Rules

Road to 50K Sweepstakes – Official Rules

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED.

1. Sponsor

The Road to 50K Sweepstakes (the "Sweepstakes") is sponsored by Blackstone Shooting Sports, 2001 Wilkinson Blvd, Charlotte, North Carolina 28208 ("Sponsor"). Taran Tactical Innovations ("TTI") and Trijicon, Inc. are not sponsors of the Sweepstakes.

2. Eligibility

The Sweepstakes is open only to legal residents of the 48 contiguous United States who are at least twenty-one (21) years old at the time of entry and who are legally permitted under all applicable federal, state, and local laws to purchase, receive, and possess a handgun.

Residents of the following states and jurisdictions are NOT eligible: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Washington, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and all U.S. territories and possessions. (Alaska and Hawaii are outside the 48 contiguous United States and are therefore also not eligible.)

Employees, officers, and directors of Sponsor, TTI, Trijicon, Inc., Elevate Creative, and their respective parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, advertising and promotion agencies, and suppliers, and the immediate family members (spouse, parents, siblings, children) and household members of each, are not eligible. The Sweepstakes is subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations.

3. Agreement to Official Rules

By entering, you agree to be fully and unconditionally bound by these Official Rules and the decisions of Sponsor, which are final and binding in all matters relating to the Sweepstakes, and you represent and warrant that you meet all eligibility requirements.

4. Sweepstakes Period and Subscriber Milestone

The Sweepstakes begins at 12:00 AM Eastern Time ("ET") on October 7, 2026. The end of the Sweepstakes Period depends on whether Sponsor's YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@Blackstoneshooting) reaches 50,000 subscribers (the "Milestone") by 11:59 PM ET on November 17, 2026:

• If the Milestone is reached on or before 11:59 PM ET on November 17, 2026: the Sweepstakes Period ends at 11:59 PM ET on November 17, 2026, and the winner will receive the Grand Prize and the Bonus Trip described in Section 6.
• If the Milestone is not reached by 11:59 PM ET on November 17, 2026: the Sweepstakes Period continues and ends at 11:59 PM ET on December 31, 2026, and the winner will receive the Grand Prize only (no Bonus Trip).

Whether and when the Milestone is reached will be determined solely by Sponsor based on the subscriber count shown in YouTube Studio, and Sponsor's determination is final. All entries must be received by the applicable end date and time. Sponsor's computer is the official timekeeping device for the Sweepstakes.

5. How to Enter

Visit https://blackstoneshooting.com/sandvipergiveaway and complete the entry form with all required information, and confirm that you meet the eligibility requirements.

In the event of a dispute over the identity of an entrant, the entry will be deemed submitted by the authorized account holder of the email address submitted. Entries will not be acknowledged or returned. Entries, and any content an entrant submits or posts in connection with the Sweepstakes, must comply with the YouTube Community Guidelines (https://www.youtube.com/t/community_guidelines); entries that do not comply will be disqualified.

Bonus Trip conditions

The Bonus Trip is for the winner and one (1) guest. The guest must be at least twenty-one (21) years old, must travel on the same itinerary as the winner, and must sign a Liability and Publicity Release before travel; if the guest does not travel, the guest's portion of the Bonus Trip is forfeited with no substitution or compensation. Airline, flights, and hotel are selected by Sponsor. Meals, ground transportation (including travel between the airport, the hotel, and Sponsor's location), incidentals, gratuities, baggage fees, seat upgrades, travel insurance, and all expenses not expressly listed above are the winner's sole responsibility. Travel dates are fixed and may not be changed. The winner and guest must each have valid government-issued photo identification for air travel. If the winner cannot travel on the dates specified, the Bonus Trip will be forfeited with no substitution or compensation, but the winner will still receive the Grand Prize. If the winner resides within 100 miles of Charlotte, NC, airfare will not be provided and no substitute will be awarded. Sponsor is not responsible for flight cancellations, delays, or other travel disruptions. Attendance at the TTI Range Day requires signing Sponsor's standard range waiver and following all range safety rules; Sponsor may remove any person for unsafe or disruptive conduct without compensation. Taran Butler's appearance is subject to his availability; if he is unable to attend, Sponsor or its designee will present the Grand Prize and no compensation will be awarded.

General prize terms

The ARVs stated are Sponsor's good-faith estimates as of the date of these revised Official Rules; any difference between the stated ARV and the actual value will not be awarded. Prizes are nontransferable. No cash or other substitution is permitted, except that Sponsor may substitute a prize or prize component of equal or greater value if an advertised prize becomes unavailable. The pistol and optic are provided new and are covered only by their manufacturers' warranties; Sponsor makes no other warranty, express or implied. Ammunition is not included.

Taxes on prizes are the winner's responsibility. Sponsor will issue an IRS Form 1099 for the value of the prizes, and the winner must provide a completed IRS Form W-9 before any prize is awarded.

7. Firearm Transfer

The pistol will be transferred only through a federally licensed firearms dealer ("FFL") located in the winner's state of residence, selected by the winner and acceptable to Sponsor. The winner must complete ATF Form 4473, pass a National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) check, and satisfy any state or local background check, waiting period, permit, license, registration, safety-training, or eligibility-card requirement that applies to the acquisition of the pistol in the winner's jurisdiction.

The presentation of the pistol at the TTI Range Day is ceremonial. The pistol will not be handed over to the winner at the event unless the winner is a North Carolina resident who completes the transfer at Sponsor's licensed premises; otherwise, the pistol will be shipped to the winner's FFL after the event. Sponsor will pay shipping to the winner's FFL and the FFL's standard transfer fee. The winner is responsible for any state or local fees, permits, or licenses.

The winner is solely responsible for confirming that they may lawfully receive and possess the pistol in their state and locality. Sponsor may modify the pistol's configuration (including providing magazines of reduced capacity) as needed to comply with the laws of the winner's jurisdiction, and the pistol will not be transferred in any configuration, or with any magazine, that is prohibited in the winner's jurisdiction as of the date of transfer. If the pistol cannot lawfully be transferred to the winner in any configuration (including because of a change in law between the drawing and the transfer), the winner fails or is denied a background check, or the winner does not complete the transfer within sixty (60) days after Sponsor ships the pistol to the winner's FFL, the pistol will be forfeited, no cash or other substitute will be awarded, and Sponsor may award the pistol to an alternate winner. Sponsor may decline to transfer the pistol to any person it reasonably believes is prohibited from receiving or possessing a firearm.

8. Winner Selection

One (1) winner will be selected in a random drawing from all eligible entries received, conducted by Sponsor or its designee:

• If the Milestone is reached: on November 18, 2026.
• If the Milestone is not reached: on January 5, 2027.

One (1) Grand Prize (and, if the Milestone is reached, one (1) Bonus Trip) will be awarded. The odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received.

9. Winner Notification and Verification

If the Milestone is reached: the potential winner will be notified by email or phone on November 18, 2026, and must respond within twenty-four (24) hours of Sponsor's first notification attempt. The potential winner must return a signed Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability and Publicity Release, IRS Form W-9, a copy of valid government-issued photo ID, and a Liability and Publicity Release signed by the winner's guest by 5:00 PM ET on November 19, 2026. If an alternate winner must be selected, the alternate will receive the Grand Prize and will also receive the Bonus Trip if the alternate is verified in time for Sponsor to complete travel arrangements for the November 20–22, 2026 travel dates; if not, the Bonus Trip will not be awarded to anyone.

If the Milestone is not reached: the potential winner will be notified by email and, if provided, phone within 24 hours after the drawing, must respond within 24 hours of Sponsor's first notification attempt, and must return the documents listed above within seven (7) days of receiving them.

If a potential winner cannot be contacted, does not respond or return the required documents on time, is found ineligible, or does not comply with these Official Rules, the prize will be forfeited and Sponsor may select an alternate winner, up to a maximum of three (3) alternates. Sponsor is not responsible for a winner's failure to receive notices due to spam, junk email, or other security settings, or for incorrect or non-functioning contact information. Receipt of any prize is conditioned on compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and these Official Rules. ANY VIOLATION OF THESE OFFICIAL RULES BY A WINNER (AT SPONSOR'S SOLE DISCRETION) WILL RESULT IN DISQUALIFICATION AND FORFEITURE OF ALL PRIZES.
