Bushnell Legend Ultra HD Riflescope

NRAHuntersRights.org

Fairfax, VA--(Ammoland.com)- During the month of February, visit www.NRAhuntersrights.org for a chance to win a brand new Legend Ultra HD riflescope from Bushnell.

Although not due out on store shelves until April 2012, Bushnell has generously agreed to donate an advance sample from this new line exclusively for the February Gift Giveaway on www.NRAhuntersrights.org.

The model up for grabs is the 3-9x 40mm featuring the exclusive DOA 600 reticle—one of nine configurations in the Legend Ultra HD line. Featuring fully multi-coated optics, Legend Ultra HD riflescopes deliver 91 percent light transmission for a clear, crisp sight picture. The DOA 600 reticle provides aiming points from 100 to 600 yards in 100-yard increments and is compatible with most popular deer-hunting bullet/load combinations.

Each scope in the series is 100 percent waterproof, fog proof and shockproof, and the glass is protected with Bushnell’s patented RainGuard HD coating. This permanent, water-resistant finish causes moisture to bead up and scatter less light, allowing the scope to perform even in inclement weather.

Other features include a sleek new one-piece tube design with low profile turret caps; a slim line power-change ring; and side focus adjustment. Free to one lucky entrant, this scope will retail for $249.99. For more information on all of the quality optics offered by Bushnell Outdoor Products, visit www.bushnell.com.

Bushnell Outdoor Products Provides $200,000 Contribution to Folds of Honor Foundation

Bushnell Outdoor Products

Overland Park, KS. --(Ammoland.com)- Bushnell Outdoor Products, an industry leader in sports optics and outdoor accessories for more than 60 years, has announced its 2011 contribution to Folds of Honor Foundation will total $200,000.

Since establishing a partnership in 2010, the outdoor leader has contributed nearly $300,000 to Folds of Honor.

Founded by Major Dan Rooney in 2007, Folds of Honor provides post-secondary educational scholarships to the spouses and children of service members disabled or killed during U.S. military service. Major Rooney, a former F-16 pilot who served three tours in Iraq, founded Folds of Honor to ensure that families of fallen service members never have to endure alone.

“Thanks to support from partners like Bushnell, 2011 was a monumental year for Folds of Honor Foundation,” said Major Dan Rooney, Folds of Honor president and founder. “Last year alone we were able to double the number of scholarships provided, and as a result of that incredible momentum we hope to provide 1,000 scholarships in 2012,” added Major Rooney.

In 2012 Bushnell will continue its product partnership with Folds of Honor with two exclusive golf laser rangefinders: Bushnell Tour V2 Patriot Pack and Tour V2 Slope Patriot Pack. A portion of the proceeds from each Patriot Pack sold will be donated to Folds of Honor.

About Folds of Honor Foundation
Major Dan Rooney, a PGA Professional, USGA member and former F-16 military pilot with the Oklahoma Air National Guard, founded the Folds of Honor Foundation in 2007 following his second of three tours of duty in Iraq. While a passenger on a commercial flight, Major Rooney witnessed an event that would profoundly change his life. As the plane landed, the pilot announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, we have an American hero on board – Corporal Brock Bucklin – and his twin brother, Corporal Brad Bucklin, is accompanying him home from Iraq. As a sign of respect, please remain seated while Corporal Bucklin’s family receives him in his final homecoming.” Major Rooney watched through the window of the plane as the flag-draped casket was lowered. He saw a family waiting for Brock, and a little four-year old boy waiting for his father. This tragic homecoming inspired Major Rooney to create the Folds of Honor Foundation. As of January 12, 2012, more than one million dependents have been affected by the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Of these, 87 percent do not qualify for federal scholarship assistance. Individuals interested in contributing to the Folds of Honor, and those applying for scholarships should go to FoldsofHonor.org.
