OPTION 3 - San Benito Ranchers Only

Offer is available only to ranchers in southern San Benito County from Paicines south. All others (including Hollister residents) should enter the monthly drawings. ​

​
RULES:
• Only one entry per address will be eligible per calendar year for centerfire. Your address will be determined by the address on your identification document.

• South San Benito County ranchers receive priority for .22 and .17 and may make multiple requests for these calibers per year pending availability.

• Offer only available for ages 21 and older.

• A copy of your current California Driver’s License or Identification Card is required.

• Ammunition will only be transferred to the individual approved for the transfer, and only with an in-person signature from that individual.​
​
• The offer may be withdrawn if we are unable to contact you within 30 days or unable to arrange a transfer within 90 days after being selected. 

    San Benito Ranchers Only

    Preferred Ammunition. Please enter a caliber preference and feel free to add any brand/grain preference you might have. Please note that this drawing is intended primarily for hunters using rifle ammunition, but a limited selection of handgun ammunition and shotgun shells might be available. Upon selection, we will offer available options for the caliber(s) you prefer. We cannot guarantee availability of desired ammunition.
    Are you also interested in receiving rimfire with your centerfire selection? If so, please indicate rimfire caliber(s) you would like. Enter “1” for top priority, “2” for second priority, etc. If you do not use or want a caliber, leave that caliber blank
    Because rimfire is in high demand and market availability is limited, not everyone will receive .22 or .17 with their entry/request. Rimfire availability will depend on product availability, and priority will be given to applicants shooting in particular locations. After you submit this form, you can take the optional step of entering a primary shooting location. 

    UPLOAD DOCUMENTS – A copy of your current California Driver’s License or California Identification Card is required to process your request. If your license says “Federal Limits Apply”, additional documentation in the form of either a current passport or birth certificate is required by DOJ to complete the state mandated eligibility check. If you do not wish to upload here, you may submit the required document(s) with your ammunition request via email attachment ([email protected]) or by regular post (Attention: Ammo, 9699 Blue Larkspur Lane Suite 105, Monterey, CA 93940).
    Max file size: 20MB
    Max file size: 20MB
    Upon receipt of your request, we will contact you to assist with your ammunition selection and arrange a transfer, pending approval of the state-mandated eligibility check. Because state law still requires face to face ammunition transfers, delivery will depend on our ability to coordinate mutually convenient dates, times, and locations. Recipients will be required to sign for the ammunition in person. We will offer possible dates and times for transfers during daylight hours. Recipients will be offered some flexibility in specifying locations, including home or office addresses, or other locations in their area. While we will make every effort to arrange a transfer that is convenient, we do not guarantee that a transfer will be available on a particular date and time. If we are unable to schedule a transfer, or do not receive a response when we contact recipients, after multiple attempts, we will release the ammunition to another hunter in the drawing.
