Leupold Introduces CM-R2 Reticle for Maximum Flexibility

with Close and Mid-Range Targets

Leupold Close Quarters/Tactical (CQ/T) Riflescopes with CM-R2 Reticle

Leupold Tactical Optics

BEAVERTON, Ore. –-(Ammoland.com)- Leupold’s Tactical Optics

Division introduces the CM-R2 reticle, which allows tactical and

competitive shooters to quickly and accurately estimate range and

engage targets.

By combining the ranging ability of Leupold’s Special Purpose Reticle

(SPR) with the quick acquisition of the Leupold Circle Dot reticle, the

CM-R2 provides the flexibility necessary on the modern battlefield or 3-

gun course. The CM-R2 preserves the instinctive fire capabilities of the

Circle Dot for the short-range, low magnification needs of the 3-gun

competitor or CQB warfighter.

The CM-R2 is designed to allow the shooter to focus more attention on

the target and less attention on the reticle. A boldly illuminated 0.5 MOA

dot surrounded by a 5.0 MOA semi-circle enhance the shooter’s focus

and combine precision with speed when the target is up close and

personal. Hash marks on the horizontal stadia are calibrated for leading

moving targets at 5, 10 and 15 mph, respectively. Vertical tic marks allow

users to estimate ranges based on 18” wide targets at increasing ranges,

while also providing precise holdover points for targets between 300 and

900 meters.

“The CM-R2 reticle makes our battlefield-proven Mark 4

MR/T and CQ/T line of riflescopes even more versatile,” said

Kevin Trepa, Leupold’s vice president of tactical sales and

marketing. “American warfighters and civilian shooting

enthusiasts alike will enjoy the fast-ranging capabilities of

this reticle.”

For optimum results, riflescopes with the CM-R2 reticle should be

zeroed at 200 yards using M855 5.56mm NATO/.223 Remington

ammunition producing a muzzle velocity of 2,810 fps with 62 grain FMJ

bullets.

The CM-R2 is available in Leupold Mid Range/Tactical (MR/T) and

Close Quarters/Tactical (CQ/T) riflescopes. Leupold has offered

precision optics for tactical applications since the 1983 introduction of

Ultra riflescopes, which were designed to excel under the most extreme

battlefield conditions. Today, more long-range Leupold Tactical Optics

are in service with the U.S. military than any other brand. For more

information on Leupold Tactical Optics, go to www.leupold.com or call 1-

800-LEUPOLD.

Leupold & Stevens, Inc., the preeminent American-owned and -operated

optics company, employs more than 600 people in its state-of-the-art

facility near Beaverton, Ore., where rugged, dependable, high-

performance Mark 4 and Golden Ring optics are designed, machined and

Steyr Donates CommemorativeScout Rifle To The GunsiteAlumni Shoot To Benefit JeffCooper Legacy FoundationSEP 09, 2010 07:31P.M.

Steyr Donates Commemorative Scout Rifle To The Gunsite

Alumni Shoot To Benefit Jeff Cooper Legacy Foundation

Steyr Arms Jeff Cooper Scout Hunting Rifle

Steyr Arms

TRUSSVILLE, Alabama --(Ammoland.com)- Steyr Arms has

announced that it will donate a limited edition Jeff Cooper Scout Rifle

Commemorative Package to the annual Gunsite Alumni Shoot (GAS

Match), which will be held Oct. 2 at the Gunsite Academy in Paulden,

AZ.

The rifle will be used by competitors in the Scout Rifle Side Match and

will be awarded to the shooter with the highest score in the Scout match.

All proceeds from the Scout Rifle Side Match will be donated to the Jeff

Cooper Legacy Foundation.

The GAS Match was created in 1984 by legendary small-arms expert,

author and founder of what would later become the Gunsite Academy,

Marine Corps Lt. Col. John Dean “Jeff” Cooper (1920-2006). “A social

event only slightly interrupted by gunfire,” the GAS Match was designed

by Cooper to be a practical and realistic competitive course of fire. The

only prerequisite to compete in the GAS Match is to have attended one of

Gunsite’s courses lasting three or more days. The match is limited to the

first 125 Gunsite alumni who apply.

Cooper worked with Steyr Arms through much of the 1990s to create his

signature rifle, the Steyr Scout. With a Steyr SBS action, a lightweight

cold-hammer-forged barrel chambered in .308 Win., an integral bipod,

back-up iron sights, an extra magazine held beneath the butt of the

polymer stock, and paired to a forward-mounted long-eye-relief scope,

Cooper’s Scout was heralded as the ideal general-purpose rifle

chambered in the ideal general-purpose caliber.

“This year at the GAS Match, the Steyr Scout comes ‘home’ to

Gunsite,” said Jane Anne Shimizu, Gunsite Academy director

of marketing. “Much of the Scout’s design criteria was

hammered out right here at Gunsite, and it was through his

relationship with Steyr that his ultimate rifle was created.

Steyr Arms’ gracious donation of a complete Scout rifle with

all the accessories and adorned with the Colonel’s

logo—exactly as the very early rifles came—is a wonderful

addition to this match.”

The Jeff Cooper Scout Rifle Commemorative Package, which recently

became available to customers, is chambered in .308 Win., and it sets in

the original “Scout Gray” stock highlighted by the “JC” crest-of arms. A

2.5X 28mm Leupold Scout scope is attached to the integral top rail via

Steyr mounts. An attached Galco Ching Sling is also inscribed with the

“JC” crest, as is the Boyt TAC541 soft case and the Boyt H44 hard case.

The latter also boasts the Steyr Arms logo. To finish off the package, a

hardbound copy of Cooper’s Art Of The Rifle is also included. The

package has an MSRP of $2,975.

“I think its exceptionally fitting that we’re donating the rifle

that Col. Cooper designed, in the very package that he

prescribed, to his signature shooting match in the year that

we’ve reintroduced it to the public,” said Scott O’Brien, CEO

of Steyr Arms. “We’re honored that it will ultimately benefit

law enforcement and help to preserve Cooper’s work through

the Jeff Cooper Legacy Foundation.”

The Jeff Cooper Legacy Foundation is a non-profit organization that was

created as a benefit to members of law enforcement. Its mission is to

Nebraska Grouse HuntingSeason Begins Sept. 18SEP 09, 2010 07:01P.M.

Nebraska Grouse Hunting Season Begins Sept. 18

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission

LINCOLN, Neb. --(Ammoland.com)- Good news for Nebraska grouse

hunters this fall. The hunting season for this upland game species will be

a month longer than in past years.

Grouse hunting season opens in Nebraska on Sept. 18 and runs through

Jan. 31, 2011. This aligns the season with the close of pheasant and quail

seasons and allows more opportunities for late-season mixed bag

hunting of all three species.

Grouse may be hunted statewide, but a free special permit is required for

hunting east of U.S. Highway 81 (east zone).

Approximately 90 special permits remain for hunting in the east zone.

They are limited to one per hunter and available on a first-come, first-

served basis. To request a special permit, call Game and Parks at (402)

471-5597, visit the Lincoln headquarters, or send a postcard to: Nebraska

Game and Parks Commission, Attn: Grouse Permits, P.O. Box 30370,

Lincoln, NE 68503.

The postcard must include the following: name, address, date of birth,

telephone number, and 2010 hunting permit number or lifetime hunting

permit number. Residents ages 12 to 15 must submit a hunter education

number. Those not required to purchase a hunting permit must provide

documentation of such exemption.

The daily bag and possession limits in the east zone are three birds. The

daily bag and possession limits west of U.S. 81 (west zone) are three and

12, respectively.

A Nebraska hunting permit and habitat stamp are required of all grouse

hunters in the state, except residents younger than 16 years.

Nebraska hunting permits and stamps may be purchased at Game and

Parks offices and OutdoorNebraska.org.

LINCOLN, Neb. --(Ammoland.com)- Fall turkey season opens Sept. 15

across Nebraska, and hunters of all ages have the opportunity to pursue

the abundant gobblers.

Getting new hunters into the field could be even easier this year,

however, as reduced-price permits are available for youth.

Fall turkey permits are $24 for residents, $91 for nonresidents and $6

for youth younger than 16 years (residents and nonresidents), including

issuing fee. The reduced-price youth permits were a big success during

the spring turkey season, when youth permit sales more than doubled

from the previous spring.

Adult and youth hunters may shoot turkeys through Dec. 31 with either

archery equipment or shotgun. A fall turkey or youth fall turkey permit

allows the take of two turkeys with either archery equipment or shotgun.

Permits are unlimited in number, but no hunter may have more than two

fall turkey permits.

The bag limit is two turkeys per permit.

Turkey hunters are required to wear at least 400 square inches of hunter

orange on their head, chest and back when hunting during the November

firearm deer season, which is Nov. 13-21.

The Threat of Animal RightsLawyersSEP 09, 2010 05:28P.M.

The Threat of Animal Rights Lawyers

By Greg R. Lawson, USSA Director of Communications

U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance

Columbus, OH --(Ammoland.com)- The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance was

first formed back at the end of the 1970s to fight the anti-hunting, animal

rights movement.

In fact, we are really the only group in the country whose sole mission is

to confront them and beat them. This is why we think it is so important

to keep America’s sportsmen aware of what the animal rights movement

really represents and the kind of world they would establish if they ever

had the power to do it.

With that in mind, I was struck by this article I came across while

rummaging around through some of my favorite websites the other

night. I was struck by how scary the picture it portrays is of what the

animal rights movement is really attempting to do.

Quoting from the article,

“Some animal protection activists are pushing for laws that would extend

rights and protections to animals that have been, up to now, reserved for

humans.”

” Animals are closer to us than an inanimate object that we use as a tool

for everyday living,” says Adam P. Karp, an attorney in Bellingham,

Wash., who devotes his practice to cases involving animals. ” The law

should recognize animals as legal persons with the same access to

justice.”

Here’s another section,

“Animal protection lawyers, however, take issue with the fact that the

law still classifies animals solely as property-regardless of their

relationship with humans-and only allows owners to recover a loss based

on market value.”

First off, it should be pointed out that this article is featured on the

website of the American Bar Association’s Journal. Yes, the American

Bar Association (ABA) as in the group that by its own admission is,

“the largest voluntary professional association in the world. With more

than 400,000 members, the ABA provides law school accreditation,

continuing legal education, information about the law, programs to

assist lawyers and judges in their work, and initiatives to improve the

legal system for the public.”

This means that these ideas, while maybe not yet commonplace, are

becoming increasingly accepted by professionals across the country.

As you hopefully recall, the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance was leading the

charge of fighting the appointment of Cass Sunstein to the position of

President Obama’s “Regulatory Czar” last year and we came very close

to blocking it. We did that because, among other things, Sunstein had

written approvingly of the possibility of giving animals legal rights.

Clearly, he is by no means alone in entertaining the idea.

That means that the seemingly absurd idea that animals

should be treated legally the same as humans is no longer a

joking matter. It’s being pushed hard enough that it is

getting a serious look by serious people.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize where all of this could very

easily head if we turn a blind eye.

If an animal has legal rights comparable to those of a human, how can

they ever be hunted? How can an angler ever catch a fish? Wouldn’t

both be pretty obvious violations of their “legal rights?”

Think it can’t happen? Well, it probably won’t… for awhile, but the fact

that the ABA is giving the issue play means that in the future, you never

really know.

That’s why the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance needs your help. We need to be

able to make sure we have the resources necessary to shine a bright

spotlight on these ideas so that America doesn’t wake up one day and

realize their pet could sue them tomorrow.

USSAF and Others ContinueDefending Pro-SportsmanCourt DecisionSEP 09, 2010 04:48P.M.

USSAF and Others Continue Defending Pro-Sportsman Court

Decision

Oral Arguments Heard in Maine Trapping Case Appeal.

U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance

Columbus, OH --(Ammoland.com)- The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance

Foundation (USSAF) completed oral arguments during a legal hearing in

the U.S. Court of Appeals on behalf of Maine trappers.

The long-standing case prompting the hearing will have a far reaching

impact by establishing whether anti-hunting groups seeking to

manipulate the Endangered Species Act (ESA) will be able to block

hunting and trapping seasons across the nation.

“This is the latest in a long line of steps taken by the USSAF

and our partners to protect not only trappers in Maine, but

sportsmen nationwide,” said Rob Sexton, USSAF vice

president for government affairs while referring to the oral

arguments made on September 8.

“If the anti-hunters win, they will use this example in court

room after court room across the nation to deny trapping and

hunting everywhere.”

In November of 2009, Judge John A. Woodcock, Jr. of Maine’s Federal

District Court denied the injunction sought by Animal Welfare Institute

and the Wildlife Alliance of Maine to stop the state’s trapping season.

The groups had originally filed suit against the Maine Department of

Inland Fisheries and Wildlife in 2008, arguing that that Maine’s

trapping regulations provided insufficient protection for the Canada

lynx, a species listed as threatened under the ESA, and thus required the

season to be stopped.

The USSAF, along with the Maine Trappers’ Association, Fur Takers of

America, National Trappers’ Association, and several individual

sportsmen, argued that the antis must show that Maine’s trapping

practices were a threat to the Canada lynx population.

The opinion of Judge Woodcock closely followed the arguments made by

the USSAF and others by requiring that plaintiffs looking for an

injunction to shut down a trapping (or hunting or fishing) season prove

not only the incidental take of ESA-protected species, but also

“irreparable harm” to the lynx population. Judge Woodcock concluded

that the take of individual members of a reasonably numerous protected

species does not necessarily meet the requirement of irreparable harm.

He also indicated that the take of lynx occurring in Maine foothold traps,

typically catch-and-release incidents, did not constitute irreparable harm

in this case. Consequently, Judge Woodcock declined the injunction and

the trapping season was able to take place.

This decision would make it difficult for antis to shut down hunting and

trapping in other states based upon the incidental take of a single animal

that falls under ESA protection. The precedent is so important that the

antis filed an appeal in December, 2009 seeking to reverse the decision.

This prompted the USSAF and others to file a new set of legal briefs in

order to defend the hard fought victory.

According to Sexton, “We continue to feel confident in our

case and will keep pressing ahead to be sure the ESA is not

hijacked by those that want to shut down practically all

sportsmen activities.”

Action Target Joins LawsuitOver Chicago Gun RangeProhibitionSEP 09, 2010 02:44P.M.

Action Target Announces Their Involvement In The Lawsuit

Over Chicago Gun Range Prohibition

Action Target

Provo, Utah --(Ammoland.com)- ACTION TARGET, on August 16,

2010, joined the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) in filing a

lawsuit in federal court against the City of Chicago’s new gun ordinance.

The lawsuit asserts that the city is depriving its residents of their right to

keep and bear arms by banning public gun ranges while at the same time

requiring range training for handgun owners.

Randy Graham, Vice President of ACTION TARGET, said,

“We believe that citizens have a constitutional right to use

and train with firearms in a safe and controlled environment.

As a leader in the firearms training industry, Action Target is

committed to standing up for these rights.”

Why has Action target joined the Lawsuit?

ACTION TARGET has a long history of supporting Law Enforcement in

obtaining the critical training necessary to safely use their firearms in the

defense of the public and themselves.

Our participation in challenging the City of Chicago

prohibition on gun ranges is driven by the following positions:

• As leaders in the firearms training industry, ACTION TARGET has

an obligation to stand up for the constitutional rights of citizens to

keep and bear arms.

• ACTION TARGET supports the civilian ownership of firearms and

promotes the safe use of those firearms through proper training in

a secure and controlled environment such as a gun range.

• It is Action Target’s experience that a majority of law enforcement

officers support the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding

citizens. We stand with these officers.

For more information, please contact Randy Graham via Email

(randyg@actiontarget.com) or by telephone at (801) 377-8033 x.103.

LINCOLN, CA --(Ammoland.com)- Diizche Safari Adventures is proud

to announce they just released a new book on September 7, 2010 that

will be of interest to big-game hunters.

Coastal Black Bear Hunting: Prince of Wales Island, Alaska is

intended for those planning a big- game hunting trip, particularly those

planning a self- guided black bear hunting trip to Alaska.

This book guides the readers through planning, preparing for, and

carrying out a self-guided black bear hunt on Prince of Wales Island,

Alaska. Much of the information, of course, would be relevant to other

big-game hunts as well. The wealth of information provided in the body

of the book is nicely supplemented by easy-to-use appendices and a

bibliography. You will learn all aspects of executing your hunt from pre-

planning until you return home.

The book, written by Shawn Christopher Joyce, has been well received by

some familiar names in the business, including Massad Ayoob, Craig

Boddington, and Mark Sullivan.

This is some of what they have to say:

“A tour de force that not only makes you wish you were there

with him, but makes you feel as if you are. His book isn’t just

about how to ruin a bruin…it’s the consumer’s guide to a hunt

of a lifetime that you’ll always be proud of having arranged

and carried out yourself.” Massad Ayoob Internationally

Renowned Author, Firearms and Self-Defense Expert

“Bear hunting has been one of my favorite North American

hunts for more than 40 years now. Shawn Joyce’s book is

accurate and thorough, packed with great tips that will help

any bear hunter–or any do- it-yourself hunter–anywhere. As

for Prince of Wales Island, well, that’s one of the places I

haven’t yet had a chance to hunt. After reading his book, I am

now fully prepared!” Craig Boddington Executive Field Editor

InterMedia Outdoors

“Hunting the great bears of Alaska is something I have

personally had the privilege to enjoy… Shawn Joyce`s book,

Coastal Black Bear Hunting, is a must read… It was written

by a hunter—for a hunter. Shawn`s book is clear and concise.

This book takes you through the entire process, step by step,

and in a way that captures the hunter spirit in each of us and

makes us want to be the Big Bwana. Whether you are an

experienced hunter or a novice, you will come away with

many useful tips. Mark Sullivan Owner of Nitro Express

Safaris–Tanzania Professional Hunter, Internationally

Renowned Author

For many, the idea of hunting dangerous game in Alaska is a dream they

hope to someday experience. Self-guided hunts are not just for hunters

interested in saving money. Hunts of this nature are also for those

seeking adventure, self-reliance, flexibility, and affirmation of their

capabilities. Those who can afford to hunt with a guide often prefer to

challenge themselves and accomplish the hunt on their own. Some of

this information will also prove to be helpful to those who may prefer to

utilize a guide. This book has information that will be useful to both rifle

and archery hunters.

This is only available in trade hardcover edition US $29.95-Shipping is

included in the contiguous United States. The book is autographed when

ordered through the Diizche Safari Adventures website. To order this

book and other products from Diizche Safari Adventures, go to

Clifton Wins Michigan Duck Stamp Contest

Sam Houston Duck Co.

Houston, TX --(Ammoland.com)- It’s been a good year for duck stamp

artist Richard Clifton. Since October 2009, the wildlife artist has won

three state duck stamp prizes, making this year a bright spot in an

already illustrious career.

“It’s still a hoot to win,” he said. “I don’t enter to get fourth.”

His latest victory, Michigan, was won with a lone drake mallard. Elegant

and understated, the composition is less ambitious than the descending

pair of pintail ducks that won him Colorado in March. In all fairness, he

found out about the contest two days before the deadline.

Making a tight squeeze even tighter, Clifton was helping his wife, Terri,

prepare for an annual 5K race she hosts as director of the Chad Clifton

Foundation, a nonprofit organization that raises money for wounded

soldiers.

Terri told him to paint. “You can’t wait for optimum

conditions to succeed,” she said.

He started at 6 a.m., Thursday, July 22, cutting and prepping the board.

As the gesso dried, he drove to Rehoboth Art & Framing and ordered his

matting. By Friday afternoon, the painting was on its way to the

Michigan Duck Hunter’s Association in Midland, Mich.

Two weeks later, he sat in his gallery, knowing they’d be judging the

paintings that evening, waiting for a call. When none came, he shrugged

it off and returned to the house to watch TV. Terri came home a few

hours later. Checking her email, she said to Clifton: “You didn’t tell me

you’d won Michigan.”

“I didn’t know,” he said. The call had come minutes after he

went inside.

Though he’s been painting for more than three decades, he never gets

tired of winning, he said.

“Within the last year, I’ve won three, finished second in one

[North Carolina] and got two top fives [Delaware,

Oklahoma],” he said. “If you were a race car driver, you’d be

having a pretty good year.”

He’s hoping to extend his good fortunes. A reference photo was pinned

to a lamp above his easel for this year’s Oklahoma contest, which he last

won in the early ’90s. His reputation as a painter is well established by

now – especially after he won the Federal Duck Stamp prize in 2007 –

but Clifton isn’t one to rest on his laurels. Every year brings a new crop of

hungry young artists, he said, several of whom are very good.

“It only takes one to beat you,” he said. “But it gets tougher

when there are several good ones.”

The fresh competition only fuels him, he said; it makes him hungrier.

Clifton said he’ll be eligible to enter the Federal Duck Stamp Contest

once again in 2011. He grinned at the prospect.

Outdoor Channel Corps Launches Conservation Tour Of Duty

On National Public Lands Day & Beyond

America’s Leader in Outdoor TV Partners with Cable Affiliates to Host

Hands-On Volunteer Efforts in Local Markets across the U.S. to

Improve Public Lands & Outdoor Spaces.

Outdoorchannel TV

Temecula, Calif.. --(Ammoland.com)- Outdoor Channel, America’s

Leader in Outdoor TV, today announced the launch of the Conservation

Tour of Duty for its Outdoor Channel Corps initiative.

The company’s newly announced philanthropic effort mobilizes

volunteers to restore and improve public lands and spaces to ensure that

the outdoor lifestyle thrives in their communities.

To encourage further participation, beginning this week, Outdoor

Channel is holding a weekly sweepstakes open to volunteers who sign up

to enlist here: http://bit.ly/aNak5H.

A lucky volunteer will be selected weekly to be the recipient of a limited

edition Outdoor Channel-branded iPod Nano and an Outdoor Channel

prize pack.

Outdoor Channel Corps was created in May 2010 to leverage the

unrivaled strength of the Outdoor Channel brand to mobilize passionate

outdoor enthusiasts to volunteer in their communities. The program

aims to recruit one million volunteers for outdoor-related projects over

the next five years, making it the largest outdoor volunteer program of its

kind. Projects will be organized around specific “Tours of Duty” and will

focus on the principles of conservation, outreach, responsibility and

education.

The Conservation Tour of Duty focuses on ensuring access to public

lands and outdoor spaces through restoration and improvement

volunteer events. Conservation of public lands is critical to ensuring that

future generations of hunters, anglers and outdoor enthusiasts have

access to traditional recreational pursuits like hunting and fishing.

According to a General Accounting Office (GAO) report, more than 50

million acres of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and U.S. Forest

Service (USFS) have inadequate access. Through its Conservation Tour

of Duty, Outdoor Channel Corps is determined to dramatically improve

accessibility and restore our cherished public lands.

Outdoor Channel Corps’ first Conservation Tour of Duty will kick off by

deploying volunteers on National Public Lands Day, September 25th,

2010, to a total of eight local markets across the U.S. The network will

lead the charge in restoration and improvement projects in partnership

with various cable affiliates.

“Outdoor Channel has always been a leader in conservation

and related philanthropic initiatives. Outdoor Channel Corps

leverages our network’s unique ability to mobilize our

passionate viewers to make a difference in their

communities,” said Denise Conroy-Galley, Senior Vice

President of Marketing and Research for Outdoor Channel.

“Our Conservation Tour of Duty aims to restore and improve

access to public lands – a critical step in ensuring that the

outdoor lifestyle continues to thrive well into the future. We

look forward to working with our affiliate partners to

encourage communities to take a more active role in

preserving the great outdoors for generations to come.”

Take Me Hunting, Take MeShooting Campaign LaunchedSEP 09, 2010 10:59A.M.

Task Force 20-20 Launches ‘Take Me Hunting, Take Me

Shooting’ Campaign with Support from NSSF

Take Me Hunting, Take Me Shooting Campaign Launched

National Shooting Sports Foundation

NEWTOWN, Conn --(Ammoland.com)- Task Force 20-20, the

committee formed at the NSSF Shooting Sports Summit to evaluate

opportunities to grow hunting and the shooting sports, will begin testing

its first initiative—a coordinated marketing effort in selected states

designed to reactivate lapsed hunters and shooters.

The Task Force 20-20 steering committee has approved piloting the

“Take Me Hunting/Take Me Shooting” campaign this fall. The National

Shooting Sports Foundation, trade association for the firearms,

ammunition, hunting and shooting sports industry, will fund the effort

out of a $500,000 overall commitment to support several Task Force 20-

20 plans to aggressively promote hunting and shooting.

The Take Me Hunting/Take Me Shooting campaign will prompt inactive

hunters and shooters to rediscover the fun and excitement of these great

pastimes and to answer a higher calling—to mentor a new generation of

sportsmen and women. In this way, veteran sportsmen and women can

mold their legacy by developing new ambassadors for the shooting

sports, new conservationists and new supporters of the Second

Amendment.

The pilot states are South Carolina, Alabama and New Jersey.

“Together NSSF and state agencies will make a strong appeal

to formerly active hunters and shooters and remind them

how important it is to share their passion for the outdoors

with a newcomer or a novice,” said Chris Dolnack, senior vice

president of NSSF.

“The choices in recreational activities today are abundant. A

personal invitation from someone well qualified to be a

mentor is one sure way to provide a safe and fun introduction

to what could become a lifetime activity.”

Through the use of print ads, direct mail and a hub website,

www.takemehuntingandshooting.com, the Take Me Hunting/Take Me

Shooting campaign will promote the winning message that mentors are

sorely needed, that mentors’ hunting and shooting skills makes them

well suited to provide an introduction to these activities, and that

hunting and shooting can be enjoyed with families and friends.

This strategy to build participation in hunting and shooting relies on the

powerful ability of state agencies to communicate with sportsmen and

women who once purchased hunting licenses but have not done so in the

last several years. The approach was one of the priority actions

recommended in the “Future of Hunting and the Shooting

Sports—Research-based Retention and Recruitment Strategies,” a

report presented at the Shooting Sports Summit in 2008. It’s also an

approach that has been used by the fishing community with success.

“I want to commend the National Shooting Sports

Foundation for taking the lead in bringing together the states,

industry and NGOs to address recruitment and retention of

hunters and recreational shooters,” said John Frampton,

director of the South Carolina Department of Natural

Resources.

“The funding provided through the excise taxes on hunting

and shooting firearms and ammunition is the lifeblood of

state fish and wildlife agencies. The future of hunting and

shooting may well rest on our ability to work together to

ensure that hunters and shooters remain engaged in our

sports.”

The campaign will be evaluated during the winter months to determine

how effective its messages were in motivating shooters and hunters to go

afield or to the range again.

The steering committee of Task Force 20-20 also plans to launch a

Models of Success program focusing on states that have programs

proven to deliver an increase in participation. Such programs can be

enhanced, expanded and promoted through a marketing campaign

funded by NSSF.

The results of these and other Task Force 20-20 initiatives will be

discussed at the next NSSF Shooting Sports Summit, which is scheduled

for June 2011.

About NSSF

The National Shooting Sports Foundation is the trade association for the

firearms industry. Its mission is to promote, protect and preserve

hunting and the shooting sports. Formed in 1961, NSSF has a

membership of more than 5,500 manufacturers, distributors, firearms

retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen’s organizations and publishers. For

eventually open public access east of San Jose, Calif.–have been selected

to receive grants from the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation in 2010.

The new RMEF funding, totaling $229,425, will directly affect Del Norte,

Fresno, Humboldt, Kern, Merced, Modoc, Monterey, Placer, Plumas, San

Bernardino, San Luis Obispo, Santa Clara, Shasta, Tehama, Trinity and

Tuolumne counties.

Several projects also have statewide interest.

The 339-acre acquisition, called the San Antonio Valley II project, is

historic habitat for an area herd of more than 200 tule elk. In 2006,

RMEF and partners permanently protected 2,900 adjoining acres in

danger of residential development. Today those lands are a state wildlife

management area. The San Antonio Valley II project will expand that

area in the future. RMEF is holding the property until the state can

gather funding to reimburse RMEF and take title.

The Nature Conservancy and The David and Lucile Packard Foundation

provided key support for the project.

Still, San Antonio Valley II almost didn’t happen when funding from

another source fell through. RMEF steered $95,000 in volunteer-raised

funds to keep the project alive. This grant was the largest of 23 awarded

in California this year.

“All of these grants are possible because of the successful

banquets and fundraisers staged over the past year by our

California volunteers–most of whom are elk hunters as well

as devoted conservationists,” said David Allen, RMEF

president and CEO. “Since 1984, our annual grants have

helped complete 390 different projects in California with a

combined value of more than $23 million.”
