Sharing the Word with young men in God’s creation.
Field Guides
Godly men who lead outings and mentor boys in the field.

For Families
Get a boy involved.
You don’t need any outdoor experience — just a boy ready for adventure and a willingness to show up. Many boys come for the camping and fellowship as much as the hunting and fishing. Reach out to your local chapter and we’ll help you take the first step.
Questions & Answers
Good questions, honest answers.
What makes Real Men Outfitters unique?
Every outing is individually designed with a goal in mind. We use activities like hunting, fishing, and camping to disciple young men and teach a specific biblical lesson — the adventure is the doorway, discipleship is the purpose.
Who are the RMO guides?
Experienced outdoorsmen who actively seek a relationship with Jesus Christ. They serve as mentors, sharing both their faith and their love of the outdoors with every young man on an outing.
Is this program affiliated with a church?
Not formally, though several churches in the Tyler area support RMO — including Rock Hill, Noonday Baptist, Green Acres Baptist Church, and First Baptist Church.
Do I have to be a Christian to be a member?
No. We encourage you to come as you are.
Do you help any kids, or only ones who like to hunt and fish?
We welcome all active youth. Many boys come for the camping and fellowship rather than the hunting specifically — there’s a place for everyone.
How safe are the outings?
An RMO guide is with your child every step of the way. We hold safety orientations, all guides carry hunter-safety certification, and First Aid / CPR-certified staff attend every outing.
What if I have no previous outdoors experience?
Our guides provide full support and gladly answer questions. Participants need only bring a positive attitude and a willingness to engage.
How do I get involved?
Attend a weekly meeting listed on our Events page, then complete the registration paperwork for outings. Reach out to your local chapter to get started.
Do you need volunteers?
Yes. We need field guides, cooks, photographers, administrative help, and landowners willing to share property. Applicants submit basic information and complete a background check.
