby that anyone can enjoy, even those with adaptive needs. It's a fun outlet that builds confidence, friendships and camaraderie. Just this year we were able to set up close to 40 veterans with bows. Some have joined us at tournaments and others have been set up on hunts. Our goal is to continue to raise funds to set more veterans up with bows each year, grow their love for archery and hopefully get them on their first hunt." - Justin Rokohl.

The sea is a powerful and mysterious entity, with the ability to both heal and challenge us. For veterans and first responders living with post-traumatic stress, it can offer a unique form of therapy known as adventure therapy. Skeleton Crew Adventures, a nonprofit dedicated to providing veterans and first responders with opportunities to heal and grow through the sea, recently took the Terra Arma team on a sailing trip in Galveston, Texas to better understand the impact of adventure therapy on those living with PTSD.
